Review Of The Week. Mincing-Lane, Friday...
REVIEW OF THE WEEK . Mincing-lane , Friday Evening . In those branches of trade which depend upon our Continental connexions , some improvement has followed the more hopeful light in which political affairs are regarded , and although the improvement is as yet but partial , it is accepted as satisfactory evidence of what might be expected were the fears of war entirely dispelled . In the home trade but little if any change is apparent , both demand and values continuing to exhibit their wonted steadiness ^ Corn . —The features of the corn trade have not varied materially . Supplies of both English and foreign wheat have been only moderate , but the condition of the former having been deteriorated by the prevalent wet weather , purchases of such have been made with reserve , whilst the few good dry samples offering have been readily placed , current quotations remaining about as before . Prime dry old white , 50 s . to 52 s . : select qualities of new , 47 s . to 49 s . ; runs , 45 s . to 46 s . ; prime old red , 44 « . to 4 Gs . ; new , 43 s .. to 44 s . ; good runs , 41 s . to 42 s . ; fair , 39 s . to 40 s . ; soft , 37 s . to 38 s . Foreign is still steadily held , but the demand is very moderate . For the primest white Dantzic 54 s . to 55 s . asked ; good mixed 50 s . to 52 s . ; Brabant and Louvaine white , 45 s . to 46 s . ; red , 43 s . to 44 s . ; St .

American brands , 23 s . to 25 s . ; sour , 20 s . to 21 s per barrel . Malting barley from its scarcity com ^ mands recent high prices fully , and the arrivals of foreign having moderated , these descriptions are firmer , and in some eases 6 d . dearer ; sweet samples of Black Sea import bringing 23 s . per 50 lbs ., whilst some decline to sell at that price . Malt is difficult to quit ; even the finest sorts meeting but a retail sale are quoted 66 s . ; ship samples , 63 s . to 64 s . ; inferior to fair , 55 s . to 60 s . Beans are firm in price , with moderate imports ; English seeding- qualities in request . Peas of all descriptions are firm in price .

Gd . to 53 s . as to quality . The demand for rapeseed is chocked by the expectation of an early and abundant crop on the Continent , but any intervention of severe frost would prove highly critical , and the effect on prices would bo considerable .
