Reuup Of The Brush Cms Iraae We have
now arrived al peri ID OF The year when, under
ordinary circumstances, The trade usually be.
com IS dull; farmers having 10 provide for their
Christmas rents, &c, generally supply the market
literally 10 December, and m:fchants and millers
are, perhaps less inclined To add 10 their stocks
about this period than al any other time during
the whole year.
Under these circumstances il is not improba-
BILE that temporary reaction 10 d moderate ex-
tent may occur in prices; but we must 'ntcss
that we do not n ,ch expect anything like re-

growers have mol been On 50 lioeaI scale since

BY our adv ces from Scotland, we earn that a
considerable quantiy o snow had fallen, and
that Inc frost had been severe Outdoor work had

LONDON GRAIN Market Dec. 7-During las
week The arrivals OF English Wheat Barley anc
Oats for our market coaslwise, Were on yer,
extensive scale, but large portion Of The former
article went direct 10 the hinis VI millers. The
Imports of foreign Wheat and Flour were only
moderate.
Flesh 40 this day The receipts of English wh.a
coastwise. as we'll as by land carriage and sam
pie, were seasonabv good, and OF fair average
qualify. N,twiths arding the actual quantity o
WHEAT OF home produce on oier was large, ihs
trade with that article was oy no means So neavJ
as might have been expected arising chiefly from
many Of the large mil'ers being rather snort o
stock. STILL however, the sale must be consider
ed inactive, al barely, bu; a, nothing quotab!e te
meath the currencies obtained on this day SEN
night
Very little Indian Corn on show, aud as much
a. Gas per Or. was paid for very superior lot Of
American.
We were bv no means heavily supplied with
free foreign Wheat. Selected parcels Of boh red
and white moved of e Oily al full last weeks
prices, but all other quiili were mere drug,
though We cannot Cd them lower
In Corn under lock. we have few sales 10 re-
port In the currencies no alteration took place
The Flour trade was dull, yei prices were sup.
ported.
