ENGLISH MARKETS.
The Mark Lane Espress Of Nov. 10,
says: Except in few cases the harvest Is now
secured In England. In the Scotch uplands
cereal crops are still being harvested, mostly
In an unripe state. The Scotch harvest, how
ever, will probably be terminated In week
or ten days. The farmers generally avail
themselves of the favorable weather for field
operations. The recent uncontradicted esti.
mate of this years crop shows that it will
be necessary to import 18,0O0,OoO
quarters of foreign wheat Doubtless
with every allowance for possible exag-
geratlons the crop is desperately bad.
The Mark Lane and country markets have
been dull with liberal arrivals from abroad
Prices have fallen shilling for all descrip-
tons of wheat. There was not much pressure
to sell, but the enormous visible supply in
America and the uncertainty as to the actual
extent Of the surplus available for export
thence caused q pretty general abstentlon Of
buyers. Until something more definite Is
known trade must feel its way cautiously. In
certain quarters q strong opinion prevails that
wheat will prove remunerative even at pres
snt prices. Doubtless adecllne of few shillings
will bring number of speculative buyers.
The arrivals at ports of call have beenlarge.
Early in the week wheat of coast declined

but subsequently prices rallied six pence to q
shilling per quarter. Maize is In fair inquiry
