remarks on the Corn Trade, chiefly the rs."I
correspondence with intelligent friend, on !
subject.
The various reports of crops of Gram IN i

merge into one. that Wheat was yerv detsSr.

some of the principal corn districts in the Son.
viz: Essex. Kent, Norfolk, aud Suffolk :
grain proved also contrary to the expectatic
many, short in produce-in the whole kind
more than one quarter short of an average srm
Barley, although on some light gravely
toned soils pretty good, was, on the whole. d.
, cicut. Oats. from the lack of plant and imn,.
rity. are found at length to be one-fourth urdl
an average produce. Beans and Peas Y,
noth badly podded, and consequently short cnn
Potatoes and Turnips were defcient-thiu NJ
the ground, aaj too generally bad in quaIir.
Other results, from the wet and ungenia seae
could hardly have been anticipated.
Similar weather spread its influence over sy'
mart Of Europe; all the crops in the Corn diyrr
from whence the Baltic ports are supplied, vel
deficient in quantity as well as quality, Wild

France. In some of the Polish corn proyin,s
Wheat is reported good in quality, atho.d
short IN produce. America was more favor,
the harvest of Grain on that continent having d
nerally proved abundant.

From the foregoing statements 1t would aHd
we have had a third successive bad crop

the stocks of old Wheat left in this country az
