REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. Up to Friday the weather of the past week was generally fine and sunny then came violent thunder- storms, with a quantity of rain, which was very much wanted for the spring corn and grass, as well as the fruit trees and all vegetation, so that rapid progress has been making, with more of promise than lately was held out. With such weather the forward Wheat will soon be in bloom, and the backward pieces that had lost colour will be likely to recover. In France the appearances are not uniformly good, some pieces of Wheat being thinned by the severity of frost, as well as Oats, and certain districts do not look for anything beyond an average produce. In the South, however, the blooming period is passing favourably. Such a forcing May was wholly unexpected, and therefore we have had a continual fall in prices, the bare idea of an early gathering disposing every one to sell out. We are therefore again 2s per qr. lower on the average, with but little business resulting as the consequence of the decline, and should large foreign arrivals pour in, a further depression may yet be felt. But as English supplies will be the criterion of our wants, these will be watched with the intensest interest. It is therefore worthy of note that at such a period of doubt and excitement our weekly deliveries should have sunk to 33,255 qrs., against 49,358 qrs. in 1867, and 57,969 qrs. in 1866 a pretty plain proof that prices have not been stimulated to their recent height by false alarm, whilst it is quite possible we might be in some danger from false security. Nearly three months are yet before us, and many mishaps may suddenly change the face of things. It is true, all the continent, and America as well, quote a lower range of prices but as the present arrivals from New York must lose money to face pre- sent prices, we may see a sudden check on exports in that quarter, that would have its ready effect here. The growing crops look well in America; but the only region which would be serviceable to us before our own harvest would be the small districts of the South, and these are still under oppression.

THE CORN TRADE. I There were good arrivals of foreign wheat &nd flour last week the other supplies were moderate. The extraordinary fine weather to-day nearly stopped all business. English wheat, 2,948 qrs; foreign, 27,525 qrs. There was a very short supply this morning from Kent and Essex, and, though factors would willingly have cleared at a reduction of 3s to 4s per qr., it was impossible to do so, from the shyness of buyers. The same stagnation nearly obtained in foreign, which was nominally 2s to 3s per qr. down. Country flour, 15.279 sacks; foreign, 2,818 sacks 4,932 barrels. With scarcely any demand for Norfolks, they were certainly fully Is to 2s cheaper to sell. Foreign sacks and barrels were offered at Is reduction. Town prices were expected to decline 4s to 5s. Maize, 2,976 qrs. This .N?laize, 2,976 qrs. This grain was dull, and Is lower. British barley, 50 qrs foreign, 3,433 qrs. Nothing was doing in malting sorts; and grinding were Is per qr. easier, with scarcely any demand. The malt trade was quiet, without change in prices. English oats, 357 qrs.; Scotch, 130 qrs; foreign 19,483 qrs. The best heavy fresh corn about maintained its former value, but low sorts were 6d lower. Native beans, 387 qrs foreign, 1,600 qrs. Business was very quiet, at Is less money. Home-grown peas, 30 qrs foreign, none. White peas were Is cheaper. Linseed, 5,937 qrs. Exports nil. The trade was very calm, and rates tending downwards. The seed trade was unal- tered as respects the value of cloverseed and trefoil with, however, scarcely anything doing. CURRENT PRICES OF BRITISH GliAIX AND FLOUR IN MARK-LANE Shillings per Qr.

COUNTRY MARKETS. CARMARTHEN (Saturday last.)-Since this day week we have had beautiful showers of rain, and the country is said to be everywhere radiant with fine crops. A moderate attendance at market, and a limited supply of corn. The Wheat trade was far from active, and sel- lers had to submit to further reduction- Is to 2s per qr. —to transact any business. Barley and Oats steadily supported last week's prices. Flour trade slow, at Is per sack decline. Wheat, 8s 3d to 9s per bush. of 64lbs; Barley, 3s 9d to 5s 6d per bush. of 541bs; Oats, 38 3d to 3s 4d per bush. of 401bs; Flour, 44s to 60s per sack of 2801bs. CARDIGAN (Saturday last.)—The weather, after being windy for a week, has turned up summer-like, though some rain would be very acceptable. Our market keeps on steady without varying from previous prices, viz.—Wheat 8s 9d to 9s 3d, Barley 5s to 5s 6d, Oats 3s to 3s 6d per bushel. FISHGUARD (Thursday last.) We have had a delightful change in the weather since last ,I eek, and the country has a lovely appearance. There was but a small attendance, and the prices of all sorts of grain were lower. Wheat, 8s to 8s 6d Barley, 4s 6d to 5s Oats, 2s 9d to 3s 6d per bushel. CARLISLE, 30th.-There was a small supply of all kinds of grain to-day, this being the hiring day, when many farmers are changing their servants. Wheat was in fair demand, and at a reduction of6d to Is per Carlisle bushel upon last week's prices barley and oats realized the prices current last week. Prices:—White wheat, 2.5s Gù to 29s red wheat, 25s to 27s barley, 16s to 17s 6d potato, lis to 12s 6d per Carlisle bushel. Flour, 2s to 2s lOd oatmeal, 2s 4d to 2s 6d ryemeal, Is 9d barleymeal, Is 8d per stone. DONCASTER, 30th.—The general depression of the corn throughout the country was again felt here to-day. Not much wheat was brought to market, but, notwith- standing a limited supply, there was little or nothing doing, and prices receded still further, fully 6d per load. The price of wheat is now from 25s to 27s fine, 2Js to 30s per load and millers have made a considerable reduction in flour. There is no barley trade to speak of, grinding samples passing off to a limited extent, at from 40s to 42s fine, 44s to 45s per qr. and oats were flat; new oats, 28s to 30s fine, 32s to 35s per qr. and old oats, 32s to 34s; fine, 36s to 38s ditto; other descriptions just as last quoted. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, 30th. The wheat and flour trade in the markets of the North-eastern towns has remained in an inactive state, and to make sales to a trifling extent in this town a further reduction of 2s per qr. and 2s per sack on wheat and flour respectively have had to be submitted to. At our market this morn- ing we had a moderate show of wheat from the growor:- as well as from the coast, but the arrivals from abroad were to a fair extent, and chiefly from the Black Sea. Fresh thrashed sampler were taken at a reduction of 3, per qr., and in the limited business done from the stands a similar concession was made, but there was less pres- sure than on Tuesday. Flour met little attention. Barley, beans, and peas were comparatively neglected. There were few inquiries for Scotch oats, but rather more demand for secondary sorts. NORWICH, 30th.—Our market was liberally supplied with wheat to-day, but, there being great apathy 011 the part of the buyers, the trade ruled dull at a decline of 3s to 4s per qr. from the rates of last Saturday. Little doing in other articles. White wheat, 73s to 76s red do., 64s to 68s per qr. Flour, 46s per sack. The past week has been fine and dry until yesterday, when we had refreshing rain, with a thunderstorm, but the want of rain is still much felt on some of the light lands. Averages Wheat, 1,140 qrs, 71s 4d. NOTTINGHAM, 31st.-We have had splendid weather during the past week, and the growing crops of wheat are looking remarkably well. The pastures have been much improved by the recent rains. At our corn market to-day the supply of wheat was limited, and a heavy feeling pervaded the trade. Prices receded 2s to 3s per qr. In barley there was hardly anything done, and prices may be written nominally unaltered. The demand for oats was quieter, and previous rates were difficult to support. Beans were not inquired after, and recent prices were barely obtained. Currency to the grower: —White wheat, 75s to 80s red, 68s to 72s; oats, 30s to 40s; beans, 50s to 54s per qr. Corn aver- ages for the week ending May 25 :—Wheat, 474t qrs, at 75s 4jd barley, 35s qrs, at 47s; oats, 25 qrs, at 36s per qr. GLOCESTER, :iOth.-Tho crops are looking very promising. The imports into Glocester this week embrace 2,000 qrs. of wheat from Dantsic, 5,700 qrs. of oats and 981 qrs. of barley, besides about 2,175 qrs. of Irish oats. Prices continue with a downward ten- dency, and wheat might have been purchased to-day at a fall of Is to 2s. per qr. on last Saturday's prices. English white wheat 9s., and red 8s. Gd. to 8s. 6d. per 62 lb. barley, 36s. to 37s per qr. Irish oats 28s. to 29s. per qr. beans, 6s. to 6s, 6d. per bushel peas, 6s. to 6s. 4d. per bushel. Last officials averages at Glocester:- Wheat £ 3 14s. 2d. beans, 12 10s per qr. KENT, 30th.—In all our markets this week prices have had a drooping tendency. At Maidstone on Thursday there was scarcely any demand, and quotations were from Is to 3s lower. At Canterbury this after- noon wheat samples came to hand freely, considering the short supply in the hands of the farmers. Business was most inactive, and to effect sales a reduction of 2s per qr. had to be submitted to. Grinding barleys met with a limited inquiry. Oats being scarce supported late rates. Beans and peas rather cheaper. Quota- tions :—White wheat, 68B to 74s red wheat, 58s to 68s barley, grinding, 38s to 40s oats, white, 28s to 34s black, 26s to 30s. Beans, 44s to 45s. Peas 45s to 46s per qr. Tares, 5s to 6s per bushel. MALTON, 30th.-The prospect of an early and bounti- ful harvest, made farmers offer wheat at a reduction, and the business transacted was at a further decline of 2s per qr. All spring corn, however, remained unal- tered. The imperial averages give.—Wheat, 256 qrs., at 69s 8d and oats, 42 qrs. at 26s showing the little trade passing. READING, 30th.—There was a very scanty show of samples of wheat in the Corn-Exchange to-day. So depressed was the trade that to effect sales holders were obliged to submit to a decline of 2s to 3s per qr even for the besV^qualities, and the reduction was greater for inferior sorts. Fine old white wheat was quoted at 75s to 79s intermediate, 72s to 75s; and inferior, 68s to 70s; best red wheat, 70s to 74s; intermediate, 66s to 70s; and inferior, 64s to 66s. There was very little in- quiry for barley, and prices ruled from 34s to 38s. The market for oats beans and peas was characterized by a general quietness, yet recent terms were obtained. Fine Poland oats 33s to 35s; Waterloo, 27s to 30s and Tar- tary, 24s to 28s. SOUTH WALES, 30th.—Since last report, notwithstan. ding the samples of wheat on offer prices have been of an improved description, a further reduction of 2s per qr. has taken place in both English and foreign, and millers and buyers continue to act with great caution. Barley has been in good request, and prices have a tendency to harden. The inquiries for Indian corn are not up to the average, and prices have a downward tendency. Beans continue firm. Oats scarce, prices having an upward tendency. Prices:—Old white wheat, 89 9d to 9s per 601b new ditto, 8s 6d to 8s 9d old red ditto, 8s 3d to Is 6d, inferior 7s; foreign white, 68s to 72s; and red ditto, 68s to 70s per 4961b.; barley, 37s to 38s, and in- ferior ditto, 35s per 4001b.; Old English beans, 6s 6d to 7s per bushel new ditto, 6s to 6s 6d foreign ditto, 45s to 46s per 4801b. Oats at previous quotatations. WILTSHIRE, 30th.-At Warminster-market to-day the attendance was small, but for the time of year, the supply of wheat was good. The demand was very quiet and sales could only be effected at a reduction of 2s per qr. The quotation was from 70s to 74s. Very little barley was offered, the quotation for which were 38s to 42s the qr. Oats sold much as before, prices being 28s to 32s. Beans and peas were in scanty supply, and in the few sales made prices showed no alteration. The range for beans was 50s to 56s the qr., and for peas 44s to 54s. Flour is selling at 52s to 53s the sack and bread at 16d the 81b. loaf.

THE CATTLE TRADE. I The arrivals of live cattle, &c., into the port of London the past week have been fair, the official Custom-house return giving ah entry of 1,874 beasts, 420 calves, 4,964 sheep and lambs, and 77 pigs, together making a total of 7,335 head. The total imports this year up to the present have been 14,110 oxen, 4,492 calves, 40,338 sheep, and 1,362 pigs. The beef trade was heavy to-day, at a decline of 2d per stone on last week's rates. The qaality of the supply of English beef was but middling. The foreign trade was slow. Although there was no actual decline in the value of mutton, the tendency was downwards. Lamb was lower, and the trade heavy. There was a good supply of calves, and prices fell considerably for good quality, say by 8d per stone. Pork maintained its price. The foreign supplies to market to-day included 1,380 beasts, 450 sheep and lambs, and 198 calves. From Scotland came 34 beasts from Norfolk and Suffolk, 2,040 from the midland and home counties, 766.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. I LIVERPOOL, 1st.—The supply of cattle was about the same, and that of sheep and lambs much larger than on Monday last. The demand was slow for beef, with- out much change in prices. Sheep were in fair demand at lower prices. Lambs, except those of the best quality, sold lower good fat Lambs scarce and dear. Beef 5d. to 71.1d. per lb. mutton 6d. to 81-d. lambs, 18s, to 42s. each. There where at market 1,270 cattle and 13,046 sheep. BATH, May 30.-There was a tolerable supply of carcasses at to-day's market, with a fair demand. Beef sold at from 4s 4d to 4s lOd per stone of 81b mutton, 4s to 4s 4d; lamb, 6s to 6s 4d; veal, 4s to 4s ] Od pork 4s 8d to 4s lOd. CARLISLE, 30th.-The cattle-market was very small, owing in great measure to the hirings taking place to- day. The price asked for shorthorns was about £11; Highland cattle, X7 to JE9 Cheviot sheep, 23s to 27s half-breds, 19s to 23s; young pigs, 2bs to 32s; shots, 35s to 40s each. DONCASTER, 30th.—Only a very moderate supply of beasts up to market this morning, and about last Satur- day's prices realized. Heifers, £8 to XIO drapes, X10 to Z12 milch cows, E18 to Y,20 each. A small supply of sheep without alteration in value. Pigs a large show at late prices—small pig8 making from 15s to 20s each; stores from 23s to 40s and 50s; pork, 7s 6d pei stone. MALTON, 39th.-This was the annual Whitsun fair, and as pastures are benefited by the recent rains, there was a strong demand for grazing stock. The fair was not so filled as is usual, and a rather brisk trade resulted buyers being numerous. Irish beasts went at 16 to £ 8 steers, £ 4 to CS wyes English, jE8 to jE12 steers, 1:8 to JEM wyea, with a good clearance. Milch cows readily bought up at high rates, and generally the cattle trade very good. There were very few sheep, and all readily sold at firm prices. NOTTINGHAM, 30th.—There was a limitted supply at our market to-day, and the attendance of buyers was tolerable. The demand ruled steady, and the full rates of last week were maintained. Milch cows realized jElo to 120 barren cows, 110 to 1;15 per head. Of calves the show was small, and there was a firm inquiry at rather better prices, ranging from 25s to 38s each. There was a better supply of sheep, but the amount of business done was very small, and the change in prices was unimportant—ewe and lamb, 56s to 60s per couple hogs, 30s to 45s each the supply of pigs was middling, and late rates were generally quoted-namely, bacon pigs, 7s 3d to 7s 6d porkets, 7s to 7s 3d per stone. WILTSHIRE, 30th.-At our markets this week there has been some decline in the prices of store cattle. Beef sells steadily at high prices, best making up 14s the score. Mutton is a variable trade. Small wether sells readily at 7d per lb., but heavy sheep, which are chiefly offered are not saleable, and are quoted down to • Gd. For lamb there is a good sale at 9d the lb. Veal 1 d. Bacon pigs sell at 1. Is to has a steady sale at 7d to 7id. Bacon pigs sell at lis to I is 6d the score.

WOOL MARKET. I The market for English wool continues very quiet, and prices rule in favour of buyers. The export demand is altogether nominal, owing to the large quantities purchased on continental account at the present series of Colonial Wool Sales.

HOP MARKET. I Our market is quiet, the business transacted being of the usual consumptive character prevalent at this period of the year; prices, however, rule hardly so firm, owing doubtless in a great measure to the extremely favourable weather experienced of late. Reports from the planta- tions continue to speak of fly, which, however, does not appear to have materially increased, although it has extended in new directions, and the condition of the vine generally is such as to give every promise of an abundant crop, should the customary drawbacks be successfully encountered. Continental advices con- tinue very favourablo as regards the progress of the. bine, and the markets generally are pronounced firms New York letters of the 21st ult. report the market as quiet, with a slight tendency to improve prices, account from the various hop sections being on the whole un- satisfactory. The importation of foreign hops into London last week amounted to 25 bales from Dunkirk, and 20 bales from Rotterdam.
