I retail sales AIS is occasionally obtained in
New York there is nothing whatever doing.
a correct price cannot be quoted for il, nsr
could sales be effected except by forcing il
O.. at very low rates. Our foreign supplies
of wheat have not o: late been very heavy,
but they have been regular and are still
pretty considerable. Our own farmers since
the harvest was finished have also been
bringing forward Their new grain rather
freely, and from Ireland the new whea, IS
coming forward abundantly, so that our
market is at present literally supplied, and
the demand, lowing to the supplies which
the inland markets are receiving from The
farmers not being very extensive, our pri-
ces have been rather looking down; good
Baltic wheat may be quoted from l9 rs
Sd; good Russian los Sd a los Cd and good
American would sell at lis Cd l2s Sd per
7olb. Oats, barley and beans continue very
high, and the demand from the interior is
likely 10 be great. American rye is selling
slowly at from 44s 46s per quarter. We
have before noticed the deficiency in the
crops Of all kinds Of grain in this country:
the effects Of the deficiency may not how.
ever be very apparent for some lime, as far
as respects our wheat markets; general
disposition among the farmers to bring for.
ward their grain freely for while, combi.
ned with good supply of foreign wheats
may prevent any want being Immediately
felt, and also keep down our prices toa
moderate standard but that we Shall re.
quire in tie interval between this and ogg
mex; harvest most extensive import OF 10.
reign grain, there can be no question lie
period OF consumption will not only in all
probability be longer than usual, but the
great deficiency in our crops ofbarley oats,
and beans viii! necessarily increase the con.
sumption Of wheat, and cause our wants 10
be the greater; from the state OF the crops
however on the continent of Europe, there
can also be no doubt, considering the va.
rious sources from which the supplies may
be drawn, that they will in the aggregate
be OF large amount, and as even our pre-
sent rates leave profit on the importations
from most quarters Of Europe, any advance
of importance in This country would pro.
badly draw forth supply adequate to all
our wants.
We annex the average corn returns for
the 5 weeks since the commencement of
the present quarter. We are inclined to
think that unless our farmers continue 10
bring their grain freely to market, in the
intermediate period, that our ports will be
open next quarter generally for all kinds Of
grain including rye.
