REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) Although the frost has lingered in the North of Ger- many, it has hastened its departure here, leaving but few vestiges of its effects. Light rains and occasional sun- shine have succeeded, and if these continue we shall soon see the effects on vegetation. The neck of the winter being thus fairly broken, we can henceforth only expect fitful visits, aud the thing most to be feared is excessive wet. For be it remembered, we lately had a large ex- tent of country swamped, and there has yet been no opportunity to thoroughly drain it. But our own position thus far, if capable of being mended, is nothing to the damaging floods now complained of in Hungary, caused entirely by continuous heavy rains and ordinary travelers for some time have had to pass over large tracts of fine corn land in boats instead of by the ordinary roads. Many fears are caused by this state of things, and the promise of Hungary proportionately cut off. Yet no con- sideration of a remote kind has had the least effect on our heavy corn market, and prices through the country have further given way Is. to 2s. per qr., without much change of hands. Only one fact seems settled, the further we go down, the nearer we are to the bottom, and as soon as capitalists believe that is touched will they be disposed to make investments. We are, indeed, reaching a crisis of contrasts. Bread goes a begging, while many go begging for bread; and while some propose emigration as the great source of relief to the country, no holder of corn believes that a diminished consumption will increase the demand. The strange phenomenon is this, Providence has made the earth to teem with plenty, that plenty instrumentally caused by the hand of man, yet the labouring man is destitute in the midst of abundance. The influence of English advices has everywhere been felt abroad. In France they have rather cheapened for wheat, but not seriously and it is the same in Belgium, Holland, Hambro', Stettin, Cologne, and Odessa. The frost may yet hold on sonfe time in the Northern ports, in the Azof, as well as in the lake ports and Montreal; but then liberty to ship will find very little encouragement withiout an improved range of prices, of which there seems no im- mediate prospect. The sales of English wheat noted last week were 54,014 qrs. at 42s. 8d., against 64,605 qrs. at 51s. 5d. in 1869. The imports into the kingdom for the week ending 29th January were 855,622 cwts. wheat, and 172,826 cwts. flour.
