PRICE OF BREADsTUFF. Upon COMPARE
SOD ofquotations Of prices last October with
those of the present month, when crops we're
very deficient, it will be seen that -four is some
what lower, wheat about the same, and corn
and rye higher. The receipts Of grain al our
markets this season show d great increase npon
those of last year, except only Of corn There.
is no such deficiency, therefore, in the supply Of
wheat as that which caused the high prices Of
the past year.
1t appears, however, that the wheat crop in
France has fallen off, and that Of Engla will
be twenty per Ct below the average.
England, France. Belgium, Spain, and AL
geria are importing breadstufs. Russia, Tur-
key, and Egypt will, it is said, have fair aver
age crops; but, taking Europe asa whole, the
harvestis thought to be rather short. " -.
The price of breadstuffs in this country will
continue high for a year to come, for all our
supplies will be required for expectation, and
the price of -four at Liverpool will regulate
that at New York. 5.@<@ 80
ltappears BY the latest advices from Eng
land, that the price Of breadstuffs there is ex-
pected to rise rather than to decline. Nat Int.
