There has been considerable firmness ID the pain
trade during the put week, though there was a ten-
dency towards reaction on Friday in consequence of
further arrivals of grain-laden vessels at porta of call.
In most of the country markets an advance of Is per
qtto ter has been eb,ained on all dry parcels of wheat,
but factors have not been able to realise any Improve-
ment in the Loudon market. Nevertheless, the recent
rise in the quotations has been well supported. Sup-
plies of English wheat on offer have been small, but
the condition of the samples hes continued good.
While the export demand has been on the in
the inquiry for home consumption has been revit7c4tael
within norow limits, and the uncertain state of polities
has checked specul .tion. White &limb wheat may
now b.. /not.' at 02, por tpurter, but mo.o money tea
occasionally been obtained. The weather daring the
past se'nnight has been favourable for the resumption
of out-door work, but the accounts respecting the
growing wheat crops are less favourable than hitherto.
The damage resulting so far, however, is not serious,
and it is too early in the season to form a correct opinion
as to the probable results of the barvestr The floor
trade has ruled firm, and an occasional adverse, has
been obtained on country sacks.
The spring corn trade has ruled quiet, and oats have
sold slowly at the lat• decline of Is per quarter. 801103
and peas have ruled dull, but are without change in
value. Maize has been been inquired after on former
terms. Bosley has sold in retail at late rates.
