The Corn Trade of Europe.
From the Mark Lane Express, Aug so, P. MI
A very decided Improvement has taken place in
tho weather since our last, and the anxiety previous
~ felt in regard to the outstanding corn has been
in grent measure alayed. Monday was very fine;
on Tuesday and Wednesday rain fell in some parts
Of tho country, but it was not general the wind
has since shifted to the eastward, and having been
favored with drying breezes and hot sunshine, consi-
aerable progress has been made the last few days
with the cartfng Of corn. The favorable change has
some very epporunely for the harvest in the ortiz
and should there be no return of wet, the crops in
the more backward districts would certainly give
better yield and be Of finer quality than those of the
South. 1t is as yet too early to form any thing
like an estimate as to the general result, but there
is reason to believe that in most Of the Southern
parts Of the kingdom the deficiency will be very So
rious. The samples of new wheat and barley hither-
TO brought forward ut the different markets have af
forded undoubted proof Of the inferiority Of the
quality. The wheat is for the most part Of a lean
berry and light in weight, and many samples are
badly srroutod. The barley is dscolored, and not
free from sprouted grains. The reports Of the yield
10 the where tho crops have been put to the test
ofthrahipg, likewise very unsatisfactory, ard we
much feac that tho season will prove most disas-
trous to the farmer. very large proportion Of the
corn has pnquestionably been carried in bad con-
dition, ard much will not DO fit for use for consi
derable time TO come. Whether prizes will undergo
a sufficient Improvement to compensate the grower
some measure for the sho7tnes5 of the yield viii
Gepend principally on the extent Of the foreign ar
yals that 20 great confidence is felt this point
manifested by the altered tono OF the trade. a
ew days Of fire settled weather has sutced TO check
the disposition to purchase wheat, and the activity
~ hch prevailed ia the early part OF the month has
Seen succeeded this week by calm. Meanwhile Il
IS acknowledged on al hands that the mischief done
BY blight, iidew, aul the prevalence ofwct tho rst
three weeks ia August has nG5 boon exaggerated ;
