and SO high are prices, that Government

inst. allowing Foreign Flour to enter for
four months from lst November, TO 28th
February next, on paying Il duty of 100
Ries per Alqr. equal to about lo0 cents
per barrel, whenat the expiration OF SAID

Baltimore do. S,4Oo $500 on board.
The season for Indian Corn is over, and

We beg leave to advise you of the most
material changes that have taken place III
the state and prospects of our market for
American produce, since our Circular of
the I4tlr ult was transmitted to YOU.
The demand for Pot-Ashes for cxporta-
ton has continued to be nearly equal to
the extent of the imports from the Uni
ted States. The last sales of Newly DIRK
Pot-Ashes were at ABS. per cwt. in bond
and one or two orders remain uneXecuted
which are limited to 42s. The demand for
Pot-Asbcs for home use is almost wholly
supplied by Montreal Ashes, which sell
In small quantities at sos. per cwt. Pearl
Ashes have become extremely scarce, and
sell at 67s to 68s per cwt with Pros
pect of higher prices being obtained for
them, unless the imports become more
considerable than they have recently
been. The demand for Ashes in Ireland,
Is exceedingly limited, and an expec-
tation prevails both there and in this
country that tie price of Pot Ashes will
be lower.-The demand for Qucrcitron
Bark is still very limited and although
fbp 81 ~ n Ill,
from the larseness of the stocks the pri-
ces DO not improve. Some small parcels
OF very fine Philadelphia Banks have been
sold at los. per cwt., but more than Us.
Cd. to l9s. Cd. per cwt. cannot be obtain
ed for larger quantities. Newly ork banks
are not in much demand at los. to us.
per cwt.-American Shumac unsalca-
Bile, and nominaily las. to 10. per cwt.-
Bees Wax, 2lOs. per cwt.-From the
wetness OF the season, Ciover-send has
been very much injured, and the price
has advanced; the best English is now
worth 95s. per cwt., and American would
sell at 80s. to 35s. per cwt.
There IS at present good demand
for the best qualities otLcaf and steamed
Tobacco, for the home trade, and the pri-
ces are Il little higher: Virginia Leaf now
sells at Cd. to ID I'd; stemmed at Id. to
l3hd; Georgia, Carolina, a. Kentucky at
s. to SD; Maryland 81 TO SD, fine yell
low at l0d. TO I'D. per ID.
From the middle until nearly the end
OF September, the weather throughout
the country was tolerably good, during
which period considerable progress was
made i'll the harvest, and a hope enter
tanned that the produce might have been
a fairayerage crop, but for upwards of the
last 3 weeks the weather has again been
particularly wet and unfavorable for f.
nishing the harvest, which, throughout
the whole kingdom, is not more than
three-fourths secured. All descriptions
Ofgrain have been materially injured by
the badness of the weather, and from the
deficiency in quantity and quality, lhe to-
tai produce may be fairly estimated as not
exceeding tllree-fourtIis of an average
crop. The proportion of good Wheat of
other Grain this crop will be smaller than
1t has been since 1900, and probably small
Ter than IT was III that year-FrOm the
shrveilcd appearance and soft quality Of
the new Wheats, very few Of them are vet
in ST state for present use the best old
Wheats sell readily in this market at 6s
10 Us per 70 lbs and in most parts ofihe
Kingdom they command prices not mate
rally different whilst the new Whcats in
general sell for little more than two thirds
Ofthe price: The best American -four would
at this time command CTS. TO 6gs. bar
rel: and sour flour in bond has been
sold Al Jos, the stock Of which in this
market IS nearly $4,000 barrels The
