large arrivals previously noted, amount

port rate on foreign Wheat to lSs. per
quarter, aud on Flour 10 los. l0d. per
barrel, forms the only change in the duties
for the week ensuing. The fine weather

trade here, in all its bearings, was quiet,

ARRIVAL OLE The HIRERNlA

After the above remarks wero in type and lust
as We we're preparing to make up our form, we re-
eeiyed the Eastern Mail announcing the arrival Of
the "Hibernis,' and we hasten to place before our
readers a portion Of the news brought by her.
The European Times of October 4th says:-
THE Corn MARKET. The Corn mar.
ket continues firm; and the fine weather
which prevailed last week at the sailing
Of the steamer Great Britain having been
followed by repeated and heavy fails OF
rain, the makel in the early part of the
present week, acquired additional firmness,
and continues so, with slight drawback
at the present time. Large quantities of
Flour are daily arriving from the United
States and Canada; and from the nature
OF the advices recently sent across the
Atlantic, the supply from those quarters,
there IS every reason to believe, will in.
crease. From the causes at which we
glanced at our last publication, the import
rate on wheat has advanced TO lss--the
result OF the inferior qualities thrown on
the market. The import duty on -four is
now los l0d. per barrel In some IN.
stances recently, Irish Flour has receded
Is. per sack, and Canada Cd per barrel.
Influenced by the large arrival from The
West, which amount since Monday IN
nearly 1000 barrels,

We direct the attention of Capitalists to the sd
vertisement of Messrs. ALFRED Ross and Jacob
REKs, administrators of Ellis Rces, decd, which
will be found in advertising columns this week
To any one wishing to invest capital in Mills, we
do not know more favorable opportunity than the
one row presented by the above gentlemen. These
Mills are admirably located, and the aour manu-
featured by them justly maintains most enyeblt
reputation both at home and in the Eastern mar
kets. The section Of country in which they are To-
Gated, is truly of the finest regions for wheat

upon which they are located generally strong and
powerful. ANY wishing to view this valuable

upon the adminisuators-an particularly upon

LANDS FOR SALE.

Our attention has been arrested in looking over
our Pennsyly Maryland and Virginia exchaug-
es, at the unusual number of Farms for sale Why
ia thisf A few years since there were more pur-
ehasers than sellers in market, and capital sought
landed investments as the only safe and certain
protection from the storm of bankruptcy and ruin
which sweeping in fury throughout the coun-
try But the force OF that storm is now spent, and
much Of the capital invested in landed property is
seeking to get back again into the more rapid
channels of weallh--the STOCKS MARKET AND
TRADE. We have no doubt this is one among the
prominent reasons why there 50 many farms
for sale now, as all remember that during the tight
est and most pinching times, from the spring OF
1897 nm to the establishment OF the Tariff Act Of
l8,2-when money was scarce--stocks Of all dss-
ctiutions down-and commanded high prices, and
maintained them. But farming operations are
not rapid enough, for the minds and spirits OF those
.ccp,,omed 10 more active business in life, and
hence the testlessness prevailing. No one will
pretend TO doubt that farming judleionsly and eco
nonically managed, brings with II more sure and
certain rewards, than The hazardous operations OF
Trade and Commerce, YET men are LAT more dis'
posed TO risk all the hazards OF Trade, with pros
pset of becoming rapidly wealthy. than to be plod
ding along slowly and surely, and digging alo'lnne
from the bowels Of hs earth. And again another
reason may be addueed for the present condition
OF the Land market Especially in this region OF
