The Corn Trade OF Europe.
From the Mark Lane Express, June I41
The question whether the potato crop has or has
attacked by the disorder Of the last two seasons
must confess that the little hitherto known the sub
ect, has not done much towards deciding the point
The appearance of the plant to the eye certainly heal
hy the haum and leaves look green and free from dis
ase and, judging from external evidences should
pronounce the crop perfectly sound 1t seems however
hat upon closer investigation made by parties possess
the requisite qualifications to examine the matter
symptoms of incipent disease have been
therefore, easily accounted for Admitting, however,
exist in which the .potato manfests the
appearances it did at the corresponding period
year. does not necessarily follow that the
rucon of the crop to the extent then occurred
must follow and should be very cautious in drawing
general differences from particular As regards
grain crops, the accounts universally favorable.
Spring corn, which last week beginning to show
signs Of want of RAIN has been greatly benefited by
the recent showers though the fall which has taken
place in the temperature has to certain extent check
ed vegetation the only ill likely to result from the cold
weather f it do not continue too ong would be that Of
slightly retardng the probable period Of the harvest
The which took place at Mark lane in the value of
wheat Monday and the fact that the deliveries from
the growers have rather fallen off than increased have
caused holders Of the article to raise their pretenson
and though purchasers have confined their operations
to narrow limits has been consistent with their
pressing wants material advance has been established
well at the leading consuming towns ut the
principal markets in the agricultural dstrcts.-
Merchants millers and dealers have now pro-
badly secured sufficient to carry on their respective
occupations for limited time and it is therefore not
unlikely that temporary calm may succeed and some
reaction again occur, II nothing should meanwhile

At this season of the year steadness in prices can
scarcely under any circumstances be expected and in
the present position of the country great fluctuations
more likely to occur than usual The evident short
Of stocks must cause greater degree of mpor-
to attach to the result of the harvest than in
ordinary seasons; whilst the extraordinary high value
Of wheat renders it the susceptible of important
depreciation to give decided opinion Of the probable
future range of prices further than from week to the
next would be venuring dangerous ground Hitherto

the weather will from this time until the crops are
gathered, have SO great an influence to render
opinion of very little value. Though variety of cir
cumstances from day to day tending prove that
the quantity Of homegrown wheat remaining in the
kingdom is unusually small still the public appear to ad-
here to the opinion that hold largely To any
one practically acquainted wl'n tho trade 1t is difficult
to conceive how such netor be entertained but

readers the which have convinced us that the

the year 1t may, however be worth while to draw
tenton to the enormous falling of in the quantity Of
wheat sold at the towns making the returns for comp

returned against 1878 quarters in the correspond
ing week of 1916 Surely this could hardly If the
farmers were not really short of wheat. The sudden
rise which took place in prices in the English markets in
the of the week. caused higher rates to
be asked for wheat at the principal towns in Scotland
and Ireland but in those countries well as with u.s.
the enhancement demanded has been reluctantly paid
md the character of the trade has not been lively any
part of the kingdom.
The arrivals of English wheat into London have been
decidedly short only 225l quarters having been report
ed up TO this Saturday evening. The quantity exh
bited Mark lane by land carriage samples from the
neighboring counties has been still triAng; and
the leading markets in Essex and Kent have been
poorly supplied 1t would appear that shall look

sack -four The nsignihcance of the supply of home
grown wheat has precuded the possibility of large ope-
ratons but the business done both Wednesday and
Friday at fully high prices those obtained in
the beginning of the week. The supplies from abroad
have been a fair extent namely 6 44 quarters but
the long expected Mediterranean feet has not yet
rived and the antcpatons OF more liberal receipts have
certainly had the effect of dampng the ardor of purcha
sers. The market well attended, as well on Wed.
nesday Friday by country buyers; they appeared
however to be disappointed at the prices asked and
many returned home without making purchases. The
amount Of business done has therefore, been of compa
ratively little Importance; holders the hand de-

most unwilling to pay the enhanced terms of Mon

The advance in the value Of flour has been very
reluctantly complied with by the bakers and the meal

likewise been taken slowly, and in rather
less money has been accepted for secondary qualities
The receipts Of barley have been quite moderate only
1858 quarters having to hand inclusive Of 1890
quarters from abroad the supply has nevertheless
proved fully sufficient for the demand The finer kinds
