The Corn Trade of Europe.
-...,, From the Mark Lane Express, June 1911
With continuance of highly auspicious weather
the growing crops of grain have every where improved
In appearance still the reports from the agricultural
districts not of favorrbe character as could be
desired Wheat is said to be thin the ground in
many localities which has doubt been caused by the
ncessant rain during the spring months; it has also
1t is reported in some places, been good deal beaten
down by the heavy rains which fell about the 18th and
18th inst; but to the latter circumstance are not
inclined to attach much Importance, the crop not
as yet in sufficiently advanced state to receive injury
from partial Judgments it would however, appear that
farmers do not form very high estimate of the proba
BILE yield; at least the scanty manner in which thew
bring forward supplies would lead to that
That they have good stocks on hand is generally
knowledgedi still they seem by means anxious to
realize and the certainty of free trade early in the n
suing year to exercise less influence than might
be expected. How far the Withholding supplies NAV
prove right will depend circumstance s Of which, at
present, little can be known. The manner in which
crop may be secured the extent of future sun
plies from abroad and last though least the result
OF the potato crop will all and each have their inHu-
ence With the exception Of few vague rumors, we
have hitherto heard nothing to lead to the belief that
the disease from which potatoes have suffered so extern
sivey the last few years has yet shown itfe indeed
the plant highly favorable; it must however be
borne In mind that the symptoms Of the disorder have
not in former instances manifested themselves until
towards the end OF June. The Lent-sown crops of
corn and pulse though much improved since the close
of May do not promise to produce so well rs in mode
raely good seasons and on the WHOLE the opinion
now prevalent that prices of food will not for some
time be lower, appears to be founded on reasonable
grounds
The wheat trade has, since our last assumed a rmer
tone more particularly at those markets held towards
the close OF the week. at the time there has not
been much doing buyers having contcnted themselves
with purchasing only SO much they have required
for immediate wants
At Liverpool, Tuesday, business was not lively.
and sellers were on that occasion unal 10 to obtain
higher prices than the preceding week; subsequently,
however, the demand increased, and on Friday wheat
was quoted I'd per 20 lbs dearcr Indian corn which
had been temporarily neglected, in renewed re-
quest several purchasers of that article having appear
ed from Ireland for fine heavy Gaatz much as 37s
per 4S0lbs was paid
At Hull and Leeds on Tuesday there was not much
doing In wheat but the supplies being small at both
these places holders endeavored to obtain advance
AZ the first named town this did not succeed, but at
lished.
The advices from Bristol Birmingham, and other
large markets In that part Of the country inform us OF
an advance Of Is to Is per Or on wheat, with an I'm
proved inquiry

to have been restricted scale, and quotations Of
