FOREIGN MARKETS.

liverpool Corn Exchange, July 12.-Of En-
glish aud Irish grain the supplies are this week
unusually light, nor are those from foreign ports
nearly so heavy as of late. On reference to an
official statement we find the quantity Of foreign
wheat and -four arrived this season is upwards of
400 900 quarters short of the import for the year
1929, and $50, 900 below that Of 1880. In Hour
there has been fair extent Of business, at Sos a
Sis, for good, and SOS to S3s for choice brands
The better qualities of American and Stettin red
wheats are held at Is to y Sd per 20 lbs. 5000
brls -four have also changed hands at 9ss for New
Orleans, a4s Cd to e5s for New York and Phila-
delphia, and 2Ss Cd to 26s for western canal
There has been more inquiry for oats, but no &C
tual business.
This mornings market was numerousIy attend
ed, and the weather having become little unset
tied. there was more life in the Wheat trade than
tor some time past. and the reduction in prices
noticed during ,he week was fully regained. and
in some instances, for fine fresh parcel the rates
of this hav week were rather exceeded. The
same NAV be said of free American Flour, for
which the demand was pretty brisk.
London Corn Erchnge, JMy 1l-We have for
this morning's market tolerahiy large supply OF
Wheat from Kent. Essex, and Suffolk, the wea-
thpr also being highly favoured for the growing
crop; the Mealing Trade was extremely heavy.
add the best White Wheat barely supported last
Mondays value. while all the Mlddlins and infe-
rior sorts were somewhat cheaper. Flour the
same as last week.

Tue Storm.-The wind continued to blow severely during N ednesday night, but on Ihursday 1t lulled to moderation We how ever still continue to be deinged with heavy rains, The water of the Lake on Thursday, was backed up through the sWamps, and the canal, so as to inundate all the back part of the city. At the mouth ofthe bayon St. John, the water Is np to the gate of Elkin's house, and all the fish eraen have been forced into Mr. Moo ney's, who afforded them protection. IL IS supposed that the two seheoners seen on the Lake previous to the gale, were the Florida and Maria. and strong apprehen- sions are entertained that they and the steam mail boat are lost.

The water extended Tn many streets up as far as Dauphin street, and began slightly to sub side yesterday.
 Our information from the river and Ba- iize is not very full. The Kentucky and Bolivar, outward bound, were safe. The Primera de Mahon was sunk, and two oh l. dren on board drowned. The Ulysses from Glasgow, supposed to have valuable car go, and ship Earl Eioyt, both sunk. Ship Favorite ashore, below Johnson's, and supposed will be lost. The damage in the river craft and rafts belonging to the low CT mills is estimated at from twenty to for ty thousand dollars. The sugar cane above and below the city, is laid fiat, and many persons capable of judging, are efopinion that the loss sustained, will occasion the crop to fall short, at least 10 ,0g0 hhds.-- Two thousand barrels fiime were burnt belonging to the Charity Hospital; and an- other lot was set on fire, pack of Rampant street, on. Thursday night, but was soon oxtingnisied. Although many chimneys, fences, and parts ofseveral new buildings have fallen down, yet still the damage sas- tained in the city and fanxhourgs cannot be great. It is impossible, however, to make any just estimate.-Coufie4,

The Snn on Saturday last presented aslngnlar appearance. Ii was 50 .sshoru oi it's beams, as to be looked at with as lIttle detriment to the eyes. as tue full. moon, and shed a weak greyish blue light oil the earth. The Moon, also, at night hung siekIy in the heavens, as if il had been painted there, throwing from its greyish blue disc not single beam.- The light of the sun aud the shadows looked like they do ia an eclipse. The heavens have been covered several days with thin clouds, with occasional show CTS, and tue temperature has been as oppressive as if the clouds formed con- cave mirrors concentrating the heat on the earth. The Sun continued to throw down tlle same blueisll light Oil yestef- day, though not so remarkably. The weather-wise folks have found many omens of one kind or another in this sin- eular appearance.

Chole9e .Norbus.--A disease with this name, of the most fatal character. and to- tally different from that usually known by the same title among us, Is now desotating the continent of Europe, and spreading alarm and destruction among the conten- ding armies. It is regarded as highly con- tagious and the utmost apprehensions are entertained of its introduction into Eng land. The municipal authorities ofNew Yotk and Philadelphia, have adopted mea- sures for preventing its importation into those ports, by rigid quarantine reguIa- tions. It IS to be hoped, fit be really so dangerous and destructive as it is represen- ted, that the same course will be pursued in our other sea ports, and that this new substitute for the ancient Ieprosy and mod ern plagne may be effectually and perma- nently excluded from onr country. To show with what horror 1t is regarded in Europe, we give the following extract --
 X letter dated Lubeck, June 9th says ," Above loG,ships which left Riga, week after the disorder appeared there, now wander about the Baltic, repalsed from every port, because 1t IS notorious that several of them have the cholera on board. Stcttin and other ports are closed: and the few where there are quarantine establish ments will soon he so crowded, that they will not he able to receive the ships that may arriye.'

The American census for 1896 has been completed, and the result published. The population of the United States, which was 9,637,000 in 1920, was last year, l2,976, ,000, or, in round numbers, thirteen millions. What aprodigy is the growth of this Republic! When the Revolution commenced, in l776 it had less than three. millions of inhabitants, and now 1t has thirteen. Then 1t was on level with Switzerland or Denmark in political con- sideration; now it is the second naval power in the world We roioice in it's progress, for it's strength and its glory be- long to the people, and 10 the cause of truth, justice and freedom all over the world. Ii is pleasant to observe that the States in which there arc slaves are advancing Sc inuci, moro rapidly than the others. The fact renders the evils of sa- very more palpable, and holds out the prospect of it's diminishing every year in relative importance. The population of Scotland and England, in IS1I, was 12, 1858 GOO. or 500 ,0oO less than the United States last year; and New York alone has very nearly as many inhabitants as Scotland had in IS2l.-Lontloa .Horning Chronieie.
