We have no amendment to notice in the Continental exchanges.
Tine quotations are still drooping ; and, but for the support given to the market by the house of Baring, Brothers. and Co., who are believed to be acting for the Bank of England, it is not too much to suppose that they could not be maintained at any thing like their recent eleva- tints. It is a question not very easy of solution, how it is that a balance of trade should still be in operatimi against us. The payments made and making, for foreign grain, are, it is to be presumed, much more considerable than the public are aware of; and the exportation of our manufactures are still so inconsiderable as to be hardly worthy of being taken into the aeconnt at all as a medium of exchange. Last year we shipped nothing to the corn-growing districts of the Continent; this year there is the same absence of orders ; and we suppose it may now be fairly understood that this branch of our export trade has all but ceased.—ellorning Post.
