The brilliant aud forcing weather OF the past week has
greatly hasfned the maturing OF the crops con.
sequence poduced the usual effect prices Throughout
the country business has almost been brought stand
ana the email stocks Of old wheat remaining have been
sent rely TO market apparently with the full convic
uon that II must be the best policy 10 sell while such
range Of prices obtained. Opportunities, however are
not always at command and with willingness in many
cases TO abatc A. to 5s per Or from Mondays prices
many samples have been left in growers hands The
fact too That foreign arrivals have greatly increase
has keI nilers st more on The reserve; aud should
the present weather continue lower ringe OF prices
seems inevitable Scotland and the north have been
visited BY the like favorable change; and Ireland which
looks with certainty 10 an carly and poa 10 gath srng

Of the altered prospects, aud therefore her last
advccs Lave remained very irm but there Is DOUBT
as TO their elect on her prices 90 the change
known.
II IL somewhat surprising that France where the same
Ric weather has presacd should 80 little have given

which must be preparatory to q fail.
The fear Of new failure IN potatoes has instgatcd
inquiry on the part OF the Prussian government and
that traces OF the visitation only be found In
IlosteIn, Hanover and Holland. II Is therefore be
hoped that so heavy draught on the crop will
not be made tn the ensuing year OF late aud that the
next Will be OF general abundance and peace
