FOREIGN CEREALs.-The regular finan-
cial correspondent of the Bati more San,
writing from New York city last week,
says:
ssMr. Jesse sSeiiganan ,-ths banker, write 6
to his house here by the Cunard, which al
rived this morning, that there have been Sc
we're rains in the southern portion of Ger
many, from whence he dates his letter. and
that the wheat crop has suffered much in
consequence. AS result of this misfor-
tune he adds that Germany is likely to be a
liberal buyer of American cereals, and 9TH
er European countries will also very proba-
bly, be purchasers to a fair extent. This is
good news to America, and will add mi :
lions to the revenues OF the land, which, but
for this promised foreign demand, would be
lost.'

Flour and Grain Trade.


The New York Times OF the 10Th, in a
very interesting resume of the ssFall Trade
Prospects, after giving the opinion that
there need not be expected any unusual ac-
tivity in the dry goods trade, has the follow
ing paragraph on the flour, grain and pro-
vision trade
Already the extent of the flour and grain bust
ness of the Fall has been in dictated in the enor-
nous arrivals of grain and grain products IN the
City The promise last year was that an eXcel-
follow an abundant harvest. and that the pros,
perity of the farmers would be. shared by az
classes of business men. There was degree OF
disappointment at the result While crops were
enormous, there did not appear TO be a relatiVe
Improvement in trade. So, while the promise
of business is now about as good as il was last
year there is not the same disposition among
the Produce Exchange men to predict. Inc Iaf-
mers are generally we'll OIL except in the parts
of the North west that were visited by deStfuct-
i've storms but abundant crops are sold at low
prices, and they may dispose OF great deal more
grain and vet not be great deal richer at the
end of the harvest than they were when their
crops were not so large The provision trade
promises to be large and prohtaDe STEADY
increase in the consumption abroad OF American
butter and cheese continues, and the expectation
of live cattle and sheep furnishes new chan
mel for the disposal of much stock, and ameans
of recompense to stock farmers in different parts
of the country. The general impression, gained
from conversations with merchants was that
there would be more money made this year by
all classes of producers depending upon foreign
consumers than for several years past The year
has already been good one for one class OF
early and has continued to be as good all through
the season it was last year. Among prov1-
sion men the prospect for the Fall is good. The
lessons of past years are to be needed, and there
is no probabiitythat there will be any such over
loading of the market with pork lard that the
glut will react upon producers and spoil their
speculations. The epidemic of fever at the
South will. it is believed scarcely affect the pro-
