Extracts from the Mark Lane Express Of

The past week was pre faced Nv unusual
storms and heavy rains, esuslng much de-
struction in some localities, flooding the low
lands, and even interfering with railway traffic;
while, although there has been a rapid sub>i-
dence of the waters fine weather is now want
ed 20 make these lands available for the pillow.

promising than it did, and the damp has shown
itself in most Of the samples OF new wheat.

without much doing, and a; Vienna the wheat
trade has been firm, but inactive Odessa has
not vet abated her high preteItions, but at

while in New York there has been an advance
in the rates, now too to make shipments to this
country payirg concern. Our own weekly
deliveries are still about 5000 qrs. less than
they were IN 1874, but the averages are Il I'd

As usual, America and Russia; but the fac: that
the East Indies have sent so largely, when pm
