British Corn Trndcs


Another weeks more favorable weather has
shown it's effects on the growth Of the young
Wheat, which, in many places, is fast recover
, ing. But the hcayY lands still have too much
wet, 60 tbat the sowing Of spring corn has been
somewhat hiudered. The March winds hare
further improved the condition Of samples, aud
this has given more impetus to the late upward
tendency Of prices. Still the advance has not
exceeded 1s to Is per qt., md some markets
have been unaltercd.
More confidence generally obtains, with d.
minution Of stocks and light foreign arrivals;
and AS the slightest improvement in this coun-
try produces more than IN equivalent advance
abroad. there seems no great prospect Of large
imports with the opening season. The couti-
mental markets hare been mostly steady or dear
er; but the French and Swiss prices hare f1uc-
tuated. In the Baltic ports they have been firm,
and Dantzig hus again. reported higher rates; as
hare the Belgian and Dutch markets; but the
late improvement at Odessa has been check
upon sales.
In America there hns again been all advance
both in wheat and -four; and, notwithstanding
The late rise, no margin is left for profitable
shipment to this country. Some extensive pur-
chases of Baltic Wheat hare just been made for
spring delivery, and the week has closed more
cbeeriully thnu since last Christmas. With the
uncertain, issue of European politics there is
yet room Tor considerable Improvement 4 de-
cree has appeared in the Giorna< d; Roma per-
mitting the free import Of foreign grain and
meal into the pontifca1 States.
900 qrs at 45s 3D., against ~, ,276 qrs. in 1853.
The London averages were ASS. on 4,497 9rs.
The imports into the principal ports Of Great
britain, for the week ending March 14th, in
Wheat and Flour, were equa. 10 1880 qrs Of
Wheat.
