We Gull from our London dispatches the fol-
lowing review Of the corn trade for the past weak
by the Mark Lane Express: THE weather.
though broken, has been on the whole tolerably
hne. Crops are progressing faYorabIy but il ia
unreasonable to expect the plenty or quality of
last year after . nearly sunless July and such
heavy rainfall. So they have found in France
as far as they have gone, and -four has risen
francs per sack in Paris. The bulk Of our own
harvest is yet uncut. Some Of our country mar
kets have hesitated about submitting to any ds.
cline, though generally It reached from to 2
shillin2s per quarter. Large speculative pur-
chases have been made in London on American
account. The London market closed with i'm
proved aspect and an upward tendency which
must be swayed entirely by the weather There
certainly seems quite as much chance for rise
as for fall"
The week opens in the District markets With
trade we'll sustained in the improved tone of last
week, and with prices generally unchanged.
Grain, coal and lumb=r continue the leading
features Of the heavy trade.
The arrivals Of wheat to-day at GEORGETOWN
aggregate $50 bush. Arrivals Of canal grades
Of -four, $50 bbls. Sales Of $500 bush. old wheat
at Sl.4s9L551%.
The coal trade is almost steady. The main
causes Of occasional Interruptions and restrfctIons
in the volume Of business have been water breaks
