Tdß 0 OEN TRIXII.
(Fr, m tie Mari...one Erprir.)
The weather of the past, week has been again of
• Ireacherous character ; now and then full sunshine, and
most smart showers, anything but propitious to the hmrvegt-
big of the grain. As might be expected, there are already
eomplainta of sprouting and mildew, and the mew samples
that have hitherto appeared do not favour the impression
that we have either a good yield or quality. With snob a
retching time on prime so low, sod the country in • perfect
Mato of alarm about the cattle disease, it is not to be ear-
prised that we are able to note • further advance of
fully 2s. per quarter on the average, and some
places noted doubly as mach. But the rates
hitherto reached have only • moderate range, and
as the British farmer dueler the cotton famine was
feeding the haßeterved Lancashire moo pertly at his own
expense, now that the American war is over,-some reenter
ration for mut capital and fruitless Labour seems his dee.
Should the cattle dismiss reach to the height of • national
visitation, there is no question but a mush higher range of
prima would net m ; but, as extremes of all kinds ass de•
motive and injuries, we hope the threatened scourge will
find • remedy, and that the grazier, as well as the termer,
will be righted in the end. Foreign accounts too much
with our own, as to &deed', and injured crops, to
Fr much expectation of a return to very low price'.
ranee, Belgium, Holland, Germany, some parts of Russia,
and Southern Europe, all tell the same tale, -and prices gem-
rally have risen. With more-samples of new exhibitedetl'eris,
some dolmas has appeared ; but in the country prices have
piaed ground, and all along the Baltic there is a different
range-Dantsio holding, as we expected, for fully 4s. per
qr. more mosey ; and although aliellee in gold at New
York has been followed by • slight reduction in brielituffs,
the facts of Western failure and Southern discontent show
that the Uni or rather Federal States will be • rig
uncertain in ease of extremity. The arrivals
' off the coast sines the 11th Angustwere 81 cargoes, of which
40 cargoes were wheat, 21 maize, and 17 barley. Bushiest was
dope as follow', viz. :-20 cargoes and 1240110qm Ghirga
wheat, at 38s. U. to 42a. ; hard, at .495. to 41s. ; nee
ditto Marianopoli, at 381. ; one ditto Berdianide, at
Ca t one ditto Banat, 40s. ; one ditto Bourses,
at 38e. 6d. ; one ditto Salosica, at 40s. ; 16 ditto
and 6,000 qrs. maize, at 245. to 30s. 64. ; Moe ditto
barley at 19.. lid. to 21.. 9d., and 1 ditto rye, at 235. 6d.
per qr. The odes noted last week were 53,311 qrs. wheat
at 424., against 76,701 qrs. in 1864. The Loudon avenges
were 48s. 3d. on n 064 qrs. The imports into 14
kiegdom
for the week ending the 12th August were 433,766 vita
wheat, 68,861 owe. flour.
Monday in Ma:lrian° began on small English, but good
lonise arrivals of wheat. The show of samples during the
morning was limited, with a good portion of pew, in damp
condition mostly, sod of poor quality. This was generally
neglected, but lies old sold slowly at an advance of la. to
2s. per quarter, there being no improvement cm Friday's
rates. Foreign was in better demand. and Russian qua.
I lair were fully 2a. per %tarter dearer. Floatieg cargoes
were held at Is. to per quarter improvement,
with a fair demand. On Wedneadity there were
260 qre. per carat, 2,690 qrs. foreign. The business of thin
day, with doubtful weather, was very firm for fine old
wheat, but dull for new and damp samples, with prices
much as on Monday. The foreign trade was very steady,
and full prima were demanded for all fresh end goadmo-
ditiosed qualities. Friday's returns were 310 qrs. per mad,
3,940 qrs. foreign. The morning being remarkably fine,
there was evidently tome slackening in the trade, and to
have forced sales either of old or new wheat would have
caused some decline. Foreign holders found little inquiry
at the high prices demanded. There was an average
supply of country flour on Monday, bat scarcely any
for sign. All country qualities were Ia per sack higher.
Barrels being previously dear, only improved Cal..
Freoeh sacks ls., and the top prim of town-
made ma raised to 43a, the rise being Is.. after
remaining two years at 40s. On Wednesday there
IMO 180 masks per Gout, 720 seeks 16,330 bevels
foreign. More money was again asked for eountry quali-
ties, but buyers were cautious end reeerved. Barrels were
very firm from the seucity, notwithstanding meat imports.
Other foreign was unaltered. Friday's gmatilies ca.teimi
were 1,210 seeks, with 720 Backe 6,3 bands foreign. ilia
was • dull day, buyers objecting to the high pretences of
holders, and the latter being very confident and firm in
their demands. There was very little English barley
at Mark-lane on Monday, end- the foreign arrivals were
small. Malting qualities sod all heavy Billie advanced
la. per quarter, and the lower descriptions of anodize' win
improved Bd. per courser. Oa Wednesday Mere wore 30
quarter per coast, 350 guanaco linage, without much doing;
low sorts were fully as dear, as maim the better qualities.
Friday's returns were 30 qrs. coastwise, 1,550 qrs. foreign.
No improvement could then be noted is the valued Baltic
samples, but holders of Black Sal qualities were asking 6d.
per qr. more mosey. The malt trade was rather dearer on
Jimmy, say tally la. per qr. for fine sorts, from the doubt-
ful state of the barley crop. The week closed with prices
very firm. Though the supply of oats from the United
Kingdom was scanty, there were again heavy foreign arrivals.
The unfavourable state of the weather gave an ;inward
turn to pries' to the extent of fully 6d. per qr. no all
descriptions, and in fresh qualities there was a felt sale.
On Wednesday them ware 140 qra per mast, no Irish,
33,720 qrs. foreign. Netwitkistandieg the liberal sup-
ply, the doubtful character of the weather oo a doll:Mot
crop rather enhanced the Team of Ranieri sorts. Friday's
retures wens 320 qrs. emstwise, 36,410 gra tondo. There
was the, leas buoyancy in the trade, but RUMBA delay-
, loos were generally held at fall prime, though Swedish
and Danish qualities were no dearer. There wore very few
English beans reported on Monday, with only • small (men-
' tity of foreip. The crop having greatly improved through
the late raise, there was only • Imams in this grain. Toe
week closed with tome indications of improvement. Bat
few peas of native growth were exhibited on Monday, and
only a moderate quantity of (mien. The trade was fell
priced, especially for fine new sad foreign white hollers. All
descriptime were fully as dear on Friday. There was •
heavy arrival of limited reported, bat without any cheap
of value, either in seed oe cake. PAC's at the week's end
were unaltered. The weather being unfavourable to the
seed harvest, more firmness ems mimed in cloverseed
and trefoil. Winter tares were more plentiful, and scarcely
supported previous rates; but rapeseed, mustardsesd, sod
Comfy were fully as dear. With very catching weather
in the wintry, and farmers meetly busy ia the fields,
supplies of wheat were scanty, and prime were geserally
2e. to 3s. per quarter dearer, and io some instances rather
mere than this was paid ; but with the price, as it were,
turning with the trade, but little reliance could be placed
on any market. Liverpool, though excited oe Tuesday,
was calm on Friday. Spring oars was again rather 14ber
through the country. At Glasgow, wheat was la 6d. to
2e. per boll higher ; oats, 6d. ; barley, beano, and pore,
Is. Edinburgh was la. to 2• per gamier dearer for wheat,
and somewhat improved for cat.. At Dahlia there were
more buyers of foreign wheat at Is. per barrel adverse*.
White maize rose 6d. per barrel, sad foil prices wire paid
for old eats.
