The European Corn Trade.

The Official account OF the importatons OF grain,
pulse, and -four into the United Kingdom, during
the month ending 9Th inst has just been pu pushed
This statement does not show the falling oil in the
supplies of foreign produce, which, from the posi-
ton Of the trade, and the fact that prices have tor
a considerable iime been relatively lower 10 TINS
country than on the continent, might have been
expected The total arrivals of all kinds of corn
aud pulse have amounted to 49,, 09l quarters; ana
more than half of this large supply (viz. 4JO,0OO
quarters) has consisted OF wheat; in addition TO
which 5i2 3i4 cwts. of foreign manufactured Hour
have been received Since the expiration OF the
period embraced in the return, the receipts have
inclined to think that decrease will now take
place The wind has lately been favorable
for vessels on passage from the north OF Europe
and, the shipments from the Baltic have,
throughout the present and during part OF last
month"; been comparatively small, the probability is
that the arrv ais from that quarter will (at least for
a time) he more moderate. As 10 az. n,ay Ce On
passage from ports lying east OF Gibraltar, we are
not prepared TO speak positively. The aggregate
quantity of Polish Odessa, Danube, NC, sold TO
arrve has not bee inconsidcrabe during the last
month or two The purchases have been princi-
pally made for Irish account, and the bulk OF the
supplies from thence will most likely go TO the SIS
ter isle; there is, consequently, reason 10 oeieve
that the English markets VIII be rather moderately
supplied in November with foreign corn, and as the
deliveries from our own growers will, also, we
think be lees liberal than of late, we are disposed
10 adhere TO the opinion we have on former occa-
sions expressed. VIZ. that wheat Will probably

The wheat trade has maintained a firm tone
since last, but there has not been any increase
of activity purchasers having in general been con-
| tented to take just so much as needed for imme-
| diae use, and no more. Farmers appear, how
ever, TO have determined TO hold on as long as
possible; and, till they are compelled 10 sell TO

Very little change had, IL appears, taken place in
the value OF wheat at the principal continental
markets since the date Of eur previous advices.
| The slight increase Of hrmness here IN the early
part Of the month had sufiiced to restore the comb.
ence Of the foreign merchants, and had prevented
any further decline taking place in prices. Mean
while the transactions appear TO have been on
strictly retail scale at most OF the markets In the
north of Europe
AZ Konipsberg, on the 2lst inst 4, the wheat trade
was firmer than on that day se'nnight, owing to
the English adyices being reg irded as more encou
raging. No advance on previous prices could, how
ever, be established and the transactions were al.
together unimportant. Mixed and red wheat, OF oil
