Anotlie'f*eek's highly f tvourabla weather, with
some refreshing rain, has brought the, country,
after a period of vat, anxiety,_ to the ve,kesierge of
harvest. As reapectS wheat, opinion gathers A
stiength—notwithstanding some real abatements -L-L
much exaggerated—that it will be rather over an
average in this country. Reports are still more
decided from all parts of France as to there being
a great crop on the grouni., Nor are thees cheering
prospects limited to our-elves or our neighbours.
tis the same in Spain, Italy, Algeria, Egypt, the
Principalities, and Southern Russia ; while all
America confirms the prospect of plenty. Sou-hem
Europe too his favourably commenced, hut the
great bulk awaits its maturity and final ingat hering.
Let us hope that in Britain, as well as in every
part where human wants are felt,- all will be safely
stored. Still last year's heavy and continued rains
remind tea of possible changes, whde the universal
deficiency of stocks is convincing that old wheat
must be scarce, and in gre it demand fer mix zite.
What the difference of value %sill be, as compared
with new, it is impossible to foresee ; but the best
samples seem likely to be relatively dear. There
is, however, some abatement already to be madefrom
the prospective increase. The new crop of Rye in
orthernEurope, from its ea rlinesa an d long exposure
to easterly winds, is deci 'edlyof iuferior qu li y and
defective yield. As this is the mein depend- nee of
the poor, a large void will have to be made up by
other cereals, which have tea where so good a pro-
mise as wheat. The good appearance of grain has
everywhere told upon holders, who have been more
ready to clear their stocks, though some country
markets have still gone short. Independently of
supplies, prices have retrograded, and a decline of
fully 3s. per qr. has been generally conceded. In
France, where the range has been relatively higher,
iates have become greatly reduced and quite irre-.
gular, and all over the continent the scsle leis been
descending. America has kept comparatively firm,
havieg taken the first and b ist opportunity to quit
her surplus. In maize afloat there have been about
ten cargoei quitted at prices varying, from 335. 6d.
to 365. per qr., chiefly from the Danube and Odessa.
One cargo of Syrian barley has been placed at
225. 3d., and one of Odessa. at 255. Two or three
cargoes of Egyptian beans have also been sold at
355. to 353. 6d., with one for Liverpool at 355. 9d.
The sales noted last week were 75,9e2 gra. wheat,
at 635. 10d., against 70,249 qrs. last season. The
London average was 675. sd. on 1,560 qrs. The
imports into the principal ports of Great Britain,
in wheat and flour, for the week ending July Bth,
were 57,659 qrs. The month of June's imports of
wheat into the United Kingdom were 313,640 qrs.
and in flour 91,977 cwts.—ifara Lane .Express.
