zinc Antl-Rent ,rorement IN II

a'S.i SSc "htoHk idIneIS, ana Lle recent
antl-rent movement is gathering great
strength. Many large meetings have
been held in different counties by tenant
farmers, all looking to the same end and
making the same demand-fixed tenures
and cheaper leases. Land owners protest
against reduction, but farmers declare
that it is impossible to pay the rates now
charged, and announce that unless their
demands are granted large numbers will
emigrate to America.

The English Grain Market.
LONDON, Sept 30.--The Mark Lane En-
press says that the condition of new grain
has not improved 10 any appreciable ex-
tent. Threshing has made but little
progress, as most of the grain already se-
cured is in all unfit state, and some week
must elapse before offerings of new wheat
will show any material increase. 1t it
pretty generally admitted that the wheat
| crop of the present year will be about
80 per cent below the average. Home
requirements between now and next
! harvest may be expected to absorb sixteen
or seventeen million quarters of foreign
produre. Neither mangles or Swedes can
be the average crops, and the turnip crops
generally presents wretched appearances
Potatoes III many localities are not worth
| the expense of lifting.
| Dat fields i'll Scotland are still green
and night frosts have prevented barley
from filling out, while cool, dry weather
is urgently needed to check the spread oi
the potato disease.
From South Ireland rather favorable
reports are received as to the oat crop
which it appears has suffered less than
any other cereal, both in the United
| Kingdom and on the continent.
The descriptions of foreign wheat i'm
proved fully two shiliings per quarter
making a total advance of about seven
shillings from the recent lowest point
| The cause of the rise has been present
for some weeks past, but the effect has
been delayed until recently, as millers
hung back as long as there was any posi-
bility of the home crop turning cut
more fa7orably than had been predicted
Such possibility no longer exists, and the
fact suddenly forced itself upon the minds
of buyers, with the result recorded al
above.
