The Mark Lane Express. of London, in it's weekly
review Of the British grain trade, says
Advantage has been eagerly taken of the few days
Of Inc weather to commence cutting wheat and bar

have been cold and occasional frosts have in some
cases, damaged unripe grain. Provided there is no
disastrous return OF rain some samples of
wheat may be expected in few days. few samples
of barley have already appeared in the country
kets. but nothing of any consequence. In Scotland

shipments from American Atlantic ports. The
great want of confidence existing in the wheat

fine their purchases to the smallest possible
limits. The weeks business has been very light and
prices fuctuated but little. though under the
pressure OF heavy supplies that little has been in
buyers favor, but not to the extent OF more than
sixpence per quarter. Dull. however, trade has
been, the condition of rise is not wanting, and,
having regard to the requirements of the several
European countries for another cereal year, the
American surplus will probably be alb
sorped at range of prices more profit
able than the present, both to shipper and
merchant. The sales of English wheat last week
amounted to $3.50 quarters at ass 3D. per quarter
