Mr.. De Bow will please hereafter direct the
Review to cur address ria Montgomery, Ala.
ksy A correspondent of the Charleston Cour-
rier, writing from Columbia under late date,
says that the Bill appropriating $75O,OOO to the
Blue Ridge Railroad, will in all probability pass.
EGg- The New-York Shipping List of the
Sd inst, says:
sour Flour and grain market continues ami
mated; and judging from the latest accounts
from abroad, and our present supplies, prices
are not likely to rule lower during the Winter.
Operators watch the course of the European
markets with great interest, as apart from the
direct influence which the increased movement
in breadstuffS exercises on the prosperity Of the
agricultural interests, it becomes important to
estimate the remote effect on the Money market
- - - rI1i--A El I - Er----
thinks the deficiency in the supply of Wheat in
England France and other European countries
has not been exaggerated, and that a still high
er range of prices during the Winter is proba-
bic. 1t anticipates great interruption of bnsi-
ness from the usual Grain marts, in conse-
quence of the Eastern war; that, after the arri-
walls of the cargoes of Wheat now on their way,
the Inadequate supplies will be more sensibly
felt and that all the surplus of the United
States will be required 1t appears from a
statement published in the same paper, that out
of 3,S0l Z 43 cwt, of Flour imported into Great
Britain, in nine months. the United States have
supplied 2,3S9,263 cwt., France supplying $685.
053 cwt., and the British colonies 232,492 cwt.,
being the only countries worth naming as COM
petitors; and of other articles the statistics are
equally significant. OF Wheat, 773,507 quar-
tiers were received from Russia, S72, no from
Prussia and 434,S64 from the United States.
Of the other Grains, including Corn, Barley,
Oats and Rye, to the total of 3,322,537 quar-
tiers, of which l,409,063 was composed of Ind-
an Corn, and this imported mainly from the
Danubian Principalities, France, the United
States and Russia. The fact that the United
Statas is able to compete with other countries
in supply of Breadstuffs is pretty clearly de-
monstrated by the above figures"
