HALF A MONTH LATER FROM EUROPE.


intelligence from England, her accounts from Liver
pool being to the 4th instant.
The political intelligence is exceedingly meager,
but the commercial news is of Importance. Trade
in England has assumed more healthy appear
ance, and greater degree of confidence exists
among the commercial circles In the manulac-
turing districts most of the cotton mills are begin
ming to work the full ten hours time, and spinners
and manufacturers are firm in their demand for an
| advance IN prices to cover the rise in cotton.
The great number of arrivals at British ports with
breadstuifs, and a prospect of glorious harvest,
has produced further fall in wheat from the high
est point, of not less than 36s. per quarter. The
| supplies OF Indian corn continue so large that it
has fallen more rapidly than almost any other kind
| OF grain. In April it commanded 75s. per quarter !;
at present II brings little more than 4Os.
There appears to be some appearance OF the po-
tato disease, but to what extent this cause will affect
the prices OF breadsutfs cannot be now ascertained
The European Times, in concluding an article on
the subject of breadsufs, says:
There be doubt that the stock in all the available
markets OF Europe will be quite exhausted before the harvest
indeed the food riots in conproducng spots consequence
of the high prices prove that the dealers have oyersod them
selves and exported the produce which required for their
wants In England satisfied that very little stock
remains IN the farmers hands Some instances OF OBJ
thing In month hence there will be little none
ing, but will probably be in the market Now if
the present fine weather continues of which there every
appearance, may be confidently stated that abun-
dan harvest will be gathered throughout all Europe 1t will
follow, therefore, that although the requirements of Europe
will be immense, the supplies taking into consideration the
abridged means OF the people purchase will be correspond
ing and any excess the wants Of consumption will tend
to reduce prices in greater proportional degree than in
mere arithmetical ratio"
