qr.; when sweet, there is no better horse-corn. The 

 arrivals in London during the month have been — in 

 native produce, 5,319; from Scotland, 904; 3,060 

 from Ireland, with 141,166 qrs. foreign. This, 

 though it gives the large weekly average of 37,612 

 qrs., is much below the previous, when it reached 

 46,746 qrs. 



Some cargoes from xilexandria, received during 

 the month, have made beans more plentiful, 

 and checked the tendency to advance in old 

 English qualities. New beans, as a consequence, 

 have rather given way, but generally prices have 

 scarcely changed since last month. Old English 

 sorts, in consequence of a short yield, seem hkely 

 to rule high through the season, as many buyers 

 will not use Egyptian for consumption ; and as our 

 deficiency will be known at Alexandria, it does not 

 seem likely that prices will come down there much. 

 Egyptian here are worth 38s. The supplies in the 

 month have been 2,181 qrs. of home-growth, and 

 4,796 qrs. foreign, showing a weekly average 

 increase over August of about 1,200 qrs. 



Peas, like most spring corn, have been 

 scarcely subject to any change of value. At the 

 commencement of the month white boilers were 

 completely neglected ; at the close they have found 

 a good inquiry, and holders have demanded 2s. per 

 qr. advance; still theyare relatively moderate ascom- 

 pared with those for hog feed, the latter being worth 

 for duns 44s., for maples 46s., while the best white 

 English boilers are only quoted 50s. Whether 

 the latter will advance will partly depend on the 

 ability of Canada to ship to this market. In the 

 Baltic, whence they principally come, the crop 

 is very deficient. So few hog peas are imported, 

 that growers seem likely to rule the market. 

 The imports into London in September, of all 

 kinds, v/ere 1,364 qrs. English and 1,255 foreign. 



Much better supplies of linseed during the past 

 month have come to hand, and at one time the 

 market seemed rather shaken; but the extremelight- 

 ness of stock, as well as of the crop .abroad, and 

 the universally high rates obtaining, having re- 

 assured holders, prices have been firm all through 

 the month, with scarcely any quotable variation. 

 Cakes have also sold well, the drought first 

 making their free use necessary for stock, and, 

 though plenty of green feed has since obtained, 

 it has scarcely diminished their use. The arrivals 

 this month were 30,229 qrs., against 20,626 qrs. in 

 August. 



In the seed -trade, white mustard and canary have 

 both materially advanced : the former in white 

 qualities 4s. per bushel, and the latter having 

 sprung up to £6 per qr., owing to a great de- 

 ficiency in the English as well as Dutch crop. Red 

 eloverseed during the eariier part of the month 



was looking up, in consequence of the rain; but 

 afterwards, in consequence of fine weather, French 

 offers were neglected. Reports from France and 

 Germany are various ; but it is acknowledged in 

 both countries, whatever the yield, the samples will 

 be very fine and strong. White seed and trefoil 

 have commanded little attention. Tares, though 

 very dry and fit for keeping, have rather receded in 

 value, being plentiful. Carraway has risen 5s. per 

 cwt. Rapeseed, hempseed, coriander and other 

 descriptions remain much as last quoted, with a 

 slow trade.
