LONDON, August a-The Mark Lane Erpress
in its weekly review of the corn trade, says:
The cereal crop Just reaching maturity has been
saved BY fine weather. We may yet have q mod
crate harvest in good order. The upward move
ment has stopped and prices have relapsed, partly
In consequence Of foreign arrivals, which are unu
suslly free, but current rates scarcely reach the
average and are still below those Of last year.
The harvest In France is progressing rapidly, but
general reports indicate less than . fair average
yield, although In Paris and MsrseiIles prices
have fallen two shillings. The Belgian and Ger
man markets show similar change. OhicisI ac-
counts Of the crops In Austria and Hungary show
there is more likelihood Of deficiency than \
surplus"
