Eerel-n Market for Eresd,rnfr..

We copy the report Of the Mark Lane Express Of
the 10th October-thC highest authority in Europe
for the Grain market Ii explains the causes of the
depression in the market, which existed at its date
The money market tight, and large importauOnS
from the Baltic had lust come to hand But i; gives
us to understand that advance might be expected
and that advance did take place within the next few
days. Those who will read that article atcntiycy
WILL think for believing, that the pr,
of wheat will not probably fall below the present fig
urc, while it may rise much higher. The present
price is independent of war; it is owing to tie short
crop, which exists throughout the greater part OF Eu
rope War may give animation to the market hut
the price, without war; must be as high people are
sbe pay. Their ability will constitute the only
limit to the price of wheat. Notwithstanding this,
may expect iumorS, the arrival of every steam
err, of deprcSsionS in the Grain Market.
