From the Mark Lane Express, July 81
The unsettled weather experienced in the early part
of the week and rumors Of the spread of the potato
disease gave rise to great deal of unessiness in
gard 20 the future and predictions Of scarcity and
high prices were freely circulated till within the last
day or two. The suspicious change which has taken
place in the weather since Wednesday has however,
had the effect Of allayng the excitement and less
gloomy view is already beginning to be taken Of the
probable result Of the harvest.
The principal cause of the recent rise in the value
Of wheat was undoubtedly the apprehension enter
tanned in respect to potatoes; and we have conse-
quepty epdeavored to obtain as accurate information
to the real of that crop possible. To speak
with certainty to the extent of the probable loss by
tn. disease OF out of the question: but after
dgent inquiry, have come to the conclusion that
the alarm naturally caused on the first discovery OF
the disorder has asioned the evil likely to result to
be somewhat over-rated. That considerable pro-
portion Of the crop may be lost is fear more than
probable; but there several redeening circum-
stances The breadth planted was great; the produce
to the is generally admitted to be very arge the
late or main CROP not wholly free has as yet been
but very partially attacked and lastly, the disorder
does not appear to be spreading rapidly the
case in 1916, many fields which exhibited symptoms
of the disease eight or ten days ago remaining in much
the same state the blight not having extended and
the plants which then appeared sound still wearing
the same aspect. We are therefore induced to hope
that the loss may not after ALL be serious as at the
FIRST blush was apprehended.
Since the rain has ceased the cutting of wheat has
been commenced; and should there be no return of
wet, reapipg would be pretty general next week We
believe that what ventured to say last week in
gard to the probable yield in Essex, Kent and many
Of the southern and western counties, namely that
the produce to the win fall materially lshor of
that of last year will prove correct but this will We
think, be compensated by large return in many of
the eastern and northern counties; and with favor
any material deficiency A great deal must still de-
pend on the weather, both regards grain and po-
tatoes; and to speak positively as to the range Of
prices for week in advance would be the height
of folly.
At all the markets held in the early part of the week.
high prices were asked for Wheat; but subsequently
something like check has been given to the upward
movement, showing the effect of only few days sun
shine.
At Liverpool ON Tuesday, good qualities of Wheat
brought 4d to Cd per 70lbs. more than on that day
se'nnight, and other kinds of grain, well Flour
and Meal, rose in value.
On Friday, there was an evident unwillingness on
the part OF buyers to follow up their purchases not
withsanding which holders remained firm and the ad-
above noted supported The rise in the price
of Wheat has been important in the markets in
the agricultural districts than at the leading consuming
towns, owing to the scanty in which farmers
have brought forward supplies That they have still

causing rise in quotations and Wheat was quoted Is

also held at enhanced terms.
The general character of the accounts received from
Ireland in reply to particular inquiry relative to the
state Of the potato CROP ia such to create alarm
In the neghhorhood OF Limerick the disease appears to
be rather prevalent but from most other parts OF the
island. the advces on the subject are Of decidedly
encouraging nature Large supplies of the article were
coming into market the price low, and the quality
generally good hence, Indian Corn had been in less
request and the demand for Wheat has also beer n
terered With by the extra consumption Of potatoes
The arrivals of Wheat coastwise into London have
not been by any means large, and the quantity exhi
bited at Mark Lane, by landcarrage samples from the
eghboripg counties, has been very small, the late
rally in prices having hitherto failed to induce
to bring supplies forward more freely.
The tone of the trade has as is usual at this time Of
the year, been Influenced by the state Of the weather
