Another week of exceptionally fine
weather has brought harvest to a termi-
nation in many parts of England under
very favorable circumstances, while steady
progress has been made with the cutting
and stacking of grain throughout Scotland
and Ireland. Of course, in the latter
districts, there is still some standing corn
to be seen, but few more days of such
weather rs we are now enjoying will see
this secured. Such a fine ending to the
harvest is of the greatest value, for al
though good deal of wheat has undoubt-
edly been injured by blight and mildew,
even damaged corn is more valuable when
stacked in dry condition. The deliveries
of new English wheat have been steadily
increasing in the provincial markets, but
at Mark Lane the supply has been small,
and, rs might have been expected, home
grown produce has engaged the lions
share of millers' attention. States have
progressed somewhat slowly nevertheless,
and decline of Is. per. or. in London
and Is. to Is. in many of the leading
country markets has taken place. Nc
fresh feature of interest has manifested
itself in the trade for foreign wheat, and
the temporary steadiness due to the falling
off Of American shipments gave place tc
a feeling Of listessness and depression on
Monday last, which has chung to the trade
during the remainder of the week.
The weather in France throughout the
past week has been very favorable fol

the cutting and gathering of the cereal
crops having concluded. 1t is rather
early to form an opinion as to the yield Of
wheat, but the general opinion is that the
crop will fall somewhat short of an aver.
age. Wheat, barley and oats must be
noted fully one franc cheaper, while rye
has improved in value with rather
active demand for the eastern frontier
At Paris on Wednesday the offerings o
both native and foreign wheat were large
and as milers bought very cautiously, tn,
business done was at a decline of SOC
on the week. Barley and oats were
abundant, but difficult to sell. Flour fol-
consumption gave way two francs on the
week, 81 franc being the quotation fol
Dashlay. Commercial marks also showed
a dropping tendency while the latest
quotations indicate fall of two franc pei

At Dion the wheat trade has been dull
and disappointing, but rye has beef
in good request. At Marsailles tn,
arrivals of wheat for the week ending
August 28th were $4,000 qrs.. and tn,
stock in the docks has increased to 80, 5O(
qrs. Bushes has been quiet, and price
maintained with difficulty, except for the
finest sorts. The shipments from Russi,
have been very small and importers have
warehoused the arrivals thence soone

more resistance to the decline, but in nei
