OF these quantities Great Britain took s7j barrels of
Flour and 9l1551 bushels of Wheat We msy add that
this diminished ratio Of shipments appears likely to
tinue till the navga OF the Canals repeud unless
regards Flour, the shipments from New 0reans should
make up the deficiency from The northern ports In the
snme time the price Of Flour has advanced in Liverpool
from 3ss I'd to 43s. Cd stg, and here from 81 30 60
while ireghts have not varied materially We have al
ready attempted to show the causes that have prod ID
this anomalous state Of things and how It is that the
United States with very abundant harvests f nj the
most critical moment to supply the necessities of Europe
For the first time since free trade in Corn has existed in
Great Britain, simultaneous deficient Wheat crops have
occurred both there and on the Continent Hence when
English buyoTe have sought in the markets of the United
States to supply the deficiencies of their own harvests
they have been met by strong rivalry from buyers for
France and Belgium, and the action of the French Gov
eminent secured early Tor s own population large share
Of what English buyers have been accustomed to antic
pate for themselves This double drain exhausted
the stocks of Wheat remaining here at the close of nay
CATION ard seriously diminished those Of Flour and then
aroee the active competition Of our home trade, which
during the past three weeks has raised the price of Flour
beyond what shippers generally disposed to risk
end with our present light stocks which are far from be-
ING sufficiently replenshed by the lines of communication

tory state of affairs will continue until the spring

We see by Tie Cae.aAah Gazette of the ID in., b,,
final contrsct has been duly entered into and yped nv
which the Marietta and Cincinnati and the Cincinnati and
HsborouGh Railroads have become united by which all
the advantages of consolidation had by the respective
roads This contract recommended by large ma
Ijor.y Of the shareholders OF each
The Marietta Road is rapidly progressing to completion
This contract Of consolidation VIII doubt prove wise
one as The making Of parallel roads in that par; Of
Ohio at cost Of five millions each, would sem to be
absurd.
