garrison in Roumelia and Bulgaria have beer
ordered to march to Herzegovina. The insur.

The Mark Lane Express, in its review OF
crops for the past week, says: The unsettled
weather has been very unfavorable for har.

the higher temperature has put the wheat in
some danger OF sprouting, while its condition
must necessarily be unsatisfactory.
The London market from the constant ar.
rivals of foreign grain has not shown activity
or upward tendency. The Paris market has
felt some reaction and rates have given way
one shilling to one shilling six pence per
quarter 1t now seems confirmed there as
we'll as here that neither samples nor quantity
