per quarter, and some Western canal -four at
2ls. Sd. to 23s Cd. per barrel, but the trans
actions were generally unimpoItant.
The above is the result of yesterdays mar
ket, and shows serious decline in the price
of breadstuffs. A panic has decidedly taken
place, accelerated by the gradual downward
tendency of the late London markets, the
highly favorable state of the home crops and
the stiffness of the money market.
In the London corn market, on Monday, a
reduction upon wheat of S. to los. per ar
took place. We have no quotations to give
of Yesterdays transactions.
