BRITISH.
The continuance of line weather in the southern
and central portions of the British isle. has enabled growers
to secure the great bulk of their cereal produce, the latest
gatherings being in very fine condition. The general
damage done early by the heavy rains, so far as soul de-
crease in the bulk is concerned, may be estimated by all re-
ports which have reached us at only • moderate percentage
on the tuba yield ; though perhaps about a third of the
entire crop is so much deteriorated in condition u to render
it necessary to he kept till after frost for improvement, or to be
sold early at some sacrifice. The late,hlgh prices have, there-
fore, been so far serviceable to the country, as that they
have secured • fair portion of foreign wheat for mixing
with our damp new; end as America herself now reports
the exhaustion of her 1855 crop, end other countries es well
as our own are pretty nearly in the same condition, this
seuon's produce of the whole world must sales for its want.
till the next in gethering. Bat the deficiencies of some
countries seem likely to require all the surplus of more
favoured regions. Very low price., therefore, in such a
state of things, with • population progressing at such a
ratio, might place us in danger by improvidence. While
the south of England has been favoured with • return of
settled weather, Scotland has at beat found but • catchieg
time; and herb has consequently been impeded,
though little damage of Importance appears to have yet
d. The first reports of the country markets g Ily
signified • further decline is the price of new wheat; but
many of them, even with lower prime show a better tone,
with a certainty of value not before exhibited; while some
of importance, as Hell, Birmingham, Landon, and others
held on Saturday, note an advance. Balancing the different
reports with better data for accuracy than before furnished,
it would appear that the English wheat crop is at least an
ge ; spring corn, with the exception of barley, seems
fully so. The basinees in floating cargoes has been mods•
rate. Gialetz wheat bringing 46e ; Wallachian, 435. 6d. ;
hard Odessa, 48e. • middling Marianopoli, 60s ; Ghia*,
68s. to 61e.: Bereleanski, 625. to 62a. 6d. ; and Odessa maim,
335. 92. per qr., coat, freight, and insurance.
The last week's sales &notated to 80,368 cm., at 73a. 2d.
undue 79,282 qrs. last season. The London averages ars,
for 3,101 qrs, 70e. 3J. The imports into the principal ports
of the kingdom, for the week ending September 3, in wheat
and flour, were 145,014 qrs.
Monday's market commenced in London on fair supplies
both of English and foreign wheat, chiefly from Rosie.
Though the morning's supply from the near counties was
not large, and 'Linnet all now, a fair quantity being left
over from the previous week, there was a good show on the
stands. Ihs settled character of the weather having greatly
iefiuseced country markets, a further decline was neces-
sarily submitted to of fully se. on the best dry new, sad
several shillings more on the push out of condition would
have been taken, hut they were not quitted ; old was about
3.. cheaper. The failure of condition on much of the first
gathered wheat brought up many buyers of the low de-
scription of Russian for mixing, which acocrdingly soli
feeele at a reduction of 2e. to 3.. per qr.; fins quelities,
being held high, were neglected. On Wednesday there were
390 qrs. per tout, with 840 qrs. only foreign. No further '
decline was then experienced, but rather a better
sale found for the over-left samples of the previous market.
On Friday the quantity coastwise was 1,630 qrs., with
7,360 qrs. foreign. Influenced, it would appear, by the
advice. of several country markets, as well as by the C3iib
de ration that the fall is price had been 'mune, there was
geaerally a confident feeling on the part of favors, and
needy buyers had to pay le. advance on English, and le. to
2.. more on Russian qualities, the but kinds being firm.
Monday's arrival of flour from America was consider-
able ; from the country the supply was fair. There was •
better tons about the trade than on the previous Friday, at
the then dicier,* of 2.. on Norfolk.; and town millers re-
duced rates of the first fiber to 60s. The boat American
Ming scarce, was hardly cheaper; hut inferior Forts, which
were plentiful, were le. to 2s. lower. On Wednesday the
quantity coastwise was 310 sacks, with 1,210 lids. from
America. A general firmness was evinced on the pert of
bolder', and Norfolk. were held at more money. On Friday
the coast supply was only 420 sacks, with 7 240 brls. Nor-
toles then found a brisk inquiry, stocks being low, so that
2.. to 31. more money was realised for secs, and occa•
tional:y barrel' brought Is. advance.
Witt but a moderate supply of foreign bsrley on Monday,
and • limited arrival of our own growth, tee ab,ence of a
demand for malting—occasioned by the earliness of the see
son and the high rates lately demanded—made all descrip-
tion give way in price Is. to 2s. per qr., with bet little
Inds at the reduction. On Wednesday the quantity was
60 qrs. from Ireland, the foreign being 950 qrs. With this
limited supply the samples were generally neglected, and
to effect sales must have been lower. On Frider the total
per c, act was 550 qrs., with 20 qrs. Irish, and 1.440 qrs. from
abroad. The little English then showing could only be sold
by accepting Is. to 2s. lees per qr., and low lunge was tally
2s. cheaper.
Malt, on Monday, was very much neglected, with a down-
ward tendency in prion, and has remained with a very
limited inquiry.
The oats exhibited at the stands on Monday wen chiefly
Russian, the supplies of which were wit heavy, and limited
of all other sone. Business, therefore, bad more tone ; sod
roe siinally fine mules realised 'trifle over previous rates,
with lion nets on the part of holders for other sorts. On
Wednesday tee moldy consisted of 70 qrs. per coast, and
320 qrs. foreign, when the sales made were at telly the pre-
vious rater. On Friday the total supply was 120 qr.. per
coast 200 qrs. lust Inland, and 3,220 qrs. from abroad.
All coast,
well supported previous rum while stout
corn conannaded rather more money.
Beane and peas came to hand on Monday but sparingly.
The new simples of both were remarkably sound. Tee
limited business dune, especially in beans, was fu.ly at the
former quotations ; end though blue peas were catered at
tower rates than usual at so gulp a perioi, those for pig
feed were firm. Not oticeable change a tuned later in the
week, excepting that the tendency of beano was decidedly
upwards, from an increased inquiry on limited supplies.
The improved demand for oil and cake made linseed full
priced and in request, the arrivals from India being but
moderate, and very little as yet coming from Russia. As
trio lateness of the harvest in the Baltic ;laces tits crop
there in danger of frost, and the crops in the neighbourhood
of Odessa are deficient, the prospect of a great reduction in
prices seems very distant, and the market was maintained
throogh the week.
New tares being more plentiful, were 6d. to Ir. cheaper.
White mustard also bring abundant, declined '2.. 6.1 per
bustle', with much unsold. Csnuy was rather more is
favour. Seed rye firm. In cloverseed and trefoil Lathing
passing. Hetet:aced, rapeseed, sad other descriptioas
showed no variation in value.

ham occasionally eace. ded them by le. Noll closed 2.5.

from lf. per beet. (2e. 3d. per qr. English) at Bordeaux, to
31. 34c. (7r. 6d. per qr. English) at Coulommiers (Seine it
Mar*, where farmers were pressing their samples on con-
tinued good supplier. Fine wheat was scare, at Marseilles,
sad Havre maintained prices in the midst of the general
roducticn. _ _ _

Altar 'season of prolonged drought, torrents of rain had
fallen at Algiers' without ceasing. This weather hal 'in-
vented the Arabs from bringing their customary supplies,

100 kilos.

The Belgian markets were very dull and lower, with
every indication of a further serious decline. At 14 iIIOVO the

rye for delivery was firm.
At Berlin the weather had varied, but on the whole was
Ike. Little was doing in corn. Rye, slur some fitictua-

Heavy oats were in request, but light ones were pressed on
the market. Wheat was quoted 461. to 6.5 e. per qr.
Vienna prices of wheat are rather easier, go tattoos being
42.. to 495. per qr. for old, new 631. 6d. to 77P. per v., the

and quality very superior. At Penh, in Huogary, wheat
was fully Is. cheaper, and dull. Noise unchanged. The
prices of wheat at Trieste/ had not bother declined, though

supplies, the advance or, wheat being 2s. to 4.. Gd. per
quarter. No foreign business was tranoacting, with the
exception of one sale of soft Tanubien wheat for the

of the French commissariat, to the ext.nt of 6,000 quarters,
as well as of hard wheat from Asoff and Samsoun, and soft
from the Danube.
