STATE OF THE CORN TRADE FOR THE WEEK. MARK LANE FRIDAY EVENING -Although only limited quan e tities of home grown wheat have beer on sale in the leading markets of consumption held this week. the demand both or red and white qualities has continued in a sluggish state, and r in some instances the currencies have had 8 drooping tenden ey. At the outports, foreign wheats have moved of slowly, t, at about stationary prices. The few samples of English ba: ley on offer have sold at about previous rates; but inferior e foreign has given way 6d. to 1/ P quarter. No actual change te has taken place in the value of mait. Brewers, however, have operated cautiously. Owing to the great abundance of W pasture food, oats have met a dull Inquiry, and inferior parcels have ruled in favor of buyers. Both beans and peas have sold y slowly, on formerserios No quotable change has taken place If in the value of flour. but low qualities have been difficult of sale. a The following is taken from the circular of Messra. Sturge, t, of Birmingbam If we except the few days at the begin ning and close of last month, during which between five and 0. six inches of rain fell. the weather may be said have been very favorable for all kinds of growing crops, although still marked by the absence of sunshine which has been the pecu list characteristic of the season, and has prevented vegetation re from becoming unusually forward. The wheat on the clay soils, where it had suffered from the rainy Spring haw now much improved yet we think the produce cannet exceed an average in the districts, and unless the weather for blossoming a. is very fiue it will be decidedly less. The reports of the of growing crops in France are generally favorable, though the Southern departments. like Italy, have suffered from drouth, but s the prices of wheat in the French markets have not ! suffered 80 much as in ours, it would appear that nearly the whole of their large importations will be required before the of new crop is ready for use. We believe the stock held by English farmers, dealers, and millers to be unusually light: in fact, every one seems to look al forward to a low range of prices, and provides accordingly. This may be said to be a season when the expectation is not al so likely to be realized, and, judging by the course of the grain market for the last twenty years, there another dear season due to US. The number of grain-laden vessels on pas8 sage from the East is only 390, or less than we remember at this season for some years past. This seems chiefly attrib. e utable to the large arrivals last month, many of the Vessels e having made much quicker passages than usual. The Scotch markets, though scantily supplied have been heavy for wheat, at about stationary prices. Barley and all other spring com have ruled about stationary. Flour has been chiefly in retail parcels. of In Ireland, fine wheat, barley, and oats have moved off steadily at full quotations. Otherwise, the trade have ruled 18 very inactive. The shipments of food have not increased. At Mark Lane, to-day. the show of English wheat was small, and the trade, on the whole ruled steady at full prices. In foreign wheat, a limited business was transacted, yet the quotations ruled firm. Barley and oats moved off slowly, at 60 late rates. The supply of bams and peas being limited their value was supported In flour, sales progressed slowly, on former terms. Markets-CAREFULLI REPORTED FOR THEN. Y. TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, June 1862. 2 ASHES are steady and in request: sales of 50 bbls. at
