FOREIGN CORN MARKETS.

THE steady state of the corn trade in this country during the last three months, and the gradually declining duties, with the comparatively trifling stocks of grain in the hands of the merchants as well as the farmers, have all tended to keep up the prices on the continent; and, consequently, the importations, which will be considerable, would require to meet a low duty to save the speculators from loss; and, indeed, unless they can be relieved at the nominal rate of 1/ quarter, very little good will result from the heavy investments.

Very large orders were transmitted to all the continental ports, and already several arrivals have taken place from the lower Baltic. The quality of the wheat from these parts is very bad indeed, with scarcely any exception, the general run weighing only from 54 to 55 lb.; and it is lean, shrivelled, much sprouted, and, indeed, such as in ordinary years would be nearly unsaleable. About 100,000 quarters have already reached London; but the subsequent importation will be more gradual, as the same inducement for dispatch no longer exists. From the state of the averages for the last two months, it was sufficiently clear, that the duty would recede to the minimum rate, and then advance for a time. The shippers have been rewarded for their activity and exertion, as already the duty has reached 6/8, at which rate it may continue for some weeks, before it recede to the lowest rate again. As the quantity, however, of British wheat in the country is small, and what remains being of an improved quality, from the better condition it has acquired, we are disposed to think that the averages may keep very steady for a time, and rather advance than otherwise, so that in a few weeks we may probably find the aggregate average regulating duty advance to 73/, the point at which importation is admitted at 1/.

Barley has kept extremely steady in all the continental markets, arising from the certainty that the duty would remain for six or eight weeks together at 1/quarter. This is to be accounted for, from the excessive demand for malting barley which we have had all the season, and the comparative high prices paid for such, thus keeping up the average, though the lower kinds were of comparatively small value. The importations of barley have consequently been large, about 50,000 quarters having already been imported; but as the foreign qualities rarely answer the purposes of the brewer, little good has resulted to the speculator.

The duty on oats has kept high, and the prices abroad have consequently been comparatively low, which has induced much speculation in Archangel qualities at 11/, 12/, and 13/ free on board there. As our stocks get low here, we should not be surprised to find the averages advance, so as to meet the views of the importers of this grain very favourably. The importations, however, will take place at a ticklish moment. About the close of July, the first ships will be dropping in, and prices will then be very much regulated by the state of the weather and prospects of the coming season. The near port of Riga presents a better chance in point of time of

arrival, but the prices there are generally 3/ quarter higher. Such generally arrive about the middle of June.

We shall now give a general account of the trade and prospects in the various continental ports, as extracted from the advices which we have from time to time received, during the last three months.

HAMBURGH. There has been a brisk demand for wheat here during the season for British account, as well on the spot as on contract, to be shipped from the Upperland, on the re-opening of the navigation.

Much has also been done in rye for consumption and speculation, and prices have been kept high as will appear from our quotations. Barley and oats, too, have been in constant demand, chiefly by contracts deliverable in spring on the Danish Islands. Pease have also been much inquired for, and considerable quantities taken for English account. To give some idea of the extent of export from this place, we give a comparative state of quantities shipped during the last five years of wheat, rye, barley, and oats.

COPENHAGEN AND the Danish IslES.-The article which has principally attracted attention here is barley, and great business has been done in it for British account, at prices rating from 19/ @ 21/ as in quality.

The quality of all grain is inferior, and little has in consequence been done for English account, or exported otherwise, except in barley, as stated

ROSTOCK.-Here the qualities have been better than in Denmark, and consequently have attracted attention from speculators, particularly in wheat and pease, in which much business has been done. The wheat generally weighs about 55 or 56 lb., and has been taken at prices rating from 52/ to 54/, and up to from 57/ to 60/ for the better kinds. Barleys have brought throughout the season, from 22/ to 24/; Oats 17/to 18/; Rye 33/ to 35/; Pease 31/ to 33/.

KONIGSBURG. The wheat shipped from this quarter is of a quality very similar to what we receive from Dantzig, and this year a considerable busi
