The Corn Trade OF Europe.
Il From the Mark Lane Expr-rs sept. 20 PM
Very little change haoto X. place in the general
tone Of the grain trade since our last; the belief
that the yield Of wheat is short is almost uni
sersa, and it is consequently deemed certain that
we shall have higher range Of prices during the
next twelve months than we have had since the
harvest OF lS49. This opinion does not appear un-
reasonable; but at the same time, We cannot agree
with thoee who calculate on any material advance
on present rates. 40s. to AS. for red, and 45s to
Dls per or. for white wheat. are unquestionably
low prices, in this county, with short crep as
that just secured, and will not, We feel convinced,
pay our farmers; but the terms named will give
The foreign producers good return, and we are,
lhertfoie, likely TO have large and regular supplies
rom abroad. The average price Of wheat for
he United Kingdom, during the year 1919, was
As od. per Or, whilst in several of the months
.hsn the imports were largest, il was only a
racuon over 40s. per or; hence there was
lot much encouragement 10 ship TO this
country; still 3,s72, sos qrs. of wheat and
3,4o3 VI cwts. Of foreign Hour were imported into
peat Britain. Ii may, perhaps, be argued that
he crops abroad are not 80 abundant this as they
we're last year, and that therefore higher rates will
pc expected by foreign farmers than those which
iaiished them when they had larger weld 20 the
lcre; and this may, TO certain extent, be true;
put we are inclined 10 think that any dehciency
which there may he in the produce of the CONT
lsni OF Europe will be more than balanced by the
Aut CROWN Ot hmcflcs, ana tAat the competition
set~een the shippers from thence and those Of
Europe, to supply England, will keep our markets
bUndsntly hlIed, even If quot ATOMS here should
OF go higher than they nov
Within the last day or two, we have had a
haEge Of weathsr, and some showers have fallen
;ain was be ginning TO he much wanted for tur-
ips; and, as httle or no corn now remains abroad,
Ven in the most backward districts, a further
uIIly OF moisture would do good.
The farmers have thrtshed wheat pretty freely,
NJ the supplies Of spring corn have hitherto been
-fllng. The complaints Of the yield NJ wheat from
ne straw increase, and farmers generally express
lemselves disappointed with the result OF the har-
est. Wheat Is decidedly short IN quantity, and
ot nearly Of such good qualify as lsst year. Barley
no, so deficient as wheat, but tne samples will
e very rare. or cats we hear fewer co nplants
nd we believe that both on this side Of the ch in-
et and in Ireland, thus crop viii be better than
| ither wheat or barley. Beans have given q very
ad return, aud peas have proved almost failure.
'ototoes btve escaped better than was at one time
xpected; bur, owing 90 the fact that ia very many
asrs the growth OF the tuber ceased at the time
ne haulm was attacked by disease, the yield will
til materially snort Of what Il Otherwise might
ave been The quality IL better than IN any season

| The wheat trade has reen more firm than brisk
lil buyers have manifested a disposition to in
Fesse their stocks, and sellers have been less dis
bsed 10 prese business. AT several Of the markets
the agricultural distric,s arpt ndent on the grow
rs for supplies, the value OF wheat has crept up
bout Is per qt but AT some of the ports on the
| naSf, where the arrivals from ABROAD nave betn
bers, fall 10 nrafly that extent has taken place.
Harvest having been hn he'd ia scotland, Tep ,rts

-ncipsl counties, from which u appears IN AZ the
Jury done by the storm which occurred there ia

AIRED; still, on the whole, The northern farmers
ave less reason TO De dissatisfied than their south
n neiehbors. The wheat trade was firm al EdIn-
neh and Giasgos y on "Wednesday, and prices had
a upwa-d tendency.

The arrivals OF wheat coasiwi.e into the port st
ondon, have been to about the same extent this
eek as during the eight days preceding; 3 sBi

rv ard since Monday by lend carriage samples
Jm the home counties, and the tirIn tone then
tumed by sellers has since been maintained. ON
rednesday, the Essex and Kent stands were near
bare, whilst the offers from Binconshire and
tmbrdReshire were by no means numerous; the
lnsactons were, therefore, of uece ssity, unmper-
at, but the few sales effected were at rates fully
high ~ those current in the beginning Of the
