The GRAIN MARKET IN ESGLAEp--rHE cnors-FoREreE
ATOMS ErcThe London correspondent Of the New
York Commercial under date OF July 81 writes follows
Since the date OF our last report the fluctuations in
grain market have been unimportant Saving marked
decline in Indian owing large expegancies and the

turned against them by some unforeseen event But now
every week will probably develop fresh topic OF in

country worked down TO low ebb, and shall be
