The European Grain Trade.

LoNDoS, Aug p 1.-The Mark Lane Express,
in its weekly review OF the British corn trade
saws: 1.-THE weather, which aweek ago ap-
peared adverse to farmiug interests have for
tunately been undergoing inspiriting change,
varied by some heavy storms. In the MIDI
land counties it is gratifying to find some
districts where the yield OF W heat is said to
exceed the average There are, OF course,
exceptions, but not numerous enough to
counterbalancet localities vi here the def
cheney on an average crop is reported. Still
ii appears evident that the poor WELD of 1876
will be exceeded. Putting it in figures, we
consider that IL 900 900 or II 900 900 quarters
will about represent the home growth this
wear Barley will be scarcely ready to cut
till the end of the month, but with fine
weather until then, the advantage will be on
the side OF the crop, which has considerably
improved under the recent rain and has filled
out the ears in promising manner. On
Monday last the first samples of the new
English wheat was exhibited at Mark Lane
just fortnight later than was the case last
wear. Very few sales have vet been made OF
this years produce. as growers held tor fancy
prices, which BUYERS have been indisposed to
give. Some indication OF future values will
probably be shown this week, W hen increased
arrivals will no doubt attract purchasers
English wheat and anticipated shipments
from America have caused trade III Mark

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.

ST. PAUL, August 90, 1877.
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS
With some exceptions in regard to special
commodities, trade in produce has remained
quiet. Small receipts are to some extent the
cause OF the comparative inactivity, as buyers
are frequently compelled to wait day or two
before their orders can be filled. There is
every prospect of an extra fall business, and
it is known that the northwest will be an
especially liberal customer of goods of nearly
all kinds, except grain. The mining and
numbering interests will also make large de-
mands upon the supply OF agricultural pro
ducts, but the pineries demand for goods will
not be felt for some time. The market prices
of products have tiuctuated considerably, as
will be noticed below.
FLOUR-In this article there is very little
change to note. Many mills are shut down,
partly because OF low water, and partly Tor
lack of good milling wheat, millers disliking
| to take the risk of new wheat until 1t is thor
oughly cured, and the old crop being almost
entirely exhausted. Only moderate bust
ness has been done Eastern orders have
temporarily fallen of, and the home demand

Handsomely Done.

AT the Grand Opera-house last even

cipient OF handsome floral git a mag
uificent Tyre of exquisite flowers, sew

ing little actress was called before the

said: "Miss E lsler, on behalf of the
members OF Cincinnati Lodge. No. 8,
Benevolent and protective Order OF
Elks, tender you this floral offering as
slight token OF our esteem and re-
gard for you, not on as an artlst, but
as a lady who is all honor to her pro-
| iessiOn."
Miss Ellsler with great simplicity and
feeling, replied:
"Mr. Thayer, l hardly know how TO
thank you. the Society of Elks, or the
cltiz ms of Cincinnati, not alone for this
beautiful testimonial, but for the kind
appreciation tUey have shown OF my

thanks, and TO all extend them, not only
on account Of myself, but on behalf OF
my parents, who were once we'll known
to the pubic OF Cincinnati. l bid you
all kindly gooG-night."
Applause after applause rung througl
the house, every one heartily uniting
| with the Elks in the regard and admira
! tion that prompted the compliment.
