The Mark Lane Egpaess saws The
ground is stillsodden from violent storms at
the commencement of the week, but since
Tuesday the weather has bceh in finees condi
ton. The potato crop will certainly ebes disap-
pointing. Even under favorable circumstances
a loss may be expected equal to millions Of
pounds sterling.a3 The ears of wheat are gen
orally small but mostly satisfactory and free
from blight! and yermin. The state of the
ground, however,is evidently unfavorable to
maturing Of grain in 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 wether may do
much for the wheat and something for the
barley. In other parts Of the country there is
!. SIS time for recovery, and more injury has
been suffered Oats appear to be i'm better
condition than wheat and barley The mark
cts which. were active early il, the week be-
came comparatively sluggish with the fine
weather. The wheat trade has not been seri-
ously affected by advices from foreign bust
ness and shipments of American exports for
the United Kingdom are rather heavy. The
quantities of grain now at sea and the supply
of American here are somewhat reduced.
The imports during July were good, but not
at all above the country's wants. Wheat is
about a shilling IA quarter higher than the
previous week, but with this Improvement
the impetus in favor Of a rise appears to be ex-
hausted. English white wheat ranges from
so to IS shillings per quarter, alta large num-
Der of country markets, compared with As to
81 shillings per quarter before the improve
ment commenced Samples of red wheat
which were Evainly. offered at 40 shillings
per quarter a. month ago, have
recently sold at As shillings;
The finest lot of reds have not made SO great
improvement. Samples which were quoted
at As shillings per quarter at the beginning of
July are now quoted at So shillings. Trade in
foreign wheat has beenifairly brisk at many
markets. The, total absence caused the .ad-
vance to be confined within modern limits.
Grinding barley has been firmly held and q
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 it
generally improved six pence on the. week
Imports, into the United Kingdom for the
week ending July 10th, S65,633 hundred
weights wheat and 15s O79 bundled weights

fish wheat was held for full prices, but inquiry
was inert Foreign was rather depressed
owing to the large suppl Of New Zealand and
Australia, Heavy merchants were willing to
accept a shilling per quarter {" cline. Ameri-
