By referring to an article on grain, in the Re-
view of the Market, it will be seen that nine
thousand bushels of barley have reached here
from Constantiuople. being the production of A
STA Minor. This, we believe, is the first parcel
that has ever arrived here; the quality appears to
be good, in sound state. pump and bright. We
are tod it will pay the shipper at the very low
price barley is selling a, here. II would be
most extraordinary fact. If the opening Of com.
mercial trade with the Sublime Porte, should be
the cause Of introducing into this country barley
aud wheat, which are raised in abundance in that
country. Upt the present period, grain, flour,
Sc have been among the most impOr, ant articles
Of export from Wis country.-N r Daily Adr.
