From The London AercantileJouynQl Oct. Q
The Grain Trade necessarily continues to
attract much attention. Wheat still adj an
ces IN value, and appears likely 10 do so -
Foreign Wheat, is now making for our ports
in but slender parcels; indeed, il appears
tina, there is but very little to come from any
quarter. The preteXt OF the Corn laws ap,
Grating toprpyide resources for this country
IN case OF famine, is now thoroughly exposed
for such IS the result Of their operations, that
foreigners having no market here for their
Grain, have generally ceased 10 grow Tor this
counlIy.-Ihe consequence is, that IS hen
this country is short thoy have none to send
her. Such is the fact now, and this fact of
itself must tell very powerfully against The
Corn Laws. The variation which occurs
in the duty Of foreign Wheat excites com
paraii'ely but little interest. Ii seems pref
ty certain now that we must have higher
priced w heat FOR some time. The Duty on
Foreign Wheat is now los Sd per quarter
he whole countty appears TO be moving a.
ssinsi the Corn Laws.

There is nothing 10 DO had OF common
