press.


LONDON, September l3.-The Mark Lane
Erpress in Its review Of the British grain
trade for the past week says: The harvest
is nearly completed in most English coun-
ties and quite finished in the south. The
grain is mostly stacked and in very excel
lent condition, aud threshipg has been
proceeding freely. The wheat crop is
variable at the best and very generally
disappointing, considerable proportion
being blighted. The wheat yield has been
generally oyerestimated because OF in-
sufficient allowance being made for the in
eyitable results OF blight aud midew, fine
weather at the end OF the summer being
expected TO remedy the shortcomings OF
the adverse season. Root crops have been
In great need OF rain, the ground got very
dry and hard, and Saturdays splendid
rain therefore was generally welcomed.
The bulk OF the Irish and Scotch crops
have been secured under the most favor
able circumstances. The offerings OF Eng
lish wheat in Marx Laue and Provinces
has been moderate, aud very large pre-
portion OF the samples are in excellent
condition. The contrast with last years
wretched produce Is most marked. Some
samples OF new barley have also appeared.
They are variable in weight and color.
The miller's attention. has been devoted
almost exclusively to the home product,
which was purchssable at such moderate
prices that for a time foreign was left out Of
account, the supply OF imported having
quite outstripped the demand. The arri-
walls have gone into warehouse. The week
closed with 8 weaker feeling though prices
showed no quolable change. The sales OF
English wheat during the week amounted
2S l46 quarters at AIS I'd, sgainst l3645
quarters at AIS lid for the corresponding
period OF last year. The imports into the
Kingdom during the week ending Septem-
