set OF new glasses. People rise at the same

ENGLISH GRAIN MARKETS,

Large Supplies of Barley and Oats at Low
Figures-Importation of Russian and
India Wheat Stopped by Severe Cold
Large American Imports.
LONDON, Feb 4.-The Mark Lane Express
says the deliveries of English wheat during the
past fortnight were fully the average of the
past ten years. Recent deliveries of barley
have been equal to the full average for the
season, but considerably less than the quanti-
ties sold a year ago. The price Of barley was
good deal higher than now, but it was chiefly
owing to its superiority. Fine barley, good
color, is exceptionally scarce this year,
the average. For best lots of mailing barley
the price attainable now is even higher than
the rates current year ago.
Oats In the country are cheaper than at any
time since 1870. Imported oats have never
been SO cheap as to-day. Of Russian anG In
dian wheat there is only small quantity
ahoat at present. The rigorous weather ex-
perienced in England appears to have been
felt throughout Europe. The Baltic sea and
Danish sound are blocked with ice. The tenn
perature is very low throughout Sweden, Rus
STA, Germany and Netherland. In France the
fall of snow has been heavier than in England,
while even the Mediterranean coast has been
invaded by cold. The Danube is frozen, and
the harbor of Golatz closed to navigation,
while along the Black sea coast the ice is
gathered in a formidable quantity. The har-
Dor of Odessa is closed. The American
visible supply keeps very large, of which
2, 45O,0OO quarters are stored at the
principle grain :.enters. The quantities of
both wheat and maize are nearly double the
quantities in granary year ago.
