The Hibernia arrived at Boston on the
Sd inst, bringing detes to the 10Th May.
The news is important.
The smallness Of the stock ofgrain all O.
yer Europe, and the scarcity of provisions
being more and more felt, and as high pri-
ces were previously, a further important
advance has taken place in the value of
Breadstuffs, as well in this country as in
many of the near Continental ports, within
the last fortnight.
American Flour in Liverpool selling at
40 and so shillings.
White Corn selling at 62 to &c shillings
per quarter.
American Red Wheat lbs Cd TO l4s.
White Wheat l4s Sd to 14s Sd.
The Cotton trade has suffered severely
from the pressure which has prevailed in
the monetary circles. A better feeling
has however begun to manifest itself since
the merchants have had leisure to peruse
| the advices brought by the Cambria.
A great amount Of business in cotton is
being done, and prices have an advancing
tendency.
The uncertainty in regard to the imports
into the kingdom affording sufficient to car
ry US to the next harvest, and the doubt
generally entertained whether enough will
reach us from foreign ports to make up for
| the deficiencies, have been the cause oi
the late advance, and we must admit thai
the shortness Of the supplies from the grow.
ers, the general deminution of the stock in
the graneries at the different maratime
ports, and the general tone of the advices
from abroad, have afforded ample cause for
apprehension.
Wheat has, however, now reached so
high point as to put it beyond the reach
of the poorer classes. A greatly contract
ed consumption must therefore follow, and
this may perhaps be the means of staying
any further immediate rise in the value.
