ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF GRAIN.
LIVERPOOL. july ia leading grain
circular, in its review OF the week, says:
.sAt most Of the British wheat markets
prices are shilling, and in some one to two
shillings, dearer for the small quantity OF
homegrown brought forward, while foreign
has generally advanced shilling per quar-
ter. The tone of the markets is more steady in
cargoes " OIL coast" and for those OF near ar
rival prices have been made which were pre-
viously unobtainable. It would seem that
the scarcity of native grain must cause
considerable aud increasing demand upon
the supply at out ports until and some time
after the actual realization OF the harvest"

THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE GREEK CHAMBERS
AND ITS EFFECT UPON THE EASTERN CUES
TON.
LONDON, July 13.-The adjournment OF
the Greek Chambersis believed to mean
that the King, with the aid Of British infu-
ence, has gained the ascendancy over the
war party, and for the present, at least, up
prehension of Greek participation against
Turkey will not be realized, as the partici-
patton Of Greece would undoubtedly have
been a further complication OF the Eastern
situation. This result will be welcomed by
those who have feared the failure OF at
tempts to localize the war. On the other
hand, it is probable that the friends
OF Russia, especially the British Libe-
rails, will see in the attitude OF Greece
a further step OF the British Cabinet
in the direction of antagonism to Rus
STA. They will argue that as the Candris
Ministry was formed purely for the emer-
gency, at the demand Of those who desired
the anti-Turkish measure, the adjournment
OF the Chamber without action must have
been induced by very forcible representa-
lions on the part OF England. It is highly
probable that British influence has been
strong support TO the peace policy of the
King, but not necessarily in sense hostile
to Russia, and possibly without the know
for Greek action has hardly arrived yet;
