Tho probability Is that considerable pro-

zero, that Old wheat will for some time, command

lion whether good qualities will give way, even if
fress tor uneasincss should hereafter arise
in reference 10 the harvest. Whether the rise will
be long msintniaed, will, Of course, depend in q
great measure ca the extent of the importations
from abroad. We believe that good stocks are still
held in tho Baltic but holders the other side viii
not be e.cE TO take advantage Of our necessities
and in proportion as it becomes evident that Great
Britain viii require to import, so will prices rise
abroad. Under the old system this country was

Hitherto cp-lpal,tiyey little speculation has taken
place, HI to rrincpal milters, who had, during
the fne ~sa'Ser in July (under the impression that
the hs-,a. would be abundant), worked their
stocks up sAtaeT closely, have deemed it prudent to
prcpere themselves in some measure for the altered
prospects There has, consequently, been a good
demand fer wheat throughout the week; and the
supplies brought forward by the growers having

Other articles have participated in the upward
movement, and the idea OF a very low range OF
prices appears to have been quite abandoned.
We have endecyored to obtain as accurate infor-
stcn possible respecting the state Of the potaoe
crop, and are sorry to say that the accounts become
from dsy to day increasingly unfavorable. In Ire

counties has, while, been triiiing. On Wednes.
day, the Essex and Kent stands were completely
bare, and there were hardly any offers from the east
coast. The morning being very wet, more anxiety
was maniicsled by the mers to buy, and previous
prices were exceeded by Is. per Or. Tho continued
rain throughout Thursday, and the important rice
which took place in consequence at some Of the pro-
vncial merkets, induced sellers on Friday to insist
