BY telegraph we learn that the Mark
Lane Eapress Of last Tuesday says agri.
cultural adviees in Great Britain are
still most discouraging The quantities
of wheat and barley still afeld are de-
teriorating from spreading damp and
discoloration. Turnips and potatoes
are badly diseased. Hops are total
failure in many Of tho best districts in
Kent. Preparations for autumn SOW
ing are retarded by diversion Of labor
in consequences Of the anxiety Of farm
ers TO got some OF the present harvest
to market while high prices arc current.
Tho supplies marketed show an in
crease, but are mostly unfit for milling.
Such M arc in good condition readily
brought Hhillinga advance. The best
lots Of mailing barley realized 42 to so
shillingS. Most of the new crop Il
badly disoolored. Arrivals in London
of all articles except oats have been
moderate. Last Mondays list showed
only about 9s,000 quarters foreign
wheat, chiefly American, aud suhse.
quent imports up to Friday amount TO
6l ,l20 quarters. Prices again favored
sellers to the extent Of fully shillingu
at the beginning Of the week, but with
only retail demand at the advance, NJ
large millers aud specnlatora hesitated
to follow the rise, which during tho
last few days has been maintained With
difficulty. Fine American reds and
such varieties Of white wheat az could

have the weeks sales been large, but
steadiness prevailed, as sellers were by
no means impatient to realize. The 10

vnlnes, namely, supply and demand.
AZ FAR rs can be seen at present there
appears no valid reason why wheat
should not advance another five Nhil-
lingS. Business still rests on firm
basis, although it must be admitted that
that increased supplies Of home grown
wheat will probably check an advance
temporarily. Maize attracted a good
deal Of attention, and owing TO the
scarcity spot sellers have been enabled
10 establish an advance Of one ahilling
on the week. Grinding barley, beans
and peas have moved quietly at former
prices. Continued heavy supplies Of
oats again reduced prices three pence
to Nix pence. Wheat for shipment has
been in large request, aud an extensive
business was done, principally in Cali.

shilling advance. Calcutta descriptions
also participated in the advance. Arri.
walls Of grain laden vessels or coast
have been small, and have been in COED
request, and advanced y shilling "a

restricted bnsineaS. Maize ruled firm
at sixl~nco advance, and has been very
