vices of more cargocs being on the way, combined
with the accounts from Liverpool to 9th March, per
"Antcopc' steamer, of decline of 6s.a7s. per bril-,
have rendered the market quite nominal, and al
though the Bakers are but moderated supplied, they
show disposition TO buy even at reduced prices
We can hardly expect the present rates TO be
maintained, unless there should be an unexpected de-
mand for the South, which is not probable

scarce otherwise prices would probably advance still
more.
Some small parcels of new coffee have arrived,
but no abundance can be expected for 8 or weeks;
the crop promises to be OF good quality and equal to
the last in quantity. The total export in April was
10000 bags, of which 35O22 bags went to the United
States.

GRAIN AND COTTON CROP.

Pestcrn Maryland Hheat Crop.-The Hagers-

COMMERCE OF THE LAKES.

The leading article on the next page is worthy of
attention; and, viewed in proper light, discerning
eye can perceive that had proper measures been
timely pursued, Baltimore might now have been pro-
filing By tho transactions 4ofted The following
article is not inappropriate here at this time:
ActiUity Of the Lake IIdde.--It will be seen by
the annexed statement from the (Clcaveland) Ohio
PlaindeaLcr that Notwithstanding the unusually large
supplies of Breadstus that have already reached the
ports, immense quantities are still pressing for
ward for a market from the far West, while the
season for harvesting crop is near at hand.
1t is estimated that Saturday last the 22d inst.
there arrived in this city, by teams and canal over
10000 bushels Of Gram. (This estimate includes
the flour reduced to bushels.) letter from Massl-
Ion says: "Gong to Canton the other day, met, in
travelling four miles, eightyscven wheat teams,
most of them carrying about 100 bushels Friday
last there arrived in Masson, and sold from wagons,
20 900 bushels, and have had many such days of
late Yesterday 100 wheat teams passed through
Canton before breakfast and by six hundred had
passed through Wheat comes here from within
four miles Of Mansfield. Half million bushels Of
Wheat have been cleared at the Collectors Office
within one month. Receipts for tolls during the
same time, 81 5,000-half the amount of any former
year." &c.
At nearly all the points on the canal we hear of
similar movements Little Milan up the lake, boasts
of train Of teams, three miles long, pouring the
Wheat into that As yet there is abatement.
The cry is still it The warehouses over
flowing Our outdoor docks arc also occupied to
their utmost capacity. Buffalo is ovcrrun that her
orwardcrs refuse TO receive more, and have sent a
request to this port not TO send it forward. The

comprised about 200 lbs, mostly of the new clip,

IJJugo.-Heavy rains had fallen, but the crop was
expected to exceed that OF last year; and the pros
poets for 1913 very encouraging.
DOminicd.-Thc weather had been very favorable
'The present CROP" the Colonist says, sis much
better than was expected some months since; and
will, with few exceptions, where the late heavy
rains have in urcd the growth of the canes, be fully
good as last year, if not somewhat better. The
planters very anxious TO have the crop rcapcd
before the wet season commences. NextyearS crop
presents very encouraging appearance.
Grenada.-Ihe Chronicle publishes the following
article the crop and the weather: owe graft
fed to learn that the present crop promises TO exceed
the expectation previously entertained OF by even
the most sanguuc, and bids fair to be nearly double
that Of last year. 1t is at present, but half reapcd
and understand that upwards of eighty hogshcads
have already been made on one or two properties,
which did not ship half that number last year. The
increase will be general; although perhaps, not IN
the same proportion, 10 the same extent, as the
case we have noticed. 1t is, however, confidently
expected that the total crop of sugar, this year. will
be from nine TO ten thousand hogsheads. Last year
it did not reach six thousand.''

Commercial Difficulties in Engtand.-The mon :
tary crisis in England described as really appalling
In Parliamentary debate the 10th inst, MIR. T.
Barring in alusion to the pressure in commercial at
fairs attributed the TO the limitation upon the
powers of the Bank. Money, he said, could not be
obtained by the most solid houses on the most I'M
doubted sccurity-and for the smallest sums on any
security whatever. And why? Because the Bank
by its charter was deprived Of the power of making
advances Yet there had been no over trading. The
manufacturers had been discreet; and yet the COM
mercc of Liverpool was fettered, and the trade of
Manchester was paralyscd. The greatest sacrifices
had been made to sustain credit The country had
exported, say seven millions in gold, and the proper
ty of the country had been deprecated at least one
hundred millions in value.
The London Times upon the same subject dis
courses thus "Thc people of Great Britain must be
fed during the next three months with American
