CORN TRADE

There has only been a fair demand for broadstuffs since our
last report. We notice no material alteration in prices in
this market. Following are the present quotations :

Per bbl. Per bbl.
Genesee flour, dols 4,25 a 4,31 Georgetown 4,25 a
Troy, 4,25 a Bushel.
Ohio, 4,18 a 4,25 Genessee wheat, 87 a
Michigan, 4,18 a 4,25 Illinois wheat, 85 a 873
Rye flour, 3,18 a 3,37 Northern rye, 61 a 221
Buck wheat, 2,62 a 3,70 Corn, 50 a 54
Cora meal, 2,75 a 2,87 Barley, 47 a4B
New Orleans flour, 4,12 a 4,19 Canal oats 27 a2B

Supplies are now to a fair extent, having reached to up.
wards of 650,000 barrels for the season. This only includes
that received down the North River. We have had an aggre-
gate supply this year of one million barrels.

Extensive sales of wheat were making in Buffalo on the
26th, at 63 cents. Best brands of flour 3,50 dollars, al-
though inferior miscellaneous samples have been sold as low
as 3,30 dollars. Corn is out of request at 34 cents. Oats
15 cents on the 28th. A cargo of 5,000 bushes wheat from
Monroe was afloat, which was contracted for to arrive, but
the purchaser failed to meet his engagement. It will proba-
bly bring 67 cents. An advance of freights on the canal has
thrown corn out of the market. There was one cargo afloat
but no offers to purchase.
The best samples of wheat were offered freely in Cleveland,
on the 26th, at 60 cents, at which some sales were made.
There was no particular price for flour, holders beir'r un-
willing to accede to rates corresponding with the New York
market-3k would be given.
The potato trade in Wiscasset, Me., appears pretty well
under way. They were selling quick at is. per bushel, cash,
and 20 cents in exchange for goods. The crop in that sec-
tion was heavy.

The farmers in Canada will probably not have to complain
again this year of the want of rain to facilitate their fall
ploughing. It has rained considerably there lately ; and on
the 19th there was a sprinkling of snow for the first time this
season on the distant highlands. There has as yet been very
little frost, and the crops have been gathered in without ma-
terial injury from the weather. The wheat crops in those
parts of the country where this grain is still sown suffered by
rust. The injury by the fly has been less general than for
many years past.
It is to be seen by these facts that flour cannot rise, but
continue to decline for at least two weeks or a month longer.
Even now prices are as low as they have been known for the
last half century,--as low as they were in 1808. We do not
believe that the average price all over the country will reach
four dollars a barrel: we believe that it is certainly ls. under
that point.

The Courrier Francais contradicts the report which ap-
peared in a morning contemporary, that Louis Phillipe was
about to abdicate in favour of the Duke of Nemours.
Among the miscellaneous news from Egypt as collected
from private letters, it is stated that the mortality among the
cattle continued, and was supposed to have destroyed 150,000,
from which cause and the slow rate at which the Nile was
subsiding, the labours of agriculture were almost suspended.
The importation of mares is being carried on with great ac-
tivity, to augment the breed of horses for the purposes of
agriculture. Four Egyptian frigates have been devoted to
this service, two of which have lately returned from Silesia
with a cargo of 370.
The mystery which prevailed yesterday concerning Mexi-
can stock is not yet cleared up to the satisfaction of the
parties concerned. The agents had, it appears, from time to
time been asked so many questions as to the amount of stock,
that they declined answering any more; and the last in-
quirer having failed in obtaining the answer he desired, he
made the question an affair of the Stock Exchange Commit-
tee, who wrote to Messrs. Lizardi, requesting to know the
amount of Mexican stock which they had issued. The re-
ply of the agents was sent to-clay, and was to the effect, that
they knew of no precedent for an agent of a foreign govern-
ment answering such inquiries without the authority of the
government which he represented. They added, moreover,
that the conversion being yet incomplete, an answer could
not as yet be given as to the amount of stock issued, but
that when it was finished they bad no doubt the Mexican go-
vernment would authorise its publication. The committee
of the Stock Exchange, under these circumstances, intend
to push their inquiries further.—Times.

The lines entitled " The Lament " are paltry in the extreme•
Surely our correspondent did not expect we should oblige
him so far as to give them insertion in our columns. • _

We cannot comprehend the hieroglyphics in the last verse of
" The Deathbed," and, even were it otherwise, the lines
have not sufficient merit for publication.
The communication of " G. L." is under consideration.
