CoNTINENrAL--There has been a moderate business
done at some of the principal ports in the Baltic in wheat
for shipment TO England; but, from the generally low
stocks OF old III that quarter and the scanty manner in
which the farmers have hitherto brought forward sup
plies of new, the actual sales had not been large. At
Danzg abon 2iO lasts changed hands during the week
ending 7th November, small portion of which con-
sisted of fine high mixed the growth of 1872 for which
SIS rqr had been realized; but the bulk of what had
been sold had been OF ordinary quality not weighing
more than 59lbs per bushel at price equal to 49s per
Or free board The arrivals from the interior down
sufficient water to float down the barges The weather
had become very cold and an early close of the inland
navigation was expected The total exports of wheat
from Danzg, during October had amounted to 1882 lasts
upwards of 1000 OF which had gone to Holland France
Belgium, and Jersey and the remaining 1900 lasts to
British ports Several vessels had come to hand which
had had the effect OF causing small decline the rates
of freight large vessel had been chartered for Liver
pool at S. lod and another had been placed for London
at 6s. per Or. for wheat.
From Konigsberg we have letters of the 9Th Instant
beyond purchase or two of oats and peas the former
l9s to 2Os and the latter at 4Os per quarter very little
appears to have been done there in the grain trade In
wheat absolutely nothing and in barley only retail sales
had taken place.
Letters from Stettin of the 9th instant inform us that
good many ships had arrived at Swnemunde, the load
ing of which, it was expected gave some impetus to the
business in corn; meanwhile hardly sale had been
made, and the value of most articles had remained nomi
nally unaered Barley for spring shipment had, how
been offered at reduced terms, contracts having been
closed at 30s. per quarter.
The accounts from Rosock, of the 9th instant are
wholly without interest, no supplies OF grain having been
brought to that market of sufficient consequence TO allow
any business beyond that of local character being done
At Hamburger some purchases Of wheat appear TO have
been made on French account and the advices of the
10th instant from thence state that quite 900 quarters
had been taken for that destination, at price equal to
53s. I'd. per quarter. Barley had moved off somewhat
slowly and the value of this grain had tended down
wards New sale had been held at 3ss t6d but the
highest bid obtained had not exceeded 37s Cd per quar-
ter, The demand for oats had also fallen off materially
In the Mediterranean, comparatively little wheat APP
Of the supplies from other parts having been directed TO
Marseilles, where prices continue very high.
A letter from Genoa, dated 9th OF November, states
that good many wheat-laden vessels had arrived there
but that many of them had orders to proceed to Mar
settles Maranopole wheat worth at the first named
port Sis 3D. to Sos, and Polish Odessa Sos to SIS Sd
In the lower Baltic ports the transactions very
restricted scale, and prices nomnally unaered. The
supplies are increasing, and with dull accounts from this
side prices will probably decline Prime new Rosock,
