THE ENGLISH MARKET.

The Mark Lane Express, in its review of
the corn trade of last week says: The po
sition of the grain trade at Mark Lane and
the prospect is decidedly strong, and vito
the turn of the year it is likely that con-
siderable activity will ensue. Supplies of
English wheat continue very limited and
though holders have not been able to OBJ.
tain higher prices, the tendency has Ger
tainly been in their favor. Imports of
foreign wheat into London have been more
moderate, last Mondays return showing q
total of only $4,000 quarters, the decrease
being due to falling off in arrivals Of In.
dian produce and the closing up of the
north Russian ports. The most noticea-
BILE feature Of the week has been the reviv.
al Of demand for wheat from country mill
.rs. who have purchased more freely at
the extreme prices ofthe previous week, and
on Friday At an advance of sixpence to a
shilling per quarter. A ste .dy continental
demand is observable as exports continue at
the rate Of 5000 and 8, 1000 quarters per week,
and fair outward movement invariably ex
e'cised hardening effect on prices. The
stocks of wheat in London are considerable
but consist of Calcutta and other hard varie.
ties. The prices of American and such de-
scrip,ions ~ are valued for their flour pro.
ducing properties has been in no wise de.
pressed. The increased country demand i,
the natural result Of the wants Of the coun.
try after deficient harvest. 1t is not un
reasonable to look for hardening Of prices
no that there is likely te be diminutior
of imports. There haye been numerous ar
rivals of maize cargoes At ports of call anc
there are more sellers than buyers, but 29s
9 @30s. have been paid Tor mixed Amer;
can spot. Arrivals Of wheat cagoes at port
Of calls have been 90 moderate and the de
mand steady that prices have been we'll SUP
ported Barley is steady, while maize, un
der the pressure of large arrivals, has rule,
in buyers favor.

THE RESUMPTION ACT.
According to Charleston special, Sena.
tor Butler, in an interview yesterday, de-
clared himself opposed to the repeal Of the
resumption act. He said: "The people Of

pensible to their substantial prosperity in
the future, and take it that this has been
brought about in great measure, by the
prospective resumption of specie pay

PRAcr1cAL JoxrNa IN NoRwAY.-The
presentation of Christmas gifts in
Norway is the chief diversion OF the
season, and in this many strange
customs are observed. Thus, in
some districts, the gift is hid in .
truss Of hay or straw, or sometimes
it is placed In q bag Of chat. The
donator then watches his opportun-
ity and slyly fixes the truss OF hay
above the door of his friends room.
When the latter enters the hay falls
on him, to the great enjoyment Of
the kindly conspirators, who arc
probably watching close at hand.
Then ensues an eager and exciting
search. The truss is ripped open,
hands thrust in and out through tho
straw or hay till the gift is found, st
which moment the donators eener-
ally disclose their presence BY
shouts OF delight and the expressions
Of good wishes for the season and
tho year to come. The bag Of cha4
il also . source Of endless and inno-
cent merriment. In it, fall from
