OHIO STATE JOURNAL. From Wilmcr'i Liverpool New! Letter. The preecal xlnta of Use American Provision Trade in Kngliiud. The following circular has just been published by Messrs. J. and 0. Kirkpatrick, of Liverpool. It contains a great number of facts, and many valuable suggestions respecting the truilo in American provisions and Canadian flour, which is so rapidly springing up under the operation of the nevy tantf and the Canada Corn Hill : Livkrpooi, October, 1814. In the present interval between the close of one season and the opening of another, a suitable opportunity is afforded for making some observations on the position and prospects of the Provision and general Produce Trade, now fast rising into importance, between Antctica and this country, and for recommending some alterations in the mode of preparing and shipping Provisions for the English market, suggested by the experience of past years. From the annexed statement of the import of the four leading articles to the Liverpool market during Ihe past season, fla compared with the preceding ones, it will be suet; thut the trade is fust extending, and giving 0 sure evidence of tho magnitude which it is certain soon to reach ; no right estimate can however yet be formed on Ihe subject, many circumstances having operated against the trade so far, which will no longer interfere. The strong prejudice which to some extent existed at first against American provisions, and for which there was good reason, in the very inferior quality of the earliest arrivals, has been gradually removed, as shippers have learned to conform their brands to the wants of the English market, and as tho confidence of buyers hits in consequence been gained. In Iho first shipments a great error was committed in the selection of the articles, price being more considered than quality; wlicrcns, in consequence of their having to compete with the finest and most established brands of Irish, superior quality was required, in order to secure a sale for them : hence arose the heavy losses sustained at the opening of the trade, and also during the past season, whero the same error was committed. It should be borne in mind by all shippers, that the finest qualities of all articles subject lo a fixed duty, not ad valorem, fund especially if the duly payable bo a high one,) will generally prove the most prolitaule shipments, inasmuch as all qualities being subject to not only the same duty, but the same charges a so, the tlillerence in cast which would ap pear consiuerauie at toe low rates ot the home market would hardly be appreciable at the much en- lanced value in the foreign market. JJr.Er. No article of American produce has had more difficulty in securing a footing in our market than beef, and none has more successfully established itself in the confidence of buyers. The hindrance to its introduction arose principally from the prejudice winch tlio interior cliaracteil ot the first shipments naturally produced, and which required some time to dissipate, and the marked change which has taken place in the prospects ot the trade has been owing to tho improved quality of successive arrivals and the resolute preservance of shippers in keeping our markets liberally supplied, in the face of unit uu vices, anu sun more tnscouraging euioe. 'j he low range of prices which has been current during the past season (say from 45s to U8s per tierce) though productive in many instances 01 loss to tho exporters, his yet advantaged the trade, by greatly extending the sale ot the article, an evidence ot which is seen in the comparative imports of the last three seasons, to which we have already referred, and as the recent imports have proved the capability of the United Stilton to give us the wholo of our supplies, of approved quality, and at prices with winch other countries cannot compete, the prospect ot a satisfactory and paying trado in beet is lnvora blc, provided the supplies are in some measure ad justed to the demand of our markets. The decrease in the supplies Irom Ireland is snnwn in the annexed return of imports to London and Liverpool, and still less may be expected this season, for though the quantity required for tho service of our navy (and which Ireland exclusively supplies.) is only 3,000 tierces, yet so long as the manufacturing and trading interests of the country remain in so prosperous a state as they arc at present, there will be an ample home demand at more remunerative prices, tor all Ihe beef that Ireland can supply. The course of prices for the season is generally indicated by the rate at which the Oovcrnmcnt contracts is taken, and which has just been concluded for 3,000 tierces at 104s per tierce of 3.'Ki lbs. against GOO at 78s, in 184:1, and 10,000 at 118s Od in 1842. As the American curers will therefore have the almost exclusive supplying of the English markets in their own hands, they should avoid the faults fn cutting and packing which still attach even to their best brands, and thus exclude competition, not only by lowness of price, but also by perfection of quality. Several of the best parcels that arrived during the past year were very datk in color, which arose either from the use of a bod quality of salt, or from tho imperfect seasoning of tho casks, the strong pickle having drawn out the juice of tho timber. The latter appears the more probable cause, and which may be avoided in future by having the oak from which the casks are made more thoroughly seasoned, or by the uso of other wood for the purpose ; the casks also have generally been too large, allowing the meat to roll about they should be made of such size as just to receive the required quantity with tight packing, leaving room for a good heading of salt; the meat, too, has often been most irregularly messed, the pieces being of very unequal sizes, whereas each piece should be as nearly as possible 8lbsand should be cut up square and compact. These details may appear to some persons matters of small moment, still an attention to them will be found to contribute materially to the successful introduction of American beef to the English market. I'oiik has had less difficuly in finding 1 market with us, and which is in some measure to be regretted, as less care and attention have, in consequence, been piven br curers in adapting their shipments to our market The position of the trade is therefore much the same as it has been for two years past ; but it is capable of treat extension, and which is sure to take placo if an equal facility is shown in preparing an aiticle suited to the English market, as has has been done in respect to beef. The price of pork has been advancing in Ireland for some time past. with the prospect of continued high rates during the coming season, as the number of hogs fed there this year will fall considerably under the usual quantity, in consequence of the partial failure of Ihe potato crop. The Government contract for 14,000 casks has been taken at 112s. per tierce 330 lbs, against 000 at 70s. in 1843, and 14,000 at 15s. in 1842. A high range of prices for Irish pork is consequently expected, which will leave a fair opening for American, with the prospect of paying rates lor suitable qualities. Referring to our circular of 1st September, 1842, for a full detail of the Irish mode of cur-ring and packing, we would here only repeat that the brund of " Prime Mess Pork " should consist of 50 pieces of 4 lbs. each, from hogs weighing from 100 to 200 lbs., every part being packed except the head and legs. It is most important, too, that the meat be firm and well fed. and free from the oily character which American pork genernlly possesses. The extreme soilness of the fat no doubt arises principally from the nature of the feeding in the western country, but it is also in part owing to the practice, which we believe generally prevails in America, of cutting up the meat and putting it in salt immediately on being killed ; whereus it should be allowed to remain at least 30 hours, in order that it may become quite cold and firm, and thus belter prepared lor tho action 01 the curing process. The remarks made as to the size of the casks for beef, apply equal ly 10 uiose lor porK. Hams. with the exception ot a few parcels of very superior cure, for which a high price has been obtained have had not a satisfactory sale ; and as there is no probability of their ever coming extensively into use ror homo consumption under the present high duty, a limited quantity only will be want- eu tor export 111 doiiu. Lard. Of the various articles of modern import from the United States, Lard took the lead from the first, and has continued to maintain its position as the item of most extensive import. It is bought most largely by shopkeepers, to retail for culinary uses by chandlers and by oil and soap manufacturers. For the first, the finest quality only is wanted, firm and of good color, and as free as possible of the oily flavour which attaches, more or less, to all American Lard. It should be put up in neat kegs, no variation of quality being allowed in the sume parcel. For the other purposes, barrels are the preferable package chandlers requiring strength of quality and firmness of texture; while all descriptions, down to the most inferior grease, nre suitable for the oil and soap manufacturers. In consequence of the most unfair and unmercantile system that prevails in the American markets with regard to tures of Lard, the shipments of this article have not been so generally profitable as they should have been; for while parties have been induced to make shipments from the fair margin apparently afforded for profit, by the relatives of the two markets, the sales have shown a deficiency in weight as to more than counteibalance the advanced prices obtained. This matter should have the immediate attention of those interested in tho trade, with a view to its remedy, as nothing tends more to injure the character of a market, than an illiberal system in regard to weights and tares. Tho practice in Liverpool is to cive actual tares ascer tained by an average of 5 or 10 casks of each parcel, with a draft of 2 lb. on 5 kegs and on barrels under 2 cwt, 3 lb under 3 cwt, &c. Tho statement annexed shows the increasing character of (he trade in Lard, the import for the past 12 months to this port amounting to 2000 tons, with the prospect of a continued increase from year to year, if prices keep a low level relatively with tallow and oils the demand fur Lard being much influenced by the value of these articles. Cheese. The import of this articlo to Liverpool during the past 12 months was somewhat over 1400 tons, while the sieady and progressive increase in the trade gives promise of a much extended import in coming years. Tho general quality of American Cheese shows that tho soil of the United States is well suited for its production, and which makes it the more to be regretted that the very obvious defects of make, which have so much operated against its more extensive introduction into England, should not be romcdicd. This might easily be accomplished by the circulation of proper instructions on the subject, among the farmers in tho cheese-making districts. Of these defects, the principal arise from a too hurried manufacture, and insullicient pressing --which, by leaving much of the whey in the cheese, not only injures the flavor, but renders it more liable fo decay while the same cause makes it open and porous a fault particularly objectionable. The make of English Cheese has never been equal to the demand of this country, and (he homo supplies have consequently been supplemented by large yearly imports of Dutch. There is now, however, every prospect of the required supplies being drawn largely, if not principally, from tho United States instead of Holland, the diminishing import from the one, and the rapidly increasing import from the other, already indicating such a change. As regards the form of the Cheese, it is desirable that they be made of less Dreadth and greater depth or thickness, which would both conform them more nearly to the appearance of Cheshire, with which they have principally to com pete and would also fit them better for passing through the ordeal of a long voyage. These hints come too late to affect this season's make, but we hope they may be availed of in leading shippers to make their selections for the English market with more judgment than has yet been shown. Of the va'ious modes of packing cheese in casks, we incline to recommend that of separating them by thin boards, which should be greased, in order to prevent them from adhering to the cheese when much heated and soft. The remarks already made on the pre ference which should be riven fo (he finest qualities of articles generally for shipment, are peculiarly applicable to cheese, on which tho duty and other charges are so heavy. Butter and Baco from the United States are subject to such high duties as will generally be quite prohibitory, but they mar come largely from Canada the small duties imposed on Colonial produce be ing no very serums obstacle. 1 he introduction ot Butter in Canada is the more likely to be stimulated, in consequence of its being now seen that that country is almost quite excluded from participating in the trade of supplying England with Beef and Pork not being able tooompeto with the United States in a trade which, so far as the demand for these articles for export and ship's stores is concerned, ia virtually free. Tallow seems likely to rank for the future among the staple imports from the United State to this country, and deserves the attention of shippers. The better qualities of American that have been imported so far, have given much satisfaction to the consumers, and are now generally sought after, al fid to Is. per cwt below the price of Russian Yellow Candle. The qualities required in Tallow, in order to reach our highest market rates, are a bright pale or primrose color a strong dry body, fre from any admixture of lard or grease and uniformity in both quality and package. These are essential points to be attended to; and we would further recommend to large operators, to adopt some distinctive brand for their best quality; the character of which, when once established, would secure for it a ready and satisfactory sale. At present there is no American in tho market, and the stocks of Russia in the cnunlry aro small, the import of tho lutler into Great Britain to the present time being 10,000 casks less than at tho corresponding period of last year; and as the shipments from Russia now on the way will cost fully 42s. duty paid hero, no reduction from present rates is likely to take place. Lard Oil. The duly of20 percent., ad velorem, imposed on this and other manufactured articles, will always prevent any extensive import of such, so long as they can be equally well manufactured in this country. Candles will have a sale to a small extent, in bond, for export. Hides, Horns, Ashes, Bf.es' Wax, Whalebone, Sperm Oil, and some other articles are likely to become of increasing importance, as items of import front the Unit:d States; but the trade in them possesses no feature that demands notice, the amount of which will be determined wholly by Ihe relative rates of the two markets. Flax Seed and Clover Seed. The quality of American seed has been deteriorating for some time past, and is fast loosing the confidence ot the agriculturists in consequence. Tho farmers too of late years are more particular in their selections, and unless therefore more care is bestowed in having American seed pure and unmixed, the demand for it for sowing will cease. In the early part of the summer, the long continued dry weather seemed quite against the prospect of any important quantity of clover seed being saved, and in consequence several speculative purchases were made from the stock that remained over unsold from last season. The favorable change that took place, however, in the after part of the summer, so altered the prospects of the home growth, that prices have since continued to recede, with the prospect of low rates for the coming season, and very limited imports being required. Hemp has been receiving a good deal of attention of late, and has come forward in sufficient quantity to have its value ascertained and its quality tested. It is found to possess great strength of fibre, and in all other respects to have good natural quality; but most parcels of dew rotted (hat have arrived, have been so dark in color, and so imperfectly cleansed, that its sale in consequence has been much hindered; 22 per ton has been the extreme rate obtainable, while the valuo of Russian was 27 to 28; the imperfect cleaning, and dark color of the American alone preventing it from reaching the same price. Wheat, Flour, &c. Tho result of the harvest being now pretty well ascertained, we are enabled to say with confidence that, with regard to wheat the great staple crop of this country there has nev er been a more abundant harvest reaped, while the excellence of the quality is quite equal to abundanca of the yield. Oats rank next as to yield, but are below an average. Barley and Beans, in consequence of the long continued drought in the early part of tho summer, are a very short crop, which in many parts of the country was a complete failure. The abundance of the wheat crop will, however, compensate for the deficiency in the others, and low rates, for that article at least, may be looked for. The reduction in prices which has already taken place has advanced the duty to Ihe highest point, 20s per quarter, and at which it is likely to remain during the winter, so that the stock of United Statee flour held in this country, and which in Liverpool amounts to 140,000 barrels, must remain in bond till next summer at least, with the exception of whatever portion mny be required for export. The result, so far of this season's importation from Canada, shows that the object contemplated by the corn bill of last year has been fully secured, in drawing to the St Lawrence a considerable portion of the produce of tho western States. A late return shows, that the exports from Canada, up to August this season, were 307,000 barrels flour, and 237,000 bushels wheat the exports to the same period of last season having been only 50,000 barrels flnur, and 15,000 bushels wheat. In the operation of this law therefore amplo compensation ia made to Canada for the loss of the trade with Great Britain and her colonies, in provisions; but at the samo time no longer tenure of any such protective system need be calculated on, as the present tendency of British legislation is evidently to abandon protection, and of which the Canadian Corn Act ia considered, at least by the agricultural interests, a very significant evidence. Referring to the subjoined statements in illustration of our remarks, we are your obedient servants, J. and C. KIRKPATRICK. Jmporlt of American Bttf, Pork, Lard and Chtttt.

OHIO STATE JOURNAL. From Wilmcr'i Liverpool New! Letter. The preecal xlnta of Use American Provision Trade in Kngliiud. The following circular has just been published by Messrs. J. and 0. Kirkpatrick, of Liverpool. It contains a great number of facts, and many valuable suggestions respecting the truilo in American provisions and Canadian flour, which is so rapidly springing up under the operation of the nevy tantf and the Canada Corn Hill : Livkrpooi, October, 1814. In the present interval between the close of one season and the opening of another, a suitable opportunity is afforded for making some observations on the position and prospects of the Provision and general Produce Trade, now fast rising into importance, between Antctica and this country, and for recommending some alterations in the mode of preparing and shipping Provisions for the English market, suggested by the experience of past years. From the annexed statement of the import of the four leading articles to the Liverpool market during Ihe past season, fla compared with the preceding ones, it will be suet; thut the trade is fust extending, and giving 0 sure evidence of tho magnitude which it is certain soon to reach ; no right estimate can however yet be formed on Ihe subject, many circumstances having operated against the trade so far, which will no longer interfere. The strong prejudice which to some extent existed at first against American provisions, and for which there was good reason, in the very inferior quality of the earliest arrivals, has been gradually removed, as shippers have learned to conform their brands to the wants of the English market, and as tho confidence of buyers hits in consequence been gained. In Iho first shipments a great error was committed in the selection of the articles, price being more considered than quality; wlicrcns, in consequence of their having to compete with the finest and most established brands of Irish, superior quality was required, in order to secure a sale for them : hence arose the heavy losses sustained at the opening of the trade, and also during the past season, whero the same error was committed. It should be borne in mind by all shippers, that the finest qualities of all articles subject lo a fixed duty, not ad valorem, fund especially if the duly payable bo a high one,) will generally prove the most prolitaule shipments, inasmuch as all qualities being subject to not only the same duty, but the same charges a so, the tlillerence in cast which would ap pear consiuerauie at toe low rates ot the home market would hardly be appreciable at the much en- lanced value in the foreign market. JJr.Er. No article of American produce has had more difficulty in securing a footing in our market than beef, and none has more successfully established itself in the confidence of buyers. The hindrance to its introduction arose principally from the prejudice winch tlio interior cliaracteil ot the first shipments naturally produced, and which required some time to dissipate, and the marked change which has taken place in the prospects ot the trade has been owing to tho improved quality of successive arrivals and the resolute preservance of shippers in keeping our markets liberally supplied, in the face of unit uu vices, anu sun more tnscouraging euioe. 'j he low range of prices which has been current during the past season (say from 45s to U8s per tierce) though productive in many instances 01 loss to tho exporters, his yet advantaged the trade, by greatly extending the sale ot the article, an evidence ot which is seen in the comparative imports of the last three seasons, to which we have already referred, and as the recent imports have proved the capability of the United Stilton to give us the wholo of our supplies, of approved quality, and at prices with winch other countries cannot compete, the prospect ot a satisfactory and paying trado in beet is lnvora blc, provided the supplies are in some measure ad justed to the demand of our markets. The decrease in the supplies Irom Ireland is snnwn in the annexed return of imports to London and Liverpool, and still less may be expected this season, for though the quantity required for tho service of our navy (and which Ireland exclusively supplies.) is only 3,000 tierces, yet so long as the manufacturing and trading interests of the country remain in so prosperous a state as they arc at present, there will be an ample home demand at more remunerative prices, tor all Ihe beef that Ireland can supply. The course of prices for the season is generally indicated by the rate at which the Oovcrnmcnt contracts is taken, and which has just been concluded for 3,000 tierces at 104s per tierce of 3.'Ki lbs. against GOO at 78s, in 184:1, and 10,000 at 118s Od in 1842. As the American curers will therefore have the almost exclusive supplying of the English markets in their own hands, they should avoid the faults fn cutting and packing which still attach even to their best brands, and thus exclude competition, not only by lowness of price, but also by perfection of quality. Several of the best parcels that arrived during the past year were very datk in color, which arose either from the use of a bod quality of salt, or from tho imperfect seasoning of tho casks, the strong pickle having drawn out the juice of tho timber. The latter appears the more probable cause, and which may be avoided in future by having the oak from which the casks are made more thoroughly seasoned, or by the uso of other wood for the purpose ; the casks also have generally been too large, allowing the meat to roll about they should be made of such size as just to receive the required quantity with tight packing, leaving room for a good heading of salt; the meat, too, has often been most irregularly messed, the pieces being of very unequal sizes, whereas each piece should be as nearly as possible 8lbsand should be cut up square and compact. These details may appear to some persons matters of small moment, still an attention to them will be found to contribute materially to the successful introduction of American beef to the English market. I'oiik has had less difficuly in finding 1 market with us, and which is in some measure to be regretted, as less care and attention have, in consequence, been piven br curers in adapting their shipments to our market The position of the trade is therefore much the same as it has been for two years past ; but it is capable of treat extension, and which is sure to take placo if an equal facility is shown in preparing an aiticle suited to the English market, as has has been done in respect to beef. The price of pork has been advancing in Ireland for some time past. with the prospect of continued high rates during the coming season, as the number of hogs fed there this year will fall considerably under the usual quantity, in consequence of the partial failure of Ihe potato crop. The Government contract for 14,000 casks has been taken at 112s. per tierce 330 lbs, against 000 at 70s. in 1843, and 14,000 at 15s. in 1842. A high range of prices for Irish pork is consequently expected, which will leave a fair opening for American, with the prospect of paying rates lor suitable qualities. Referring to our circular of 1st September, 1842, for a full detail of the Irish mode of cur-ring and packing, we would here only repeat that the brund of " Prime Mess Pork " should consist of 50 pieces of 4 lbs. each, from hogs weighing from 100 to 200 lbs., every part being packed except the head and legs. It is most important, too, that the meat be firm and well fed. and free from the oily character which American pork genernlly possesses. The extreme soilness of the fat no doubt arises principally from the nature of the feeding in the western country, but it is also in part owing to the practice, which we believe generally prevails in America, of cutting up the meat and putting it in salt immediately on being killed ; whereus it should be allowed to remain at least 30 hours, in order that it may become quite cold and firm, and thus belter prepared lor tho action 01 the curing process. The remarks made as to the size of the casks for beef, apply equal ly 10 uiose lor porK. Hams. with the exception ot a few parcels of very superior cure, for which a high price has been obtained have had not a satisfactory sale ; and as there is no probability of their ever coming extensively into use ror homo consumption under the present high duty, a limited quantity only will be want- eu tor export 111 doiiu. Lard. Of the various articles of modern import from the United States, Lard took the lead from the first, and has continued to maintain its position as the item of most extensive import. It is bought most largely by shopkeepers, to retail for culinary uses by chandlers and by oil and soap manufacturers. For the first, the finest quality only is wanted, firm and of good color, and as free as possible of the oily flavour which attaches, more or less, to all American Lard. It should be put up in neat kegs, no variation of quality being allowed in the sume parcel. For the other purposes, barrels are the preferable package chandlers requiring strength of quality and firmness of texture; while all descriptions, down to the most inferior grease, nre suitable for the oil and soap manufacturers. In consequence of the most unfair and unmercantile system that prevails in the American markets with regard to tures of Lard, the shipments of this article have not been so generally profitable as they should have been; for while parties have been induced to make shipments from the fair margin apparently afforded for profit, by the relatives of the two markets, the sales have shown a deficiency in weight as to more than counteibalance the advanced prices obtained. This matter should have the immediate attention of those interested in tho trade, with a view to its remedy, as nothing tends more to injure the character of a market, than an illiberal system in regard to weights and tares. Tho practice in Liverpool is to cive actual tares ascer tained by an average of 5 or 10 casks of each parcel, with a draft of 2 lb. on 5 kegs and on barrels under 2 cwt, 3 lb under 3 cwt, &c. Tho statement annexed shows the increasing character of (he trade in Lard, the import for the past 12 months to this port amounting to 2000 tons, with the prospect of a continued increase from year to year, if prices keep a low level relatively with tallow and oils the demand fur Lard being much influenced by the value of these articles. Cheese. The import of this articlo to Liverpool during the past 12 months was somewhat over 1400 tons, while the sieady and progressive increase in the trade gives promise of a much extended import in coming years. Tho general quality of American Cheese shows that tho soil of the United States is well suited for its production, and which makes it the more to be regretted that the very obvious defects of make, which have so much operated against its more extensive introduction into England, should not be romcdicd. This might easily be accomplished by the circulation of proper instructions on the subject, among the farmers in tho cheese-making districts. Of these defects, the principal arise from a too hurried manufacture, and insullicient pressing --which, by leaving much of the whey in the cheese, not only injures the flavor, but renders it more liable fo decay while the same cause makes it open and porous a fault particularly objectionable. The make of English Cheese has never been equal to the demand of this country, and (he homo supplies have consequently been supplemented by large yearly imports of Dutch. There is now, however, every prospect of the required supplies being drawn largely, if not principally, from tho United States instead of Holland, the diminishing import from the one, and the rapidly increasing import from the other, already indicating such a change. As regards the form of the Cheese, it is desirable that they be made of less Dreadth and greater depth or thickness, which would both conform them more nearly to the appearance of Cheshire, with which they have principally to com pete and would also fit them better for passing through the ordeal of a long voyage. These hints come too late to affect this season's make, but we hope they may be availed of in leading shippers to make their selections for the English market with more judgment than has yet been shown. Of the va'ious modes of packing cheese in casks, we incline to recommend that of separating them by thin boards, which should be greased, in order to prevent them from adhering to the cheese when much heated and soft. The remarks already made on the pre ference which should be riven fo (he finest qualities of articles generally for shipment, are peculiarly applicable to cheese, on which tho duty and other charges are so heavy. Butter and Baco from the United States are subject to such high duties as will generally be quite prohibitory, but they mar come largely from Canada the small duties imposed on Colonial produce be ing no very serums obstacle. 1 he introduction ot Butter in Canada is the more likely to be stimulated, in consequence of its being now seen that that country is almost quite excluded from participating in the trade of supplying England with Beef and Pork not being able tooompeto with the United States in a trade which, so far as the demand for these articles for export and ship's stores is concerned, ia virtually free. Tallow seems likely to rank for the future among the staple imports from the United State to this country, and deserves the attention of shippers. The better qualities of American that have been imported so far, have given much satisfaction to the consumers, and are now generally sought after, al fid to Is. per cwt below the price of Russian Yellow Candle. The qualities required in Tallow, in order to reach our highest market rates, are a bright pale or primrose color a strong dry body, fre from any admixture of lard or grease and uniformity in both quality and package. These are essential points to be attended to; and we would further recommend to large operators, to adopt some distinctive brand for their best quality; the character of which, when once established, would secure for it a ready and satisfactory sale. At present there is no American in tho market, and the stocks of Russia in the cnunlry aro small, the import of tho lutler into Great Britain to the present time being 10,000 casks less than at tho corresponding period of last year; and as the shipments from Russia now on the way will cost fully 42s. duty paid hero, no reduction from present rates is likely to take place. Lard Oil. The duly of20 percent., ad velorem, imposed on this and other manufactured articles, will always prevent any extensive import of such, so long as they can be equally well manufactured in this country. Candles will have a sale to a small extent, in bond, for export. Hides, Horns, Ashes, Bf.es' Wax, Whalebone, Sperm Oil, and some other articles are likely to become of increasing importance, as items of import front the Unit:d States; but the trade in them possesses no feature that demands notice, the amount of which will be determined wholly by Ihe relative rates of the two markets. Flax Seed and Clover Seed. The quality of American seed has been deteriorating for some time past, and is fast loosing the confidence ot the agriculturists in consequence. Tho farmers too of late years are more particular in their selections, and unless therefore more care is bestowed in having American seed pure and unmixed, the demand for it for sowing will cease. In the early part of the summer, the long continued dry weather seemed quite against the prospect of any important quantity of clover seed being saved, and in consequence several speculative purchases were made from the stock that remained over unsold from last season. The favorable change that took place, however, in the after part of the summer, so altered the prospects of the home growth, that prices have since continued to recede, with the prospect of low rates for the coming season, and very limited imports being required. Hemp has been receiving a good deal of attention of late, and has come forward in sufficient quantity to have its value ascertained and its quality tested. It is found to possess great strength of fibre, and in all other respects to have good natural quality; but most parcels of dew rotted (hat have arrived, have been so dark in color, and so imperfectly cleansed, that its sale in consequence has been much hindered; 22 per ton has been the extreme rate obtainable, while the valuo of Russian was 27 to 28; the imperfect cleaning, and dark color of the American alone preventing it from reaching the same price. Wheat, Flour, &c. Tho result of the harvest being now pretty well ascertained, we are enabled to say with confidence that, with regard to wheat the great staple crop of this country there has nev er been a more abundant harvest reaped, while the excellence of the quality is quite equal to abundanca of the yield. Oats rank next as to yield, but are below an average. Barley and Beans, in consequence of the long continued drought in the early part of tho summer, are a very short crop, which in many parts of the country was a complete failure. The abundance of the wheat crop will, however, compensate for the deficiency in the others, and low rates, for that article at least, may be looked for. The reduction in prices which has already taken place has advanced the duty to Ihe highest point, 20s per quarter, and at which it is likely to remain during the winter, so that the stock of United Statee flour held in this country, and which in Liverpool amounts to 140,000 barrels, must remain in bond till next summer at least, with the exception of whatever portion mny be required for export. The result, so far of this season's importation from Canada, shows that the object contemplated by the corn bill of last year has been fully secured, in drawing to the St Lawrence a considerable portion of the produce of tho western States. A late return shows, that the exports from Canada, up to August this season, were 307,000 barrels flour, and 237,000 bushels wheat the exports to the same period of last season having been only 50,000 barrels flnur, and 15,000 bushels wheat. In the operation of this law therefore amplo compensation ia made to Canada for the loss of the trade with Great Britain and her colonies, in provisions; but at the samo time no longer tenure of any such protective system need be calculated on, as the present tendency of British legislation is evidently to abandon protection, and of which the Canadian Corn Act ia considered, at least by the agricultural interests, a very significant evidence. Referring to the subjoined statements in illustration of our remarks, we are your obedient servants, J. and C. KIRKPATRICK. Jmporlt of American Bttf, Pork, Lard and Chtttt.
