liberal supply Of wheat, whilst from Canada and

throughout the las, two days, very little corn now
remains out in this part Of the district; but from
the Northern counties, and particularly on The
East coast, a small portion OF the crop only is
stated 10 be saved. Free foreign wheat must be
deemed rather cheaper. Free flour, in like man.

Our Corn Market has again been very excited,
the weather, which was unsettled and variable,
continuing 10 exercise an important influence on
prices from week 10 week. In The early part OF
the past month, with continued sunshine for a
fortnight the harvest progressed rapidly, and
prices OF most articles declined; but vet weather
again succeeding, We had several excited mar
kets, with large speculative sales, which caused
a rapid advance OF all descriptions OF grain and

With regard 10 future prices il is impossible &c
