ENGLISH GRAIN.
The Mark Lane Erpress in its view of
the British corn trade for the past week, says
the weather has been less showery than dur
ing the previous week, but has not been sat
isfactory either for the threshing or securing
the crops, as it has been dull aud damp with
temperature rather high. Dry, breezy days
are now urgently needed as there is still some
wheat to be cared for, while large proper
ton Of barley is still standing Cases Of
sprolting are frequent owing to the moist
atmosphere. Considerable disappointment is
felt, especially in Yorkshire, where q quanti-
ty Of gram is lying exposed to the weather
In other di. riots aryFst operations are much
protracted. Recent advices from Norfolk,
which is am important barley growing coun-
try, stated that fully half Of the CROP was stln
| in the fields and it is feared That the grain
has already become too much diseolcred to
render it available for mailing. Such wheat
as was secnred before the rain set in, more
particularly the earliest gathered, is very fine
Scotch aud Irish reports complain of broken
weather, which prevented securing the crops.

been fair both al Mark Lane and the provin-
eial markets. Prices have favored sellers for
all dry lots, but as only small proportion OF
samples Offered have been in anything like

deal of firmness and business to some extent
was checked thereby. Increased attention

J past ten days, especially to fine old Russian

no market rise can be anticipated in the i'm
mediate future, in view of the large ship
MT nts from America and the tendency which

still it may not be too much to say that the
enormous requirements of this country may
be pretty confidently relied on to absorb sup
plies at range of prices a little if anything
below these now ruling. In the London
market another point to strengthen trade
! lies in the fact that even should imports of
wheat from American Atlantic ports increase
Russian supplies win necessarily cease as
soon as her ports are closed by winter. The
business consequently rests upon legitimate
commercial basis, independent Of fictitious
support either OF a political or speculative
character. In feeding stutfs rather mora
business is passing. Grinding barley has
risen shilling per quarter frsm the recent
lowest point. Maize is also rather dearer,
but with continued heavy imports both into
London and Liverpool, the upward movement
has made but slight progress.
