During the business week ending on the
18th, transactions were still on a moderate
scale, but al improving prices.
On the 18th Of ipril wheat advanced on
to three sl.illings at full rates.
Indian corn was quiet and staedy in val
.ue.
A further advance of one shilling aquar-
ter on wheat took place on the l4th.
On the 18th, the London market was
the scene of much agitation, and nearly all
the Wheat that was on the sale was eagerly
taken on French and Belgian accounts, at a
rise Of prices equal to Is per quarter over
those of that day week. Under other cir
cumstances, such an advance would have
made a favorable i preston on the Stock
Exchange, but the reverse was the case.
During the week ending the 18th, Indian
Corn was in demand. but the supplies were
almost exhausted. The stock ofAmerican
Flour was so much reduced by the previous
heavy transactions that prices of best brands
were fully one shilling per Dbl. above the
rates current on the 18th.
The above is all we have yet received
by Telegraph, but it is sufficient to show
that breadstufs had improved in value.
