Weekly Review of English Grain Market.
LONDON, July 29.-The Mark Lane Err
press says: The ground is still sodden
from the violent storms at the COM
menCement of the week, but since
Tuesday the weather has been fine.
The condition of the crops will almost
certainly be disappointing, and even
under favorable circumstances the loss
may be expected TO be equal to a mil
lion pounds sterling. The ears OF wheat
are generally small, but mostly satisfac-
tory and free from blight and yermin.
The state of the ground, however, is
evidently favorable TO the maturing OF
grain. In the South of Scotland and
North OF England, harvest is not likely
to begin before September, and there is
thus time during which improved
weather may do much for the wheat
and something for barley. In other
parts of the country there is less time
Tor recovery and more injury has been
suffered Oats appear to be in better
condition than wheat and barley. The
markets which were active early in the
week became comparatively sluggish
with the finer weather. The wheat
trade has not been seriously affected by
the adviCes OF foreign business, and
shipments for American exports Tor the
United Kingdom are rather heavy. The
quantities of grain now at sea and the
supply of American here are somewhat
reduced. TheimpOrts during July were
good, but not at all above the country's
wants. Wheat is about one shilling
per quarter higher than the previous
week, but with this improvement the
rise in favor of imports appears To be
exhausted. English white wheat ranges
from 80 to 81 shillings per quarter, at
large number OF country markets, COM
pared with 10 TO % shillings per quarter
before the improvement commenced.
Samples of red wheat which were vainly
offered at 40 shillings per quarter
month ago have recently sold at.4S shil-
lngS. The finest lots OF reds have
not made so great an improvement.
samples, which were quoted at rs shlll-
ingS per quarter at the beginning OF
July are now quoted at % shllllngs.
The trade in foreign wheat has been
fairly brisk at many markets, though
the total absence OF excitement caused
the advance to be confined within
moderate limits. Oats have been sale
able at about pence improvement and
the inquiry has been fairly active.
There has been a steady demand for
maize and it generally improved =
pence on the week. The imports into
the L. :. for the week ending July 18th,
was 500, ,673 cwt. of wheat and l53,OI9
cwt. of flour. In Mark Lane to-day,
Monday, English wheat was held for
full prices, but the inquiry was mostly
for foreign, and rather depressed, owing
to the large supply OF New Zealand and
Austrian heavy. Merchants are willing
to accept a shilling per quarter decline.
American red winter held for full prices.
Barley in fair request at 6d to 81 adj
vance. Oats firm. Maize fairly active
at a shilling per quarter advance. Trade
in flour quiet, but prices well supplied.
