Of ihe month we sball probably have sam
lples Of the new produce at some Of tn
markets 10 the southern parts Of the king
dom. The trade 10 grain hiss, consider
ing the critical position Of the Outstanding
crops, reiapsed Into rather quiet state,
the inclination to enter into speculative
investments of wheat having evidently in
great measure subsidized. The primary
cause Of the check 10 the upward move
ment IN prices has, undoubtedly, been Inc
increased deliveries from the growers -
Since the recent advance, the farmers
have brought their produce freely to mar.
ket, aud within the last fortnight supplies
have greatly exceeded the demand.
The arrivals of wheat coasiwlse into
London have been very abundant for the
time Of year. and there was larger show
oil samples a, Mark lane on Monday than
we almost ever recolect seeing at the
corresponding period in former seasons.
| The Essex stands we're actually crowded,
and there was besides more than usual
offering from Kent, Suffolk, aud Norfolk,
with some cargoss from Lincolnshire -
At first the factors refused to give way in
prices, but finding millers resolved 10 pay
former terms, they ultimately consented
TO coaccde 10 an abatement OF rs per
quarter, Notwithstanding which large
proportion of the supply remained on
hand al the close of the business. On
"Wednesday there was not great deal
fresh up, and some further progress was
made in the disposal of The surplus guam

duclion; and on Friday aud Saturday,

tful, sellers also ref0sed TO take less mo-

inquiry has b. en extremely slow through.
out the week holders have refrained,
however, from pressing sales, and the de-
cline has not been so great on fine Dant-
Zic and Rosiock wheat as on English. -
Bonded parcels have been held nj very
nearly former terms, though the chance,
OF a very low duty have certainly dimn-
lshed. Spectators have, however, oh.
served great caution in their operations,
and comparatively few bargains have been
closed, either IN parcels on the spot or
floating cargoes. After remaining at the
maximum point for many months, the
first fall occurred in the duty on Thurs
day; and we may expect i, to recede
another step next week. At lss, how
ever, there is a rest 10 the scale; and,
unless fresh impetus be given to prices,
any material decline below that rate
seems still somewhat doubtful. Flour
has been held firmly at he lately en-
harced terms, but the bakers have shown
determination to use UP their old stock
ere making further purchases, and the
contracts entered into have not been i'm.
pottant since our last. With oats the
market has been scantly supplied; the
ArchangeI arrivals are, however, suppos-
ed to be near at hand, and as some guam.

ed il prudent to act on The reserve. On
Monday secondary qualities, particular
v out of condition cargoes, OF foreign,
were sold tride below former rates /;
but neither then nor since have really
fine ostS, whether Of home or foreign
growth, been parted with at less money.
The absolute scarcity Of beans and peas
in all the markets Of the kingdom, has
enabled sellers TO realise full terms, and
the duty on both these articles seems
likely to be very low.
August Is.
There was an immense quantity Of
Wheat from all the framing dIslIicls at
our marker to-day the arrivals Of home
produce exceeding 1000 quarters. THIS
large supply, added to the more fsvora bile
weather for harvest work, caused the
market for all kinds Of English Wheat to
b. very heavy, and though the factors
were very firm, they were compelled to
submit to reduction of Is TO 2s per quar-
ter below this dsv week, and even then
the market closed heavily. The FIRST
parcels new Wheat were off rel to-day.
The quality was bv no means first rate
the weight CO., to 81 h. per bushel, and
the price asked from Gas 10 70s per quar-
ter. Ia other articles in the trade there
was no change.
LIVERPOOL, August Is.
The weather here IS again very rndif
(erent for harvest purposes. Saurda!
was dun and cold. Yesterday the same,
with occasional rain and TO day is de-
cidedly wet day. AS we have now pass
ed the mIdde Of August, II has become
almost certain that pr, of our harvest
will be sacrificed. An advance IN prices
must certainly be looked for in The Lon.
don market today. and consequently IN
onr own Tomorrow. The accounts from
the country this morning speak rather
unftvoraby Of the crops, and more par
ucularly as regards Wheat.

During the past fortnight, though the
Temperature has continued low, and con-
siderable quantities of rain have fallen.
yet, on .he whole, the weather has not
been quite SO unfavorable for the crops as
