The Markets have been unsettled this week.
The price Of good wheat at Elkton yesterday
was 81. G5. We learn that wheat was dcliy-
here within few days for which s :, IL was
paid under agreement made before harvest.
The Same wheat has since been sold for
Sl.55.
In Baltimore the latest quotations are l. 20
to l.S0 for white wheat and go to 10 for
rcd. Flour was $3.50 to 80: Corn was
bringing from 9G to l04 cents according to
quality; Oats, new 10 to As cents, old Sc
cents;
In Wilmington wheat was about Sl.75;
Flour 3.25,to So; Corn .$l.00; Few oats
30 cts;
The news by the Atlantic shows decline
OF br,adstniis in England. Corn had fallen
) to shilling Per quarter of $50 lbs.

TlfE CROPS AND THEIR EXPORT. The ex-
port movement in new wheat has commenced
several freight engagements having been
made at New York with day or two. As
the receipts increase tho outward movement
will we large. The Tribune learns from par
tics Connected with the foreign trade that very
large PREF aratons have been made by means
ofcredits upon European banking houses for
the purchase of brcadsuls and provisions
during the coming season. If our markets
do not maintain too high figure, England
and the continent will take all our surplus
brtadstutls at fair prices. The arrangements
made for purchasing we are told are larger
than ever before. The shipment of -four and
wheat to Great Britain and Ireland thus far
this season (sincc September !, 1851 are
very inconsiderabe compared with the pre-
viouS.vcar, having been only I40, 900 barrels
-four against 1900 600 and eo3 900 bushels
wheat against 5,S46,O00. Corn shows an
increase of about 300, 900 bushels during the
same period. The prospects now are, how
ever, that shipments of all descriptions OF
brcadstulis will BIO largely increased. The
arrivals al tide water in New York this sea-
son show a decrease of Cos, 232 bbls of -four
l ,001 ,2SG bushels wheat, and an increase of
3,l35,95l bushels corn as compared with
1905, and decrease OF To-, Joy barrels flour
and 90, S4 bushels wheat and an increase
of |, $50, 900 bushels corn as compared with
1854.
As connected with tins subject, and indicst-
ing what all abundance there may be spared
for export, we may state That n leading
house in Cincinnati issued circular some
time sinceto their western correspondents,
asking for information upon the subject of
the crops. The result has been the following
highly favorable report: az '-'.'
"Thcrc is small strip Of country in cen
