the prominent ports of clearance for foreign
giving extremely moderate ag-
gregates for this season-is viewed as decided
appear remarkably firm and confident, and
in no instance eager to realize at even the
very full rates new obtainable.
The grain market is giving evidence of vi
tality, and corn has still further advanced,
which is also firm at our quotations, Oats and
rye steady and unchanged.
The following report of the foreign grain
market is from the New York Daily Bulletin
of Tuesday:
PARIS, March 3l-Up to Tuesday evening the
weather was very bad, with a continual fall Of
rain. Since Wednesday the showers have
been less frequent. Yesterday was as fine as
possible for the season, and to-day presents
the same character. Farmers are in great
want of dryer weather to bring to a favorable
generally behindhand, except on some of the
light and sandy soils in the central plains.
Oats sowing is reported as somewhat forward,
to aud root crops. It is high time also TO
commence fax sowing In the north
ern provinces. 1t Ia much to be wished
bring more settled weather. On the whole ii
must be stated that the autumn s0wn cereals
continue con to look well Some Of the mel heidS In
with damage through foundations. In Aisne
the wheat is affirmed to be little discolored,
tricts the plant has lost its healthy, green APP
pearance, but these are exceptions which do
not affect the southeastern departments,
where on the contrary, the rain so eagerly de-
sired for the last two months has appeared
this se'nnight to reanimate the power of veg
citation. With respect to the grass lands they
are magnificent i'm aspect especially in Berry,
Marche, LimOusin, Perigord, etc. Farmers
have profted by the interval of sunshine
their field work, and from this cause, COM
bined with the religious observances, the mar
ke.s have been thinly attended, and certain
number in fact, were partially deranged.
PARIS, April 3.-The wheat plant, which is
beginning to suffer slightly in the low-lying
districts from excess of humidity, has been
much improved by the fine weather which
has prevailed since last Wednesday, and far
mers have equally taken advantage of the
sunshine to push forward their March SOW
ings.
GERMANY.
HAMBURG, March 3I.-Business is quiet, as
usual during the easter holidays. Prices OF
wheat, however, remain nrm, stocks In gener-
al being light; fine heavy qualities particular
ly are scarce and command high prices. For
barley there continues fair demand, and all
parcels offering on reasonable terms find
buyers.
HUNGARY.
PEsrH, March 3l.-The weather during the
past sunlight has been for the most part fine,
and only Interrupted now and again by pass
between % and 66 deg. F., and was, on the
whole, very favorable to vegetation. Spring
work is almost generally completed, such as
refers to potatoes, maize and rubSen, aud up to
the present time the condition of the cereal
crops is satisfactory. In the corn market
wheat has exhibited very firm tone, with the
manifestation of a good demand, and prices
improved on the week 20kr to 25kr for medium
and 15kr to 20 kr for fine descriptions. Rye
met with weak inquiry at unalteIed rates.
MOROCCO.
Advices from Gibraltar of the 2Sth uIt. an
nOunce that 1t is feared that the crops in the
interior of Tangiers, especially in the southern
provinces, will fail on account of the drought
which has prevailed for several weeks and
the price of wheat and other gram has risen
30 per cent.
From Casablanca, under date of 23d uIt., it
is reported that there had been four days of
welcome rain, which had just come in time,
as the growing crops had already begun to
suffer through drought, but more is still
wanted for the beans, and especially the peas
and the maize crops,which arenow beginEing
to shoot out of the ground.
The produce markets are fairly active, with
liberal receipts of butter, poultry and eggs.
Prices are weaker. The New York Daily
Bulletin of Monday says:
Eggs.-Receipts to-day 1854 bbls. The market
has been pretty well hammered during the
week. probably more than was really neces-
sary. x little demand, due in part to the very
unfavorable weather and quite full receipts,
were the main influences leading to this re-
suit, and holders have offered with great
freedom, especially as their advices led to the
impression that the shipments from the in
terror tended rathet toward an increase than
falling Off There was no great change on
quotations to-day, but the outside figures were
difficult to obtain.
