The Mark Lane Express says: The
ground is still sodden from violent storms ut
the commencement of the week, but since
Tuesday the weather has been in fine condi
ton. The potato crop will certainly be disap-
pointing Even under favorable circumstances
Il loss may be expected equal to millions OF
pounds sterling. The ears OF wheat are gen.
orally small but mostly satisfactory and free
from blight and vermin The state of the
ground, however, is evidently unfavorable to
ma uring of grain i'm the south of Holland and
north of England. The harvest is not likely to
commence before september, and there is thus
time during which improved we her may do
much for the wheat and something for the
barley. In other parts of the country there is
IS time for recovery, and more injury has
been suffered. Oats appear to be in better
condition than wheat and barley. The mark
cts which were active early in the week be-
came comparatively sluggish with the fine
weather. The wheat trade has not been seri-
ously affected by advices from foreign bus
ness and shipments of American exports fer
the United Kingdom are rather heavy. The
OF American here are somewhat reduced.
The imports during July were good, but not
at all above the countrys wants. Wheat is
about shilling quarter higher than the
previous week, but with this improvement
| the impetus in favor of rise appears to be eX-
| hausted. English white wheat ranges from
80 10 ST shillings per quarter, at large num-
Der of country markets, compared with 45 to
81 shillings per quarter before the improve
ment commenced. Samples of red wheat
which were vainly offered at 40 shillings
recently sold at 48 shillings
The finest lot of reds have not made so great
| improvement. Samples which were quoted
at 4S shillings per quarter ut the beginning o1
July are now quoted at 81 shillings. Trade in
| foreign wheat has been fairly brisk at many
markets. The total absence caused the ad-
vance to be confined within modern limits.
Grinding barley has been firmly held and O
slight advance usually occurred. Oats have
been saleable at about six pence improvement
and inquiry has been fairly active. There has
been good steady demand for maize and il
generally improved six pence on the week
Imports into the United Kingdom for the
week ending July 10th, S65,65S hundred
weights wheat and 153,079 hundred weights
flour. In Mark Lane to-day IN sndayl Elg
lish wheat was held for full prices, but inquiry
was inert. Foreign was rather depressed
owing to the arge supply of New Zealand and
| Australia. Heavy merchants were willing t.
accept a shilling per quarter decline Ameri
can red winter held for full prices. Barley in
fair request at six pence to nine pence advance
Oats, firm. Maize, fairy active at shill, ng
per quarter advance Trade in -four quiet bul
] prices well supported.
