France but Belgium and Holland. Our gen

Monday in Mark-lane opened on a small
supply OF English Wheat, but with unusu-

Australia. The show of fresh samples was
limited, but included about 500 qrs. of new,
of but inferior quality, worth from ass to
33s. The weather having become splendid,

English factors found difficulty in making
sales Of old, at decline of Is. per or.
The foreign trade, throughfthe immense ar

The weather continuing fine, the business
in English wheat was dull and limited, al

quiet trade, at previous quotations. Fri

fair condition. but the quality, as rule,
proves disappointing, and we also hear
many complaints from the growers with re

From Dambridgeshire: although the
universal absence of sunshine all through
this season has continued this week, the
weather since Saturday has been highly
favorable to harvest operations. Reaping
