London letter published in the New Yorh
Financial Chronicle contains the following In

Financial Chronicle contains the following in
formation regarding crop matters:
The probability Is that our imports of Russian
wheht In the coming season will not be very
large. They will not be ineonsiderable. but 1t
is doubtful If reliance can be placed upon Rus
shall require. The crop In the northern prov
inces Ia likely to be a small one, owing to q pro-
traeted winter and subsequent drouth In the
south, however. the crop Is said to be excellent.
The German, railway companies however. are
unwilling to lower their charges, so rs to allow
Il cheap and quick exit by way Of Konigsburg
and adjacent ports. and conse luenty frser
shipments will be made via the Black Sea-. But
If Russian and Greek merchants discover that
the needs of France will bs considerable land
wheat will be largely absorbed at Marselll s..
and the expense Of longer journey to this
country will be saved. Beside which, 1t Is the
opinion that Spain. Portugal and Italy will also
be compelled to import. and 1t Is. therefore. OBJ
vlous that the Mediterranean markets will be
larger absorbers Of Russian produce In the
coming season. and that Great Britain will cer-
tainly have to look chiefly to America for sup
plies.
Bad trade leads to an augmented consume
subsistence In adverse times. The accounts
from the manufacturing districts arc still very
unsatisfactory. the stoppage OF mills being very
frequent. Judging from present appearances
the prospect for next winter Is very dlscnurag-
ing, and 1t Is quite possible that II the weather
should be severe there will be much distress.
Good bread can now be obtained tor lid per
pound. and beside it being possessed Of great
power Of nutrition. 1t has also the great advan-
tage Of being cooked we'll: quite ready for con
sumption. But, In addition to an augmented
consumption arising out Of the commercial dis
tress which prevails. more bread Is likely to be
consumed, owing to the dishsartening reports
which are received regarding the potato crop.

The Boston Post OF the sixth instant. says OF
the dry goods trade:
So far as cotton goods are concerned the lend
Ing staples are well sold up, and prices remain
firm without any special activl y. But In the
several departments styles which open In July
such as gtnghams prints fancy dress goods,
etc, there Ia steadily increasing movement,
which Is likely to continue without abatement
for a month or six weeks to come. Buyers OF
cotton goods would like to take advantage of the
late sharp decline In raw mat. rial, and might
probably have been able to do so to some extent,
II this had occurred earlier In the season, Rut at
this late stage they are prevented from doing So
not only by the immediate and pressing egt-
genoies OF consumption. but by the unusually
close relations OF supply and demand. Hence
the present and future course OF raw cotton is
an element which scarcely needs to be taken
into account In buying or selling goods for the
business season already entered upon.
The market for print cloths has been more
active during the past week, With the wants OF
consumers beginning to press and finished
products selli1R to a fair extent. The stocss Of
materially reduced, and hence the market Is
flrmar and holders refuse to sell at prices lately
current The sales of spots and futures for the
week foot up 500 pieces. mostly at Lice for

per cent off cash. The stock OF spot goods at
all points has been reduced to 10000 pieces. OF
which 2G4, 900 are at Fall River. whore the sales
for the week have been $4,000 deliveries 1D7 900,
and the production 81 900 pieces.

There Is ~ continued heavy business In petro-
eum in the producing region. This is evident
from the shipments. which are ranging from
40 900 to 10000 barrels per day but prices are no
better, and. what is still more diseouragtng.
there Ia not likely to be any immediate improve
ment In this particular. The production con-
tinties heavy estimated by the OIL City Derrick
Mt 10000 barrels per day during the month OF
July. and. this being the case. the visible sup
ply must still be accommodating notwtthstand-
ing the consumption is large. as 1t usually Is at
this season Of the year. aud producers generally
have given up all hopes Of obtaining any hing
like remunerative prices for their product this
year. There Is a continued fair export move
ment In refined. but 1t continues to rule low In
sympathy with the raw article. The exports to
foreign countries from January / up to date
show a large increase as compared with the
same time last year. and the indications are
that the quantity required In 1879 will exceed
that of any former year in the history OF the
trade, but the business is unsatisfactory, not
withstanding the refner occupies better POSI-
ton than the producer Of the raw article.

The New York World says the movement of
gold to this market from Europe has begun.
with the first supplies ordered from Paris. The
shipment appears to be undertaken simply as
an exchange operation, and the amount already
offered f. over 100000. The price Of French ex-
change warrants the operation. and sterling is
very close to the same point; 1t remains to be
seen how these facts will be received in Europe,
and whether they will affect our OWE exchange
