Review Of the Corn Trade.
Prom the Msrk-lAne Express, OF July IS.
Supplies Of BreSisiu continue arrive freely from the
and Black Sea- but from other quarters the
receipts comparatively small The total import OF all
sind OF grain and pulse into the United Kingdom during
the month ending the 9Th inst amounted TO 4Ol qs.
Of which SSl,gS qrs, consisted OF Wheat the former,
and nearly the whole of the latter, being from ports East
Ut Gibraltar The supply Of Flour within the pc
Tod amounted S6e sI3 cwt, principally from America
The prevailing impression is, that the greater part of
the shipments made from the Black Sea previous the
commencement OF the Russian aud Turkish dispute ha.
reached cur shores and the uncertainty yt during
the last month or two 10 what turn Affairs nj yht take
In that quarter together with the clrcy OF vessels and
The very high freight, have had the effect

Meanwhile there Is reason TO believe hGt France will
not only be unable export Great Britain but she is
likely TO follow up the purchases lately made ia Eng
sh markets, and that not Uncomfortable quantity Of
the Black Sea Wheat which may hereafter arrive off
coast, will be ordered IN French ports The Goveinmcr
OF that country in order 10 facilitate the transit OF Grain
from hence, Just decrcsd dist Corn imported from
Great Britain British possessions under the Brit
tsh coor though the produce Of other countries, shall
be admitted into France the carried
in French bottoms This may be regarded indication
Of tn feeling existing there to the Instability Of OBJ
tanning supplies aud il il improbable that this
NAV b. followed by orders admit Corn free OF duty
French buyers have outbi the English in The Baltic
late aud this must tend TO lessen supplies from thence
Under these circumstances, aud keeping IN mind the
duced state Of the stocks Of foreign Whei; in this
try there does no: appear % De- much calculate

it Is possible that the evils may under the excitement
which prevails be somewhat exaggerated sill there j.
quite sufficient cause to warrant feeling Of uneaSness
The accounts about Potatoes also u1avoribc. That
disease has again attacked this crop be questioned
but It'll hope that the loss may prove serious
many Of the growers appear 10 apprehen1 The Lent
crops have suffered from the wet TO anything like

tat with fine weather Barley and Oats would give good
