In Ireland the weather has been rather broken lately,
but on the whole favourable to agricultural prospects,
especially in the South.
The only unfavourable report we have received is
front lienvick-on-Tweed, where "high winds and cold
nights have somewhat counteracted the good effects of
the rains which have fallen. Turnips grow slowly,
and corn crops do not increase in bulk. '
The imports of wheat and flour into the United
Kingdom during the past week have been moderate—
about 183,000 qr. Of maize a fair quantity has arrived
—al»ut 125,000 qr. The deliveries of home produce
have been, on the whole, rather scanty. Of wheat,
43,253 qr. have been offered for sale—a very fair
supply; but the offerings of barley-386 qr.—and of
oats,-417 qr.—have been very short.
The course of the inland markets during the past
week or ten days, has illustrated the very little real
strength in the corn trade this mason. Although
prict.o range so low, the slight advance asked for wheat
and flour last week has checked business generally.
Farmers have still a moderate bulk of grain on hand,
and it appears to be of doubtful profit to store it, con-
sequently the offerings continue on a scale sufficient
for requirements, and millets refuse to give beyond
the 31ss to 460 range, with 42s as an average price,
which seems to be the basis of local value this season.
The last general English wheat average was 425 3d.
During the past 21 years it has only twice fallen no
low at this mason of the year, namely, in 1864, when
the price was 390 Fsl, and in 1855, when it was 41s sd.
At present the range of price this year has been as mod
only. In 1864 value raged 5s only. The first five
months of this year have a strong resemblance to the
first five months of 1870, when the lowest price was
41s 311.
In 1865 the average was sits 10d, and should prices
continue till the end of this year at their present rate
the two years will closely approximate.
Itarls7 this year has had a continuous fall in value,
from 45s in January to 38s 5d at the end of May. Thus
far the year is very like 1869, when value fell from
Os 6d in January, to 395 5d at the end of May. This
comparison, however, augurs ill for holders, for value
in 1869 continued to decline till harvest. At the end
of July the average was 315
Oats this spring have been dearer than in any spring
before during the past 21 years.
The harvest prospects abroad seem on the whole
good for the two leading staples, wheat and barley ;
fair for oats and rye. The pastures are disappointing,
and clover, lucerne, &c, scent to be light crops. Fruit
and vine prospects are exceptionally favourable.
The general course of the foreign markets has been
rather against sellers, and has affected the English
trade in a manner unfavourable to holders of grain.
France and America have been unable to maintain the
advance in price made a fortnight ago.

On Thursday, at Bristol, short supply of English
wheat, and prices fully Is. per quarter dearer ; foreign
scarce, and quite as dear. A moderate inquiry for
barleys, at about last week's prices. For maize a fair
consumptive demand without change in value. Oats
taken only in retail, and former prim were barely
supported. Arrivals :—Wheat, foreign, 4,729 qrs. •
