BRITISH CSIN TRADE

The losse—s—i.elt a.n.tl-1-ac—to—rs, who join
in the risk of buying cargoes of grain, are noir very
, serious upon wheat and grinding barley. And these
losses occa,conally resulting 1:1 fai'.ure, add a gloom to
the London atid ocher port inar!--ct.c, from which they
, would be otherwiie free. Moreover the hulk of corn
(wheat and liarley) arising is sufficient fur the emintry's
wants in a bad season. So much that now comes to
hand is reckoned as surplus, and conszvently it weighs
clown the trade in home produce, and so reduces the
farmer's profits, which are now very unsatisfactory,
good English wheat only making about 445. per qr.
At these figures it is dumper than most foreign sorts,
and indeed the margin of value between London and
Paris is nearly enough to invite shipments to France.
The present week's imports into the United Kingdom
of wheat and flour arelarge, say 257,000 qr Barley also
is in heavy supply; however, it is now so cheap that
on Wednesday 6d. to is. per qr. recovery in price'
occurisl, from the lowest sales of the Fast week.
The provincial markets have been generally quiet in
tone.

English wheat of lane quality has been in fair supply,
and the trade has mandested dullness, although full
prices have been maintained. Inferior samples, of
which the offeimga have been moderately good also,
have been, as a rule, unsalimble, except at Od to is.
per qr. reduction on previous currencies.
Foreign has been offered at unaltered rates, without
finding purchase.
Malting barley has maintained steadiness of tone
and value, notwithstanding the abnormally high range
of the prices now current.
. .

GasXl barley this —;;;r. is paying the farmer really
well,. and we may expect to see this cereal occupy in-
creasing eaea each year.
Grinding and inferior sorts of barley have been
heavy of sale, although offered at a slight reduction
on previous rates, and, the trade remaining weak,
prices arc still tending downwards at market.
Oats have been steady in some districts, dull and
lethargic in others, and, on several markets, curren-
cies have declined 3(1 to 6d. on the qr.
Maize, where offered for sale, has met with a re-
stricted inquiry. The majority of markets have been
slightly lower for this corn staple; at a few places,
however, currencies have been well maintained. At
the present moment the natural inclination of the
trade is downward, but the supplies arc so short that,
until further arrivals, a decided fall in value appears
to lack probability.
Beans and psw.s have met with a moderate demand;
is. per qr. decline has been the basis of operations at
many markets. At others the trade has been drooping,
but the value has not actually given way. For beans,
445. to +Ss. is now the London quotation. l'eas range
from 465. to 4tis.
Flour has been a remaikably quiet trade every-
where. No definite change of prices has passed over
the country, but here and there buyers have succeeded
in making their purchases at rates is. under previous
ruling currencies.
The Scotch markets appear to be even weaker than
those of England.
In cargoes arrived off coast, wheat is very dull, and
about is. per qr. cheaper. Maize is neglected. Barley
is dearer, abs. 3d. per 4co lb. t.q. has been paid for
a steamer cargo of I)anubian.
The prim asking are for wheat, Berdianski, 435.
New Coast Ghirka, 415. Odessa Ghirka (s), 415. Spring
and Milwaukee, 41s. 10415. 6d., according to quality.;
Winter, 435. 6d. Maize, American mixed, 365- bd.
Barley, 265. to 275.
