rivals Of Wheat from Ireland either Of home
growth or foreign during the last fortnight have
been very considerable, as have also been the
imports from the United States. For a week or
ten days past heavy losses have taken place in
Flour and Meal by leakage. which has rendered
large quantity unmerchan,abIe. The rumors
OF the appearance Of the Polatoe disease, though
unconfrmed, have not yet subsided; but they do
not exercise the smallest influence upon the
market. Subsequent to the departure Of the last
steamer the market fully realized the upward
tendency, which was maintained until ubou, the
