The British Grain Trade.
The Mari Lahe Express review of the
grain trade TOR the week says: There has
been little change in the wheat markets
generally, which, with new produce, have
only been moderately supplied, the best
quality mostly maintaining its previ-
Gus value, while inferior has tended
downward. The general average is now
within six pence of last year, though the
amounts then sold were double those now;
but foreign imports being still free, the
country has been amply supplied at lower
rates. Flour received at Paris and fine old
wheat has risen a shilling per quarter.
The FRENCH markets generally have been
calm and unchanged, but in some, OF
the country places there las BEEN a
further decline. Belgium and Holland
have given way to new qualities at
about shilling per quarter. In Germany
the yield Is scarcely an average one, but at
odessa holders maintain prices greatly to
the detrimeEt of the export trade, in the
confidence that they will eventually be paid
for their patience as the season advances,
and the general deficiency is known. Still,
looking at the present yield as only an
average one IN quantity, and as from
this large deduction must be made
FORTS general lightness in the ac tual amount
OF flour produced say three-fourths of from
five to ten per cent. We may possibly count
on further deficiency of $50 900 quarters at
a time when our population is vastly on the
increase. We have no doubt that the I'M
ports will meet our necessities. but we ex-
pect as the season terminates it will be
close run.
The Weather and the Prices.
The weather is favorable for gathering
the hop crop, bringing the grain into fine
condition. la the market English wheat is
shilling per quarter lower than last Mon
day, and foreign from one to three shillipps
lower, according to samples. Flour is very
dull, irregular and lower.
