distress has prevailed in agricultural districts
owing to the severity of the weather. which Il
now, however, somewhat ameliorated. Worl
has been almost at o standstill and crops suf
fered severely from the frost Some Of the lane
| intended for wheat is still unsown. Young
wheat has scarcely begun to show itself il
England, but on the continent the appear
ancc Of growing crops is very satisfactory

market was somewhat better. but deliveries
are small, and notwithstanding it's defectiy,
condition many samples have been advanced

tendency. Foreign importations still contlnu,
| liberal, last weeks arrivals In London and Liv
erpool being over 154,O 600 quarters, but despit,
these imports, the tone here has been unques
tionably improved. There has been some de
| sire to speculate in wheat, but business fo
consumption Is chiefly confined to the imme
date wants of country millers, others not wish
ing to increase their stock before the holidays
