ENGLISH MARKETS.
The Mark Lane E1press, IN review
the British corn trade the past week, says:
Field work has progressed satisfactorily, and
except in the latest districts the remainder of
the crops have been gathered, and something
have been done towards winter sowing. The
condition of the latter cereals is deplorable.
and the loss thereon heavy. Very little wheat
is yet ready to thresh. Roots tall far short
OF an average crop. Supplies of English
wheat at country markets are slightly
larger, and in some instances samples were in
rather better condition, but as rule the quail
ity indicates desire on the part of farmers to
market their inferior produce, which is cleared
more easily and probably during exciting
times. Finer qualities, where they exist, can
be safely counted upon to realize their full
market value whenever growers see fit to part
with them. Foreign wheat continues to reach
our shores in considerable quantities. Fridays

quarters, and with disposition on the part
Of holders to realize the upward movement
of prices appears to have been arrested. The
question arises: What proportion Of the fifteen
shillings rise which has taken place can be
maintained when the speculative movement
ceases and the more legitimate influences of
supply and demand are once more paramount
in trade Taking into consideration the enor-
nous resources of America. and the fact that
present prices of wheat at London are suff-

from all the wheat exporting countries in the
world, it appears most probable that safe
basis for future operations will be
reached when values have receded five
and six shillings from the recent
highest point. It would be too much to as
sert that prices must necessarily give way to
this extent, as trade closes in very sensitive
condition, and much will depend on the &C.
ton of America. But the opinion is uever-
theless offered that the reduction indicated
would bring values to safe position. Sales
of English wheat the last week were 35617
quarters, at 4ss Cd, against 5o,4s4 quarters, at
