British Bread Prospect.
LONDON, March 25.-1he Mark Lane Ea-
press says: The offerings of homegrown
wheat at Mark Lane have been moderate;
fine dry lots found buyers at last week 3
prices, but the increased strenth of the trade
recently reported has been with difficulty
maintained; indeed, for moment, the up
ward tendency of prices received decided
check. In secondary qualities there have
been little or no business. The weeks i'm
portatlon of foreign wheat into London were
again moderate, last Mondays list showing
arrivals OF 26, 900 quarters, while the subse-
guent supply up 20 Friday did not exceed
$4,000 quarters. The requirements of the
country has been very light, and as millers
appear for the present to be fairly stocked, or
at any rate unwilling to follow an advance in
prices, last weeks improvement has been
lost as regards American varieties. The lead
ing feature OF the present season is the unu-
sually low point to which maize has fallen,
and In spite of the reduced prices maintained
for the moment here, there has been no sign
OF revived demand, as the consumption is
still lar below the average. Barley has been
neglected; there has been little inquiry either
for mailing or grinding. Oats has been de-
pressed, Notwithstanding moderate supplies
and the concessions that have been willingly
offered. Sales of English wheat last week,
50,3O4 quarters, at 40s Sd; against 31,I5l
quarters, at ASS lid, the corresponding period
of the previous year. Imports into the
United Kingdom for the week ending March
18th, were Sl4, 667 cwt wheat and 1.43I ,407
cwt -four.
