Crop Prospects.

The MdrE Lane E:rpress saws: The
growing wheat has generally not been
seriously compromised by the late incle-
ment weather and if the hopes of speedy
change are realized, the check NAV not
prove to have been injurious, and the har-
vest, though late, may yield fair return,
Wheat looks tolerable healthy, though it
is backward. Barley, despite the very
inactive provincial trade in London Of
6ne samples, fully maintained the late
rates, but the arrivals were small The
imports of foreign wheat up to Friday
were 43, 760 quarters. Millers, during the
week, bought on merely q retail scale,
because of the increased frmness of hol-
ders, with still considerable visible sup
ply 10 America, and the shipments from
northern Russian ports. The trade 10, {
much of its buoyancy, but prices are un-
changed, except for spring American
descriptions, for which holders accepted
rather lower rates for ex ship, sooner than
incur landing expenses. The business
was further restricted By the holidays
relative to fodder. The best maize sup
ported last weeks advance. The best
oats have risen similarly. Barley and
beans sold slowly at former rates. Peas
were rather cheaper in consequence of a
large supply, and oats are only moderately
promising. The prospects Of the hay
crop arc far from reassuring. The agri-
| cultural prospects in Scotland are by no
means promising. Cereals are sickly and
yellow, even in the most aud favored dis
tricis. Grass is very backward, The
deliveries Of wheat by farmers at provin-
clal markets have again been liberal as
compared with last year. showing the
reserves to have been underestlmated, or
else they are due to the pressing need Of
money, which is felt ia agricultural cir
cies. The condition Of the wheat offered
was improved, as al average. The price
advanced eight pence per quarter.
