done Tuesday 3D. 3D. per 10 lbs below those

of that abatement recovered several sales having been
made Thursday on terms not obtanabe earlier in the

Al the leading towns in Yorkshire stocks of wheat are
unusually small; and the supplies having barely kept
pace with the demand tardy has been the ate) sellers
have declined submitting 10 greater reduction than Is to
IS per quarter The business done at Hull and Leeds on
Tuesday was however, crcumscribed. Al Wakefield
Thursday, the operations also restricted scale
and the few sales OF wheat effected We're prices Is TO Is
quarter below those current the preceding week.
The accounts from Bristol, Birmingham, Gloucester and
other towns in the vicinity OF these places are OF similar
character 10 the reports above reerredo but whilst there
has been no speculation, and the buyers for pon
have confined their purchases TO as narrow limits as has
been permitted by their pressing wants. there has, on the
other hand in most cases, been degree OF iness on the
part of holders which has prevented prices giving way

the staple article OF consumption with the
classes of that country had been freely offered al about sos

responding abatement had occurred in The interior This
great fall has tended to alleviate the distress and further
supplies OF this nse article OF food are likely to be sent
from Liverpool and other English ports to the sister isle be
sides what may still be on passage from America the Black
Sea, and the Mediterranean, prices of Indian corn will
probably remain at about their present level
The arrivals of wheat coastwse into London have been
moderate, and the show OF samples at Mark Lane on
folk, was small. The greater portion of the wheat
hibted consisted OF white, and as the French buyers
there was not much done for export The town millers
Were, however, pretty free purchasers at Mondays de-
foreign red wheat inquired for French account
but the high R5eienslons Of holders prevented extensive

corresponding TO the decline English, and Wedncs-

The arrivals from abroad have during the week ending
this (Saurday) evenings consisted of 79 qrs, whilst the
exports have, according to the bills of entry, amounted TO
English flour Wednesday the full difficult of
disposal as earlier in the week and in the Absence of ba-
