ced in price since our last. and sales in small
parcels have been made at S6i.

600 bushels of Corn arrived,-and all of it was
sold at So Is cts. Hay continues very scarce.
A lot of 100 bales. received from Savannah, was
sold at 80 to dealer; and it is probable another
small lot would bring that price. We quote &C

GRAIN MARKETS ON THE CONTINENT.
We have been favored by commercial! friend
with letters from different parts of the Continent
of Europe, all relating to Grain. We have made
the following extracts, which may be interesting
to many of our readers. ~. Y. Daily ,.7du
HAMBURG, Dec. 1O.-The disturbances IN
Poland, combined with the lively accounts of the
Wheat trade from England, and increased order
from thence. have caused much inquiry for that
article, particularly for delivery in Spring: and
but for the great scarcity of vessels, no doubt
purchases would have been made for immediate
shipment-as 1t was, but few sales have been
made, but the market is very firm: for delivery
there is now no chance of lower prices: indeed
circumstances seem strongly to favor the opinion
that higher prices may soon be expected.
DaNz1e, Cd Dec.-The whole of our stock of
Wheat is estimated at about 60O0 lasts; that now
left disposable for sale may probably not exceed
oh IA nf inf
With these prospects before US for winter, we
cannot possibly think a fall likely: nor have we
chance of doing business to some extent, as in
former times: some are trying to purchase IN Po-
land. but there, too, prices have got up SO much
that they are not much short of ours, including the
expenses of sending the wheat down: this is even
worse than buying here, for it is absolutely i'm
possible to know when you can have the wheat
here brought into condition for shipment What
prices will be in spring, will mostly depend upon
London duties, markets, sc. You may. there
fore. be better able to Judge than we; it is, how
eyer natural to suppose that your duties will
probably decline towards spring, and that there
fore our present high rates will be maintained to-
wards uly, for no supplies that we can possibly
get will have the effect of Cutting our market
II is, besides, not expected that the supplies will
be large. as the wheat grown, although generally
of good quality, is by no means plentiful.
Sr PETERsBuReH, Goth Nov.-The last trans
actions in Wheat were 1000 chetwerts 10 pood
hard, at Is Ro.; half down, and half payable lst
February: and 1000 chetwerts soft, half pood
80 and half pood Is lbs. at "a Ro.; Ro.
down. and balance LIST March: all out Of the stock
in loco. There are no more sellers at these pri-
ces, and no quantity could be obtained unless
at an advance of to Ro. holders being very
back ward in consequence of the high prices paid
in Odessa

RorrERpaM, Dec. 13.-The supplies of Zea
land Wheat continue small. and last Mondays
prices are fully supported. During last week,
we have had some arrivals OF red Wheat from the
Upper Rhine, generally Of mlidling quality and
condition. whereof partial sales have been made
at the undernoted prices. but the greater portion
is being landed in expectation OF better markets.
In old granaried parcels the transactions were
limited. vet prices are very firm. A few cargoes
of DantZig wheats have arrived, but holders are
rather unwilling to part with them, and that de-
scription alse brought the terms of this day sem
night. Inland Rye was scarce ana maintains It's
value.
! Letters from Marseilles, received at New York
nv the late arrivals, mention that the price OF
VI ines had risen considerably, in consequence OF
the short vintage; and that the usual quantity
would not be sent to the U. States during thsen-
suing season.
