MARK Lane Express, July 5
The weather of the past week has been very
changeable, commencing with rain, and then
fine. while on Wednesday night and Thursday
there were violent rains calculated greatly to
hinder the hay harvest, which generally COM
nsenced; and we fear not little will be
damaged in condition and quality. It has
been too wet also for the wheat coming into
cir and bloom, as period Of calm is much
npw desired, and as we are approaching
tie period when heavy rains are common,
It'll looks rather threatening for the future
growers, too, it seems, have thought SO,
ass in spite of the resistance Of millers,
many places have established further
advance of Is, and some have put up
plices % per Or; and this steady, logged way
ismore likely to be permanent. Indeed, with
THE calamitous ftp is in France the improve
mhnts seems very small and the French mar
kdts have been less affected than might have
bAen expected, for Paris only notes rise in
fdur Of Sd per sack, and Is per Or in wheat,
arid few Of the provincial markets exceed this
eide; but Bordeaux has improved Is Cd per
qrl and very large business has been done
atl Marseilles on full terms, while Southern
Russia tells us that the recent rains have
come too late to recover the position of the
CROPS, which everywhere have suffered heavily
frdm the long drouth.
View York confirms her last report of poor
prospects by an advance of Is on wheat, and
Germany. with good prospects almost every |
where, is slightly dearer; so that any further |
calamities in this most eventful year would |
speedily change our present tariff and benefit |
growers. That the last harvest has held out /
we'll is seen in the last weekly sales, which |
were nearly double those of 1874, as those de- |
lissries also show that farmers are easily satis
fed by improved markets, and are not of that |
selfish race who withhold the corn till the
people curse them. In Belgium and Holland |
there has been little change, nor has there /
been any to notice in Northern Russia and
hungary.
Liverpool Tobacco Market for June.
Messrs. F. w. Smyth & Co. in their Liver
pool circular. give the following brief abstract
of that market for leaf tobacco during June:
During the first two weeks in June there
was rather more business done In strips and
dried leaf with the trade, and several parcels
of uAdried leaf were taken for export; since
them however, our market has been mani
mate; some 'es have been made from day
to day in retail way to manufacturers who
bought only what they wanted for immediate
use Prices for the better grades have been
firm,I while inferior sorts, being neglected,
weret nominally unchanged. Imports $40
hogsaeads against 1892 same time in 1874,
showing a marked falling of June receipts.
Deli teries 1901; stock 26, 94S against q, 94S

The Decline in Jnte.
New York Bulletin 10th inst.]
In|addition to the losses incurred by British
merchants in the silk and tea trades, in which
stterltion has been drawn of late, jute must be
added to the list of East Indian produce, the
valud of which has largely deprecated during
The past year or two. According to state
ment IN the London Times, of July 9th, the
recert fall in this article now brings it to the
lowest point yet touched, and in circular
issued by Messrs Barber Brothers it is stated
hat the market is in q very unsatisfactory
condition.
