Eag 'isn cs.rs ana Grain a"'nt.
LONDON, July 30th.--The Mark
Lane Express says that wheat cut
ting is now becoming general, and,
judging from recent agricultural
advices, wheat seems improved
wonderfully in many parts OF the
country. The past mouths sun
shine has repaired the injury
caused by the rainfall of May to an
unlocked for extent, excepting in
districts where the drought was Sc.
we're, causing premature ripening.
The prospects for the barley crop
are variable and generally un
promising, particularly on the
lighter soil. The crop will be cer-
tainly light. Oats and beans PROM
Use fairly. The grain trade in
London and the provinces is de-
void of any special feature, but
prices are we'll maintained, con-
sideripg the proximity of the har-
vest. There is an under-current OF
steadiness observable and the
opinion generally obtains that
whether bought for consumption
or speculation, wheat at present
prices cannot do much harm to
miller or spectators. One strength
ening influence at work is the con.
tinued continental demand. White
wheat on spot and cargoes off
coast has been taken for conti-
mental account on the fact that
prices are stationary In the face of
liberal imports and the improved
crop prospects, is due In great meas
ure to this legitimate increased de-
mand. Arrivals of wheat cargoes
off coast, especially from America,
appear likely to be small for the
next few weeks, but as brilliant
prospects are entertained of crops
on the other side of the Atlantic,
the probability of an American
rise here Is more or less remote
with moderate arrivals at ports OF
call. Cargo trade for wheat Is
steady without quotable change In
values as the demand for the con-
tinent continues and helps to sup.
port prices.
