BRITISH CORN TRADE.
I/ryness has again succeeded to the showery period
of May, and the month ended, and June commenced,
with dry, cold, cast winds, that become strong daily,
as the sun rises, reducing by their evaporating power
all vegetation, so much so that farmers are putting
mowers into their fields earlier than they would do,
were it not that grass, trefoil, and other forage crops
"go off" visibly day by day. There was a sharp
ground frost of Son Sunday night week, since when
the temperature has increased, and now the mid-day
sun gives immense heat.
In Mark Lane on Monday, May 31, Talavera wheat
ears, from Surrey, were exhibited, and before the
month of June goes out it is cutinnon for a sack of
new flour to appear on the Paris market; we are,
therefore, assuredly close upon a Midsummer period
when strong influences are exercised against sellers.
Opposed to which, this season, we have but extraneous
and doubtful influences, such as politics and abnormal
weather, to bear.
On June 1, in London, perfect Californian wheat,
sco lb., was sold in cargo, off coast, for 445 Gd ; and
No 2, Chicago wheat, was offered for shipment at ris.
Off the market rtands, per 496 lb., American wheat
was obtainable at 4ts per qr.
The estimated grain stocks at the end of May, in
London, were :—Wheat, 60,0c0 qr. ; barley, 50,000
qr. ; oats, 155,000 qr. ; maize, 20,000 qr. ; a bulk that
shows a moderate increase on the stocks at the end of
April.
-Toe price of wheat generally for the past week has
been unchanged. English sorts quiet in demand.
Foreign neglected. The pressure of a monetary
crisis, involving large failures in the iron trade, and
in a discount house, did but slightly affect the grain
market, in which the heavy losses on oats during the
last month have fallen mostly on strung firms able to
bear the severe fluctuations of value.

At Devizes wheat Was in good supply, but trade ruled
dull at last week's prices. The highest price made
was 235 6d.
On Friday, at Mark-lane wheat, either English or
foreign, was little wanted, and though the arrivals
were small, factors had to make a further slight con-
cession. Barley was very dull, and much easier to
purchase in some instances. Malt changed hands o
a limited extent on rather lower terms. Oats were it
good supply, and in the few sales effected less money
was accepted. Maize, though offered at some reduc-
tion, was very slowly &mit in. Beans and peas
remanded dull and inanimate, The flour trade was
quiet, and rates were slightly lower than on Monday.
—At Coventry, all kinds of grain were dull.--At
Derby, very little business at last week's rates.—At
Liverpool, very quiet for wheat, at Thursday's prices.
Flour very dull, at late rates. Mans 6d. per quarter
lower. Indian corn flat, and 3d. per quartx cheaper.
—At Wakefield, a very small trade in wheat and
prices supported with difficulty, except for the finest
qualities, which are held firmly.
