parts of Germany, the winter corn has suffered very much from the

weather,been hindered from recovering. The prospect' of a good
crop of winter cora are therefore very precarious. Under these
circumstances, the prices are rising as the old stock decreases; to
which may be added, the probability of exportation to England.
