BRITISH CORN TRADE.

Influences that puzzle buyers and sellers keep
opinions unsettled. The equinoctial break up of the
weather, bringing rain and wind storms, with cold at
night that has reached the freezing point, is calculated
to give cohesion and steadiness to trade, were there
but a week's cessation to the large bulk of imports.
These, however, continue to arrive on an immense
scale, although there are signs that they must soon
materially diminish. There is a belief current that
although English wheat was saved in fine condition,
that from a deficiency of solar heat-3 from the mean
average—in July, the grain will not keep well, and
that moist, soft weather will at once put it out of con-
dition. There is, then, a decided probability that the
English markets may be controlled by foreign shippers
and importers, and as the rate of money discount is
exceedingly low, holders will be likely to command
remunerative prices or keep stock in granary:
As to wheat cargoes, they arc now but little different
in value from those of a year ago.
On Wednesday 45s was accepted for Nicopol Ghirka
per 492 lb, and 4.8 s for No Milwaukee ;for Australian,
525 per 480 lb are asked; and 535 for white Spanish,
525 6d for Californian.
Shippers in San Francisco are forwarding flour, it is
said, at their own risk, expecting at the end of • four
months' e the rates may be better than now.

Will you have the kindness to giro insertion to this
further not., on the " Agave Americana," which, when
formerly noticed, in your columns, was not in blossom ;
and as many of its spike. or branches are now in full
bloom it Is said by the gentleman occupying the house
In whose garden it is and who has travelled almost
round the globe, that it is the most pefect specimen of
the kind he ever saw I We are anxious all who saw it
when not in flower should now see it in full bloom without
further charge, and that those who have not yet seen it
should avail themselves of the present opportunity of
seeing this very rare phenomenon, requiring from 50 toloo
years to mature it for its great and finsl effort of putting
forth its gigantic flower stein, which for its graceful
appearance is not to be surpassed, and rarely equalled, by
any floriculture. Tills plant has certainly been ill its
present position for upwards of 50 years; how old the
plant was when placed there no one can telL The flower
stem began to appear in May last., and has now reached
the extraordinary height of 30 feet, and is surrounded by a
multitude of branches, most gracefully arranged in a
pyramidal form with the most perfect symmetry, and the
points of each cluster of greenish yellow flowers aPpear
those towards the base of the stein flower first, while those
above that come out later, are later coming into flower,
and no it will go on flowering for some weeks, thus afford-
ing for all who wish to see this wonderful production of
Nature an opportunity of doing so. A few of us, from
motives of philanthropy towards the owner—who has
nursed it for 50 years—au well as to protect it for the
gratification of the public, have endeavoured to protect it
from the "rough blast," which in its exposed position
would have wrecked it long ere this ; and we have incurred
some expense in doing so, which we have already nearly
covered by visitors, and now we look forward to making a
small purse for its owner at the small charge of ls. each
and half-price for children at fo-hnol. The entrance is at

MR. DOINERIE ON THE STATE OF POLITICS.
The annual dinner of the Warminster Farmers' Club
took place last Friday evening at Waraninster—the Duke
of Somerset in the chair. Among those present were the
Marquis of Bath, Lord Heytesbury, Lord H. Thy nne, M.P.,
the Right Hon. E. I'. B M ouverie, r. H. C. LMP opes, ..,
Captain Vesting. Ic. The Right lion. E. Pleydell Bouverie,
in proposing the toast of "Succesa to the Warminster
Fanners' Club,'" said he was a politician in • state of
suspended animation, and might therefore be allowed to
transgress slightly the rule which excluded politics from
their meeting. At the present time they were in a state
of calm, in whist was known to nautical men as the dol-
drums, when the sailors who had nothing to do whistled
for • breeze, and the passengers who were unaccustomed
to the state of things were eera-sick—(laughter). He could
account for the present political doldrums in two ways.
In the first plaice, they were living in times of change in
our condition, in legislation, and in such • time of scientific
Change aa had never been equalled in any generation since
the world was made. Political changes had been made to
adapt our political condition to the new state of things,
and crooked things had been made so straight that the
people of this country were more contented than they ever
, were before. The attempts of agitators who whistled for
, a breeze were therefore vain, because the people were
better off than they had been for some time. Another
'won was due to the fact of our living in an age of
discussion, when nothing was too sacred or too humble to
be pulled to pieces. Diacuasion was the living breath of
the country, and especially in the press. questions which
used to divide sensible men were speedily decided, and
parties arrived at very much the Baru. conclusions. The
Toryism of our fathers no longer existed ; and the advanced
Liberals, with their various theories, all put forward for
the happinem of miuthind, continually indulgiug In dreams,
had to whistle for • wind. At Newcastle the other day
they whistled for a wind, and predicted no Church and no
beer. He hoped, however, they would dr. with &moderate
summit of beer and respect the Established Church—
(laughter).
The Marquis of BATH, in replying to the toast "The
House of Lords," sell Air. Bouverie had referred to th,,
present state of the political world so being one id calm.
hut for hiansclf he was not quite sure that that state of
calm was • healthy state. It might only be the forecasting
of ft violent stone. He 1110 not complain of the want of
legislative measures, but he thought the love Parliament
interfered with the country the better.

The wheat ships on passage were bringing in 1874,
733,000 qr., whilst at present there is about halls
million qr. more on its way, and the sources of supply
are numerous and wide. .

As regards market opinion, there are no immediate
changes anticipated, so that quotations seem likely to
remain much the same for a month. . . .

The imports of wheat and flour into the United
Kingdom last week were 340,000 qr.—a very large
quantity of grain, as will be seen, when it is remembered
that a large averagc yearly importation of grain is
12,000,000 qr. while this is at the rate of nearly
18,030,000 qr. Large as this foreign supply is, however,
it has been considerably exceeded since harvest ;
indeed, the month of September, 1875, will probably
be long remembered for the extraordinary grain
arrivals. The supply of maize last week was about
96,000 qr.
Slowly increasing, week by week, the deliveries of
British grain have now attained to figures which
approach the average for wheat and oats more nearly
than has been the case this cereal year yet. The
supplies of English barley remain excessively meagre;
for the corresponding period, 1874, is five times larger
than this year in its barley deliveries, and 1873 three
times.

The inland markets have been, in the great majority
of instances, quiet in tone, with only a moderate busi-
ness doing in any corn staple with the tendency of the
Exchange running rather in favour of the purchaser
than the seller. . . . . .

The great ports during the past week have remained
depressed by the heavy arrivals. There has, however,
been manifest a slight improvement in demand.
Wheat has been is lower on the week at several
ports and a slow trade at the majority, but at some,
prices have rallied a little, and this has been the case
at Liverpool, where, on Tuesday, white wheat was
worth 61 per qr. and red Is per qr. more money than
formerly.
I.,There has been scarcely any businms doing in flour
at the ports.
Maize has fallen another 6d at most places, but
with this fall the tone of trade has improved.
Beans and peas have slightly favoured buyers. Oats
have become firmer with a decrease in supplies, but
barley is on the whole purchaseable for rather less
money now than a week ago.
