The continuance Of brilliant Septem-

There has been very little change IN the
wheat markets generally, which, with

FRENCH GRAIN MARKETS.
Retained as home by the autumn field
work, the farmers have refrained from
attending the market in the u sual num-
bers: and besides-for it is unnec essary
to dissimulate-the present prices are
not calculated to attract deliveries OF
grain. The greater part of that offered
consists of inferior and moist wheat, oi
