The Mark Lane Express weekly re-
view Of the corn trade says; Rain
has indefinitely postponed much au-
tumual sowing In England, With
bad condition of samples and con-
tinued large imports, many markets
are shilling cheaper but farmers ARE
reluctant 10 accept lower rates, even
for poor samples. When foreign arrl-
walls slaGken, rs soon as they must,
and rents are paid, better trade ut
more remunerative prices seems likely.
II appears that French reports have
been too favorable. No sowing has
been done In some districts. This has
hardened the price of wheat IN Paris
and the provinces, although -four is
somewhat cheaper.
