w Orleans on the 24th March, ()Wing to short supplies of
grain, business was comparatively inactive, and the rate of
freight being nearly treble that from New York, also operated
much against shipments to this quarter; the export of Flour,
at the moment, was likewise very l►mited, few or no English
orders being in tne market.

The intensely cold weather which prevailed early in the week

in the depth of winter. we'have had repeatcd falls of snow since
our last, which will naturally tend to place the crops in a more
backward position than previous appearances indicated : thus
we need hardly to remark, that while considerable importations
from abroad will be indispensable, the aspect of the growing
crops, as the season advances, will exercise its accustomed in-
fluence upon the trade, and combined with the former, these
contingencies will necessarily regulate the markets of the
United Kingdom until harvest.
During the period Letween Tuesday and to-day Wheat has
remained steady in value, several parcels having changed hands
for re-sale; and Indian Corn moved off as usual for transit to
Ireland at full prices; Flour, however, was taken less freely,
and on rather easier terms. Oats and Oatmp,l, with the pros-
pect of the )utter bciuri wanted, tor re-shipment to Ireland,
were held more firmly, each obtaining a slight advance; other
articles of the trade remaining unvaried.
Many vessels being still detained at sea by adverse winds,
the arrivals of Grain and Flour into this port since Monday
last have been altogether very moderate in amount.
Upon a limited number only of country buyers at our market
to-day, and our local millers having previously, in most cases,
satisfied their immediate wants, business was in general rather
inactive : the transactions in British as well as Foreign Wheat,
therefore, were upon a much more restricted scale than of late,
and prices receded Id. to 2d. per 701 b. below the above rates of
Tuesday. Flour, without any ostensible cause, exhibited much
less animation than on Tuesday, all descriptions of American
being in slow request this morning, at a decline of Is. from
the advance above noted; the extreme price of Western Canal
not exceeding 245. per barrel. Irish Flour was also less sale-
able, and rather cheaper.
Barley, Malt, anti Pease, with the general qualities of Beans,
although taken sparingly, remained unaltered in value. Egyp-
tian Beans alone being 6d. to Is. per quarter lower. Oats were
held steadily at a further advance of Id. per 451 b., and Oatmeal
was ao•ain fid. per load dearer. _ _ _

Indian Corn continuing to meet a lively and extensive de-
mand, yellow samples fully maintained the improved rates of
Tuesday, and white realised freely a further amendment of 6d.
per quarter; Corn Meal commanding 15s. to 15s. 6d. per brl.
