from the Mark Lane Express, Jane ILL.,
The pas, week, like its predecessor, opened
very roughly, and the gallo Of Monday has dcne
exposed situations. The continuance Of heav5
rains, with much cold, has also kept all cereal.
in an unhealthy state, the yellow appearance Of
the whent plants giving little prospect OF aonn'
dance, or IN early :thcring. Hitherto We
have only had one week Of steady summetlke
weather 10 make up for the unusual severity
and backwardness Of the spring, The crop o.
wheat. lndepcudeully Of its weekly aspect, is
very thin in places, and Our dependence on ~.
ture foreign supplies seems to increase rs the
season ADVANCES. Large arrivals are indeed
now expected from the Mediterranean and btack
Sen, Potatoes give still less promise. Scarce
lr any growth bus been made during The t'ast
fortnight in the strong soils, which appear chill

cided change to warm dry weather, the rentwAl
of the disease seems unavoidable stormy and
cold weather has been experienced also IN the
Baltic, and u.l!and has suffered much; atd
great complaints have come from France. IN tho
southern parts Of which wlieat u getting into

rising FULLY IL to 3 per or. in this country, and
larger transactions hare taken place in London
thaa for some tune past, there having been con-
siderable purchases on French account. The
Paris market has become quite excited, aud
quotations from more distant countries cannot
now be depended on, though previously too
hiph for the british ports. The crops in Soa,ll-
ern Europe are still fayorably reported, but it
must be remembered that these are the very
countries most in wait; and it is only Egypt
that in case ct need Gun send on abundautlY its
interior produce. Nothing, therefore, but fine
weather is likely to stop q further advance in
prices, which tor last years detective harvest
