A Cohoes, N. Y, dispatch of March
80, says the striking operatives Of Harmony
mills, have appointed committees to visit
Eastern manufacturing cities to solicit aid.
Distress has already manifested itself among
the extreme poor, and the city department for
indigents is overwhelmed with applications
for orders. 1t is rumored Harmony mills have
agents in Canada gathering families together
and that at the expiration Ofthirty days notice
to vacate their tenements an influx of the
French working classes will begin. This peo-
PIE is regarded here as the Chinese are on the
Pacific coast. Several families, numbering
thirty persons are occupying rooms intended
for one small family. Tables are converted in
to beds at night, and their seats are chests in
which their goods are stored. Their food is
of the coarsest quality, and their garments of
homespun gray.
The Mark Lane Express, March 30th,
says: The weather has been favorable, and
the crop prospects are better than for years
past Only few weeks more of such weather
will secure rich development of all agrieul
tural product. Favorable weather has also
produced marked improvement in the con-
duct of English wheat brought to market. but
nothing could improve the quality which in
most cases is wretched. Deliveries have been
meagre and the total seasons crop offered to
date Is SOO,O00OO0 quarters less than the cor
responding period last year. Holders are very
firm and the advance of a shilling is recorded
at several important country markets. The
improvement, however, has not been felt at
all at any of the markets where the quanti-
ty of sound native wheat offering is
so small that the attention of millers is direct
ed almost exclusively to foreign. In the face
of rapidly diminishing stocks and unusually
light arrivals decidedly improved consump-
tive demand has been experienced for var
ieties of foreign wheat but only at former
prices, any inclination on the part of headers
to raise these pretentions having been resisted
by buyers. The operations of mtllers at the
beginning of the week were on a somewhat
extensive scale, probably due to the fact that
with arrivals of the Easter holidays, two
market days would be lost and so, while carry
ing out their reserved policy of hand-to-mouth
purchasers, freer buying for time become
necessary. With regard to the future the posi-
ton remains unchanged. America clings to
her reserves in spite of the lower tendency
of prices of New York and little encourage
ment from this side, but it must be admitted
improbable she may be rewarded ere long
with some measure of success. A noteworthy
feather of last weeks imports was the large
proportion in which arrivals from Germany
figured out. Out of the total supply of 37,6S7
quarters, 81, 100 quarters were from German
ports, fact of considerable significance as
indicating the willingness of nations who have
wheat TO spare and are not au fait at the for
nation of rings to send their produce to Lon
don to present rates. The maize supply on
spot is practically nil, and quotations conse-
quently nominal. There is little near at hand
and the tendency of prices continue
upward, but buyers are extremely
chary of buying for future shipments as
present prices are far too high to warrant
such operations with the American large
crops in the back ground. Oats improved six
pence to a shilling per quarter, supplies being
unusually light, and in the present scarcity of
maize any reduction in the value of feeding
stuffs is unlikely. Sales of English wheat the
past week 27,197 quarters at ATS per quarter,
against AZ, ,23l quarters at 40s Sd per quarter
the corresponding week last year. Imports
into the United Kingdom the week ending the
20tn inst, 691, ,32S hundred weights wheat,
1852, ,O56 hundred weights -four.
