BRITISH CORN TARIM.

The test of the markets is yet on the side of those
who believe in a seriously defective crop; Not all
the glorious heat of August, for 28 days out of the 31
above the mean temperature, has made holders des-
pond. If they have given way at times the reductions
have not been serious, and as close observers of the
markets on the London and country Exchanges, we
do not detect sellers losing confidence.
In London on Wednesday business was very in-
active, for wheat and flour, value nominally stationary.
Maize fell to 335 per qr., and was neglected. Oats
steadied in demand at Monday's rates, 215 to 28s for
dye usual samples. The Scotch markets were quiet.
Flour sometimes 6d reduced, and new Scotch barley
and oats were easier to buy. At Bury St. Edmonds
wheat was is dearer.
The week's imports of wheat and flour were about
300,000 qr„ and of maize over 100,000 qr.
At Liverpool it is found that the stocks at the end
of August were of-
-1975. 1‘74.
Wheat 625.700 qr., against 291,278 or.
Flour . 206,000 aka „ 23004 elm
„ • • .. 34,000 brit „ 94,511 brio.
But whilst harvest topics arc in every one's speech,
too little notice is bestowed on the large fleet ships
constantly off our coasts. For many weeks we have
had immense supplies, and still there are now 46 wheat
cargoes, six barley, three maize, and nine cargoes of
beans arrived on sale at ports of call.
Really these supplies amount to, or promise to make
shortly, a bulk equal to the deficiencies of our home
growth?
The prices for cargoes are from 471 to sfs for
American and Russian wheat; for white Canadian,
565; for maize, 335 6d ; for barley, as ; for beans,
375 6d • for rye, 31s ' • peas, 435.
'The London stocks at the end of August are doubled
of wheat from the end of July. Barley, oats, and
flour are also considerably increased, still the quantity
is not excessive.

Foreign markets arc reported slow, and those of
France remain inactive at the last fortnight's decline.
On Thursday, at Bristol a fair show (4' new English
wheat, quality and condition variable, but very inferior
to the crop of last year, and prices ruled about the
same as on Thursday last. Foreign arrivals again
heavy, and the trade quiet at rather over recent
currencies. Barley Gd per quarter dearer, whilst Indian
corn is pressed at a decline of is per quarter. New
Irish oats per steamers, are in liberal supply, and
realise about last week's prices. Beans and peas
unaltered. Arrivals :—Wheat, foreign, 16,922 qrs. ;
oats, 348 quarters Trish, 2,731 foreign; barley, foreign,
9,195 quarters; maize, foreign, 2,952 quarters; flour,
foreign, 93 barrels. _ . _ .
