December 10.— Wh n at : Parcels of tho now crop aro now ivachinEt tho northern out ports, and we report a brisk demand at nqu.il t i about -4s 8d per bushel for good shipping sample*. frun the samjilos already to hand tlm quality of tho now crop from the north will be fairly pood, but in s uno of the other districts tlifl wheat, is mora or less shrivelled andpinclu'd.

Accounts from the country districts indicate that our earlier statem-nts of tho pa'chy character of tho Rrain fiehis is prnvinc crrcct, and nlthontrh it is far too early to estimato what will he Hie final result, of the presont harvest, we at least know that wheat and hartov Growers are Koincwhat dis'ippointed at the r-'-mlt' (jiven by tho si,ripper. It may indeed be hoped that tho present harvest wi'l bo muo accurately animated than tho hst. Whilst- tho ncrrL cult'iril journals aver pst.iuiaied the harvest of 18H0-91, the oflicial stalistic-i of tho viold were la nent,ably below what Ins smee bnon proved to bo the actual outturn. From a I r.ido standpoint these errors aro to bo regretted, for between tho two opposite st 'dements the wheat busm'is.s of the past nine months lias sulfated considerably.
