The Mark Lane Express this week in
its review ofthe British corn trade, says the
aspect Of tho wintersown wheat plant gives
rise to no complaint, but its too rapid deyel-
opment may render it more sensitive to the
action Of the frost later on, In the present
scarcity of roots and winter fodder the wealth
or and greenness of the pastures are favorable
for stock farmers. The approach Of the holi-
days has exercised the usual quoting effect
on the grain trade Business has been confined

ports from India show NO diminution, while
export movements continue fairly active, and
healthy in tone. In the market in maize,
