the anticipation of abundance had its effect upon 

 dealers who had not quitted the Ktocks secured in 

 the previous month ; prices, therefore, gave way 

 fully 6d. to Is. per qr. on the last Monday, when 

 the weekly supply reached 105,000 qrs. The re- 

 duction on old was another Is. per qr., and on new 

 Is. 6d. The imj)orts for the month into London 

 have been from the United Kingdom 15,527 qrs., 

 from abroad 178,373 qrs., giving a weekly supply 

 of 48,501 qrs., against G2,031 qrs. weekly in 

 August. As the principal imports have been 

 Russian, so if we get an early closing of the 

 Baltic, there may be again a rise in this grain, 

 which is undoubtedly a short produce in this 

 country. 



In beans, the tendency even of old qualities has 

 been downwards, the warm weather lessening the 

 consumption as well as the high prices ; but new 

 not being so fit for use, on the receipt of only mo- 

 derate supplies, have become quite a drug, and dif- 

 ficult to get rid of: they have gradually receded in 

 value 2s. to 3s. ; while old and foreign, perhaps, 

 have scarcely been more than Is. per qr. cheaper. 

 The receipts into London have been, in English 

 qualities 3,863 qrs., in foreign 6,949. 



Peas also being in better supply have been 

 reduced in value, duns and maples being about 2s. 

 per qr. cheaper; and white boilers arriving in some 

 plenty before the demand from the continent, 

 have fallen fully 3s. per qr. This reduction we 

 expect will be recovered in the winter; but till then 

 there may be dragging markets. On all hands 

 our own crops are acknowledged to be miserable ; 

 and it is doubtful whether the deficiency can be 

 readily made up in foreign quarters. The arrivals 

 in September were 1,645 qrs. English, and 2,290 

 qrs. foreign; so that any spirited speculator could 

 clear the market. 



Linseed throughout the month has been steady; 

 foreign advices at the places of growth, and a 

 foreign demand at the places of consumption, serv- 

 ing to keep the article at a high range; while the 

 favour in which cakes are now held, both for nutri- 

 tion and manure, keeps them very saleable and dear. 



In the seed trade, the chief changes have been in 

 white mustard and canary : the former first fell 

 to 13s. per bush., and then recovered 2s. per bush, 

 of its former price; the latter fell from 100s, to 

 G8s., and in the last market became worth about 

 80s. per qr. Winter tares since the rain have been 

 in improved request, and rather dearer. Trefoil 

 and cloverseed very firm. Reports in France 

 speak of great local failures, and an advance; here 

 also, there are some unfavourable opinions, but 

 without any wild inclination to speculate. In 

 hempseed, rape- seed, and other seeds there has 

 been little alteration.
