has been on the whole tolerably fine. The
crops are progressing favorably, but it is un-
reasonable to expect the plenty or quality
Of last year after a nearly sunless July and
such a heavy rainfall. So they have found in
France as far as they have gone, aud flour has
risen four francs per sack in Paris. The bulk
Of our own harvest is yet uncut.
"SOme OF our country markets have hesitat.
ed about submitting to any decline, though
generally it reached one to two shillings per
quarter. Large speculative purchases have
been made in London on American account.
The London market closed with an improved
aspect and an upward tendency, which must
be swayed entirely by the weather. There
certainly seems quite as much chance of q rise
as a fall"
