From the London uazettc, July 49,
The weather has not been altogether favorable
since this day week for the outstanding crops the
nights having ut times been cold as nearly to
approach to frost; and though wheat does not
hibit any symptoms of having been injariously
Affected, and the reports from the agricultural dis.
tricts tho whole Of satisfactory character,
still it cannot be doubted that the want of genial
warmth has tended to create feeling Of uneasiness
regarding the future, which, together with the
shortpess of the deliveries from the growers, has
had the effect of checking the downward movement
in prices. At some OF the large consuming towns
in the north an advance Of Is. per quarter has
even been established, and unless we have more
settled weather, the value Of the article will
probably undergo some further improvement. At
the same time there is evidently little confidence
in an ultimately higher range Of prices, and few
parties seem dispose to into speculative in
vestments That the stocks Of breadstudS remain
ing on hand together with what may yet DO re-
ceived from abroad will prove quite sufficient to
satisfy the consuwptive demand up to harvest, if
nothing should occur to give rise to alarm, is now
generally acknowledged A portion of what was
bought in June az the near continental ports has
already come forward, hut from the more distant
parts I'LL Q mas YET reacneQ 10 Afford notion
OF the effect produced abroad by the rise which
then took place in our markets, may state that
the quantity Of wheat shipped from Dantzic was
nearly as great in that month as the whole Of
what was exported from thence from the beginning
Of the year to the end Of May, the latter having
in round numbers amounted to 81 100 ors., and the
former to $4,000 qrs Large orders were at the
Same time sent out to Odessa, Galatz, Sc, for
the purchase of wheat and Indian corn, and con-
siderable parcels of the latter article and -four
were also bought in America, On British account
There is, consequently, proba bty ofscarcityf
our crops turn out only moderately produ ,tive
The reports from France Of very contradictory
character, hut, the whole, there is to be-
Heye that the y eld OF wheat will be less in that
country than it as last year. and that the exports
OF flour will, therefore, be comparatively small
prices are at present relatively higher there than
with us, and no shipments are being made for Eng
land, except in cases where contracts previously
entered into had still to be fulfilled Owing to the
fact that larger stocks Of foreign wheat are held in
tho port of London than elsewhere, the trade for
that article has aimed more depressed in the
tropolitan than in the provincial markets: and
whilst, as already remarked, reaction in
prices has occurred in the country, the down.
ward tendency has continued at Mark lane. On
Monday, with a small show Of samples Of wheat,
by land carriage from the home counties,
considerable difficulty was experienced in obtain
ing the rates current that day se'nnght.
The Essex stands were telerably we'll cleared with
out giving way, but some quantity Of Kent wheat
Itmalned undisposed of, though factors would have
acceded to a reduction Of Is. per quarter. There
was no improvement in the demand on Wednesday,
and this morning buyers were enabled to purchase at
s'piar terms to those current in the commencement nt
OF the week, notwithst: ndiDg the prevalence ofa
somewhat frmer feeling The arrivals of wheat
from abroad have been less than in any preceding
week for some time past, but there has been no
want OF offers from grapary, and the town mile
having conducted their operations with much eau
ton, the supply has proved amply sufficient for the
demand. The country inquiry has not, at any Pc
riod, been active, and the transactions have alto
gether been on retail scale; importers have, how
ever, refrained from pressing sales and quotations
have undergone little change since this day SEN
night Good qualities OF red have been held at
1Qs. to 2s. fine at lbs to Ds., and Danzic at from
Us. up to J0s per quarter These rates. it may be
observed, are very little higher than the price, ask
ed free board at continental ports. Scarcely
anything has been done floating cargoes Of wheat,
and the fact just referred to Is sufficient to account
for the want Of activity in free on board operations
Flour has. notwithstanding the falling oil in the
coipts from France, been difficult to quit; neither
English foreign has, however, been offered lower
| than before and the stocks Of the latter on the
whsrves gradually diminishing. In the absence
ofsupplies. and with scarcely any dsmand for home
grown barley, its value may be regarded as perfect
y nominal at present, and little business is likely
to be done until the produce shall have become
available. From abroad continue to receive fair
supplies. which 60 into fer grinding pur-
poses. Since this day week the dcmand has been
steady, and no change requiring notice has taken
place in prices Malt has moved oin retail at sim

past, ard the greatest point OF depression appears
