CORN EXCHANGE.'' vuousT 9.

Unfavourable weather at blooming time in many sections of
England and Ireland, with subsequent heavy rains, cause very
indifferent reports of probable yield in quality of the new crop
of Wheat,-and in several counties mildew and rust are reported
to have made considerable ravages in the crop.—lt is of course
too early to arrive at any accurate opinion, but from all ac-
counts hitherto received a decided deficiency of yield and math
coarseness of quality may be calculated-• upon in England; how-
ever good the weather may henceforth prove : in Ireland,
taking the Short surface planted with Wheat, and the estimated
deficiency cf yield, most of our present advises lead to the con-
clusion that the harvest will not give •te quantity much more
than the half of last year's production. Scotland, however,
appears to be an exception, the weather there throughout hav-
ing been much more seasonable, and the prospects for harvest
on the whole-exceedingly good. Complaints of Potato disease
become daily more general, and much -alarm is necessarily
excited, more perhaps from the uncertainty to how great an
extent the injury may hereafter spread, than from any actual
defect at present apparent in the root itself. That the leaves
and stalks are-extensively affected is beyond doubt, and many
rumours begin to prevail of actual disease in the tubers, hut
the future remairs very much a mystery, and it would scarcely
-be justifiable as yet to pronounce thedecided opinion of general
'failure. The breadth planted so much exceeds that of late
years, that if a certainty existed of only-one-third of the crop
being lost, it is calculated an ample sufficiency would remain
for the purposes of human food : under existing apprehensions
large quantities ave being forced to market at -unusually low
prices, which must to a certain extent diminish the quantity
available for the future. Although frequent intervals of fine
and wet weather have prevailed here since,our last report, and
appear to have extended to many other parts of the country,
the =leading Grain markets of the United -Kingdom seem in
general to remain neither very active n•r interesting so far
during the week ; thetrade with us at the same time continu-
ingfirm, with little change in the value of any article from
previous quotations. We have been very scantily-supplied with
any kind of English or Irish produce since Monday last, and
less from abroad than of late, as will be observed on reference
to our import note below. Notwithstanding we bad muoh rain
last night and more during market hours to-day, no active or
extensive.operations wereapparent in any branch of the-trade.
In good useful qualities of Foreign Wheat principally, the
transactions were merely upon a moderate scale for consump-
tion ; in addition to these, -however, some parcelebaving been
taken by speculative buyers, with a little more buoyancy-to-
wards the close of business, the full rates of Tuesday were
~maintained, and in a few cases slightly exceeded. The light
-stock of States and Canadian Flour remaining here, ,being
'mostly withheld from sale, may be considered quite as dear as
last noted, and having little •Irish at hand, good marks of
french were readily saleable atthe extreme rates of Tuesday.
Barley andißeans, upon a moderate demand, remained steady
in-value, and Pease were the turn dearer.—Malt dull at late
prices.--Oats and Oatmeal, continuing to meet a limited in-
quiry, merely -sustained our last quotations.—lndian Corn,
although in slow request for consumption, continued to meet
some-attention for investment, and at a slight abatement a fair
amount of business .might have ensued; but holders remaining
firm at former prices.ehecked the demand, and but few sales
traeapired.
