ending Saturday last, exceeded 100 900 quarters,
and since then 42, 800 quarters of wheat. barlev.

The custom house. That there will be a loss on
most most OF these consgnmenis we are fully aware;

recent accounts from abroad, il appears that ship

capaple OF carrying 1900 quarters had been char

than week, and frcm the near continental ports

from all parts of the kingdom agree in decribing
the appearance of the country as very promising
AT MaIk-lane we have had something very nearly
approaching panic. The receivers of the i'm

landing, and TO sell largely from on board they
find almost impossible Meanwhile our farmers
continue 10 hold back, and the receipts of Eng

our iast. The show OF wheat on Monday by land
carriage samples from the neighborng counties was
small but, influenced by the liberal receipts from
abroad, the mlllers refused TO pay. former

remark that very superior red keptish wheat,
weighing 63 ID. per bushel, was freely offered at

quarter below that rate since then prices have
remained nominaly unaltered. On Wednesday
hardly anything was done in English wheat, and
the transactions this morning not OF sufficient
Importance TO warrant any change IN quotations.
The decline in the value of foreign has been quite

purchasers have conducted their ,oPer.ti with
great caution. Red wheat has sold at prices vary

have ranged equally wide, some ordinary lots OF new

for most other purposes. In the latter a tolerable

the dull state of the barley trade, and It's value has
