TIE EUROPEAN CORN TRADE.

From tie JIuk Lime Express.
The weather has throughout the week been high
" favorable for the harvest operations and vast
quantity of corn has been carried learn however,
that the rain which fell about the middle of the month
did less injury, the grain having in some in
stances sproutcd in the car. In regard TO the yield
to the acre the reports generally of satisfactory
character; and it is the prevailing opinion that
the produce of wheat will be fully equal that of
average seasons whilst barley and oats described
as very abundant crops. The accounts in respect 10
the late planted potatoes have, on the other hand,
become less favorable, more particularly those rccciv
cd within the last few days from Scotland and Ire
land; but, owing the belief that there will be
abundance of grain the partial failure of potatoes is
looked upon with less alarm than formerly, and pri-
ccs of ali articles have continued TO decline at all the
leading provincial markets held during the week.
The Liverpool market was, however, numcrousy
attended by buyers from distant parts of the country
on Tuesday, but the inquiry was directed more TO
flour than TO wheat; and whilst the latter article re-
coded 3D. per 40 lbs the former cd. TO Is. per
barrel Later in the week the adv ancc on flour could
not be maintained; still large amount OF business
was done on Friday, the best brands OF Western
canal bringing 26s Cd, and secondary sorts 2is. TO
Dos per barrel. Owing to the unfortunate reports
from ireland relative TO potatoes, Indian corn excited
good deal of attention ut Liverpool on Friday, but
il was necessary accept low terms to effect sales
Farmers being still busily occupied in the fields, lit
tic time has been afforded to thrash or bring new
to market and the supplies at the leading towns
in the agricultural districts have been quite moder-
ate; the quantity brought forward has nevertheless
proved more than equal TO the demand and prices
have undergone further depression as well at the
different shipping ports on the east coast as at the
principal markets in the interior. The quality OF the
wheat is stated TO be inferior TO The growth OF
last year; but Judging by the weight per bushcl,
