THr cRors.-The editor Of the Circular to Bank.
ers, than whom a more careful observer does not
exist, has just published the results Of his recent in
vest cations into the state Of the crops. The editor
observes:


"The spread of the disease has been signally ar
rested, and much larger crop of potatoes in Great
Britain and suspect also in Ireland will, we trust
be preserved, than any man dared TO hope for few
weeks ago. This is so far extremely satisfactory,
and has afforded US much relief"


The food prospects Of the country form a subject

European Corn Trade.
From wilmer smiths Liverpool Times, Oct 4


LONDON, Oct. 3.-Since our last report our mar

reference TO our former Quotations and those pub
lished to-day, will show the increase which has
taken place in every article connected with the
trade. Doring the week ending September 26th,
extensive transactions were effected both in home

large demands and enhanced ls. 10 2s. per
sack. American -four sold at 3ls. to 32s., duty
paid, and 2Ss. to 29s., per barrel in bond. Indian
corn wis IN good request, and brought increased
prices. There was moderate show OF wheat on

neighsoring counties, which met a lively demand

or no bonded wheat at this port, the few parcels

At the market held on the 30th ultimo, the supplies
of English wheat were small, and the demand being
extensive, created dsproportionate demand of ad-

The holders of wheat are becoming generally in.
different to sales at the present prices, consdera-

be established, there being virtually no foreign
stocks in the bonded warehouses, and the increas-

prices begin to be regarded altogether below the
true value of the fine article of new English wheat.
The arrivals by sea have been extremely small dur

very heavy imporations of the breadstuffs of the
