with revolvers the men advanced within two
feet of each other before the firing began.

ENGLISH GRAIN
The Mark Lane FzDress in its review
of the British grain trade for the past week
says: A week of warm and sunny weather, III
though interrupted by intervals of incessan
rain Sunday and Sunday night, has done won
ders in maturing cereals. At the same timt
previous damage cannot be obtained. An ex
animation of the wheat ears proves the plan
has been starved, not only by the ears which
are short and mcagre, but many Of them arc
barren at the base and top. Neither whea
nor barley will be ready to cut much before
the end of the month. Of barley there will
probably be a better crop if fine weather con
tinues, as despite the gloomy Snticipations il
promises by no means badly in some of thu
southern counties. Scotch advices of the con
dition of cereal arc on the whole favorable
but the lateness of the season causes much
anxiety. The smart advance in wheat of {
month ago ago seems to have quite expended
its force, as enormous shipments from Ameri

London trade during the past week. The fine
weather also, no doubt, had marked effect in
depressing prices. 1t was manifestly impos

Buyers have been reluctant to operate in for

little business done has been at decline of
