MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

The Northwestern farmers who have been
re CRYING their wheat for better prices, it is
said cannot much longer hold on, as necessity
will compel them to yield. This will .consid-
erably increase the grain movement, but will
probably not enlarge the bulk in our own
ports, as all accounts agree that foreign ship
ments will be more active. These remarks ap-
ply also to corn. A small advance in wheat
ruled in the large exchanges last week.
In Fauquier comfy, Va, there is cnnsid<
cradle trade at certain seasons in cattle. The
following statement OF transactions are re-
ported from Warrenton on the LIST instant. No
