The New York Express says
"A vast portion of the embarrassment that has
ovcrtaken many Of the large Flour and Grain houses
in England and different parts of the Continent has
been occasioncd by the inudicious manner in which
shipments OF grain have been made. The demand
for breadsdiis was so great that corn, wheat and
rye were sent forward in the utmost hurry; every
thing III the shape OF a vessel lOaded-ald most
OF them without any Judgment The consequence
has been that many have fUundcrcd at sea: others
have never been heard FROM and a large number
have been compelled to return, put into some for

Indian Corn that was shipped from this country last
year reached England in a sound state If this is
correct, 1t is easily explained why the losses have

cargocs now going forward will reach their destina

Corn, during most of the last season. cost 100 cts
freight 90, and other charges 80 to 40-making the
aggregate about two dollars laid down in Liverpool.
Now the cost is 10 CENTS freight cents, and other
charges 2o-maklng the whole cost about ITO cents.
III prices should down to 80 cents when our i'm
