The New York Express says: Sc The passage of the
Corn Laws in England has some influence on our
markets. There is constant demand Tor flour, at
very low prices, FOR the English market. Although
the export is large, it is sufficient to take out OF
the market portion Of the surplus on hand, and in
this way contributes to "prerent decline IN prices
that might otherwise take place." There Is more
sense in this than in whole columns of fudge in favor
Of protection, as they call 1t.
