| LONDON, March 4.-Upon the opening ofthe mar
kct alter the receipt OF The hostile by the Patrick
Henry, the Funds were considerably depressed, the
price of Consols fell from 96t I, the quotations of
the day before 10 sc and 95S for present transfer and
So to 955 for the account. This result is not 10 be
wondered at when the extreme conduct of the U. S.
Executive on the Oregon question is considered and

that mas elapsed since the pub catiOn of paper on
me 4th uit'' mere has been, generally speaking
dull trade in all descriptions of grain and grain pro
duee. until the commercial policy of Sir Rob't Peel
has been finally disposed of, il 10 in vain TO exDect
any Improvement IN this branch of bHsiness. During
the week ending Feb, -, the transactions Wheat,
both free and III bond, were unimportant, and some
dlihculty experienced in maintaining the rates cur
rent during the previous week.
Flour met with little attention; under all the cir
cumslances, II is questionable whether mlers will
be enabled TO keep the top price of Sos per sack much
longer, unless the wheat trade varies. On the 9th
ultiIho, the Wheat trade was steady in value, but
buyers only took fine qualities for the supply of their
present wants. At the market held on the ID inst,
scarcely any Improvement took place. less Influence
being produced the trade by the result of the dv-
sion on the corn-aw question than might have been
expected; indeed business remained in precisely the
same position as before. An early settlement of the
matter being looked upon still doubtful.
For the fine qualities ofhome- grown Wheat former
rates were paid viz: red 50 to SIS; old Sc 62s
new white 81 to 63s; old, 60 TO 64s per or. In duty
PAID foreign Wheat scarcely any thing was done,
ing to the want of suitable qualities; prices remained
nomnally una!tered. Bonded Wheat was in rather
neglected state, as II was IN general held above a
speculative price. There little business done in
Flour, but prices were mostly unchanged American

LIVERPOOL-We have little to remark upon the
Corn trade here since the sailing of the ''Cambra.n

AMERICAN PRODUCE MARKET.
From the Circular OF Messrs. J. & c. Kirkpatrick
We regret 10 repeat the observation we made Ill our
circular of February that still suffering severe
ly from the results OF the wild speculation of the latter
portion of last year The great delay in the settlement
of the proposed changes IN eur tariff, with the locking
up of fifteen millions of capital in the shape of railway
deposits have tended TO cranp most severely all bust
ness transactions. This has also been the cause of
heavy and numerous failures, both in London and Liv
erpoo * there is now existing gloom of suspicion x
dis trust over the whole commercial community. The
result is that business is almost suspended mott from
want of regular consumption, but that every one IS
looking with anxiety to the fulflmcnt Of existing
gagements, and fearful ofcontractng new. As a mat
ter of course the price of all produce has been forced
down, and will remain until the locked up capital is
restored to its legitimate channel, and the proposed al
teratOns in our duties finally arranged.
Bcef-ln the early part of the month Beet was very
dull, with considerable arrivals; but within the past
ten days have had orders to extent from the
outports, which have relieved us, aud quote fair
demand at our prices above.
Pork does not improve the sales have been next to
nothing, and our quotations must be considered almost
nominal. More care and cleanliness must hn given
to this article before any Improvement in the demand
will take place.
Chcese.-l'hc proposed reduction in the duty has,
of course sent all our arrivals into hond aud the sale
las been suspended under the idea of the trade that
reduction would take place equal to the difference of
duty. The stock i'll in few hands, who not press
ing sales; but we look for healthy demand when
once we can pay duty at rates not materially differing
from last month.
Lard is worse and worse. The stock in first hands
is still very considerable, and holders pressing sales
al further reduction oiuly IS on the fail quoted in
our last.
Talow is in fair demand. The stock is under all
average, and nothing but the number and magnitude
OF the failures of houses connected with this article has
prevented our reaZng6d to Is per cwt over our quo
ations.
Hidcs.-Thc sales during the month have been ex-
tensvc, but at rather lower prices owing the large
import ola quality TO complete with N. o. Hides. We
must point out, in marked language, the very great
loss from the invoice weight in the recent arrivals of
Wet Sailed Hides from the United States The ave
rage loss by shaking the ordinary way should not
exceed BIB to per hide, but i'll three lots lately land
ed here, the loss averaged fully lob EACH If this sys
TEN is pursued will of course destroy and justly So
all confidence, and we therefore warn those interested
to guard against it.
Hemp does not improve in value. The sales have
been TO limited extent, and the change in value has
been in favor of the buyers.
Cloverseed,-The demand has just commenced, the
quality is by no means fine, but sales TO extent
have been made during the past week, from ABS to SOS
in bond.

THE FREsHEr. The Buffalo Commercial
of Monday, says that the damage by the fresh
ct, will fall short of what many at first suppos-
ed. Under the circumstances, it is impossible
to form correct estimate of the loss, but we
feel confident that it is much exaggerated, and
