day. Old wbeit is Is. per p., sold new 2.1. to 3s. per qr.
lower than Luit week. Little or nothing doing in spring
corn.

READING, AUGUST 14.—The market today we, suppHed
wish wheat ow s very moderate scale, but In the depressed
state of trade la wee fond to be even more than sollioient,
and though pekes bad a downward tendency, we do not
think purrion quotations ntenrially altered. Several iota
of new barley on offer, some realised 40e. per qr. No change
in other gram.

ROCHESTER, AUOVIIT 14.—The recent brilliant weather
has been taken advantage of by the farmers, and the greater
wt of the harvest is already garnered in excellent condition.
With hare and there an exception the wheat harvest is already
completed in this distriot, sad throughout the Weald of Kent
generally. It is many years sines there has been such an
early harvest. There haa been an abundant yield of wheat in
this locality, the quantity being fully up to the average of
former years, although the crop is not so large as that of bet
year, which was, perhaps, the most bountiful on record.
Barley, generally, will not be a large crop, the late-sown
giving a comparatively poor yield; the quality however, is
very good. Oats are a pretty good crop, and oome down
before theacythe well. The dry weather in the early part
of the summer very mach injured the beans, siblch
is this neighbourhood are an entire failure. Peas,
too, are a poor crop, and will not yield one-
fourth the average supply. Turhipe have proved a
failure in many places. Reports continue to come in from
the eurroundinc hop plantations of the promising appear.
ante of the hops, which still appear vary healthy. The
burr stands out strong, and looks of a good colour; unless
any sudden change should take place to affect the plant the
crop is expected to be a very fair one. There has bee
scarcely any fluctuation In the amount of duty, which Is
still quoted at 260,0001. The corn exchange was only thinly
attended in consequence of farmers being so bogy in har-
vest operations, and the samples of wheat placed
on the stands were not_otinieroim. Some parcels
-"--•

of new wheat were exhibited in excellent- cm-
Mod The trade ruled -very heavy, and there
was but little indinatica on the part of millers sod
buyers to operate to any appreciable extent. The demand
for both Eoglish and foreign wheat was very languid, sad,
where melee were done, a reduction of about Is. per quarter
bad to be conceded, with a dull trade. In barley there wit
nothing doing, and quotations are nominally the urns. Bens
and peas exporienoed only a limited sale, but oats were M-
ildred after, and fully supported the rates of iut week;
some new samples were shown, end the quality of the yen
was the and heavy. The following are the quotations:—
White wheat, 42a. to 485.; extra, 48a.; old red, 40r. to 44a.;
extra, 48s. ; barley, Ha. to 845.; oats, 245. to 283.; buss,
40s. to 48s. ; peas, 445. to 48s.

Wieuxcit, Axiotriv 14.—We have a very small market
ben to day as might be expected, the farmers being ao much
st4with their harvest. Old wheat of beet quality
leat week's prices ; a few samples of new showing,
y various—then will be some fine, but nothing tits the
quality of last year, 445. to 451. given for red and 455. to 471.
for white, 63 lbs. A sample of new oats here, value 14d. per
slaw Other pain nominally as bake*.
WORCESTER., A001:78T 14.—At this day's market there
was much bas wheat offering, and owing to the cheap la
the weather all qualities were held firmly for fully last week's
currency. Barley dull, and rather (deeper. Oats unaltered
in value with len doing. Beane and peas maintained the:
value.

Tons., Acucar I4.—With a tolerable show of wheat at
our market to-day, old wheat was To. cheaper; new was
slightly on the decline, with a fair demand; good white
samples mold at 465. to 605., and red 475. per quarter. No
raaterial change in the price of barley. Oats fully main-
tained the prices of bat week, selling at Is. 3d. to le. 4d.
same. Beans were scarce, and dearer, good simples
47a. per quarter. The farmers have been fsvotned-7al
another week of Ike weather, which has enabled them to
stack a considerable quantity of wheat, in good condition.
Reports vary about other kinds of grain, but, generally
speaking, indifferent crops ere =pasted.

KINICALDT, An OUST Vt.—Tie weather continued brilliant
up till Thursday, when we had eowelight thunder showers,
which have been succeeded by warm 'allay weather. In the
earlier districts harvest is now eneral, end daring the week a
considerable breadth has been_ cut. At oar country markets
this week there were fewer farmers present, and less grabt
offering, which was readily taken off at rices similar to
those of week. Hers, to-day, there wee a good supply
of wheat, and fair of oats. Wheat met a ready sale, while
oats sold slowly—the former at 6d. to Is. and the latter at Is.
' under the rates of last Saturday. There was one wad of
old barley, and two of new. The new was in rather tear
condition, weighing 62}lbs. and 601 be. respectively, and wee
sold at 261. 6d. and 235. 6d. per. qr. Whs..; 355. to 475. par
qr.; barley, old, 28s. ; new 23e. 6d. to 265. 6d. ; oats, 24e.
to 26e.
