English Market .

The Mark Lane Egpress Of June 21st,
says: Rains at the beginning of the week and
subsequent sunshine materially improved the
condition of cereals. Although the wheat
plant In some places is reported thin, general
~ speaking there are sanguine hopes of fair
average crop. The prospects of barley are
also favorable. Supplies Of English wheat in
both Mark Lane and the provinces have con-
tinued small and sales restricted. There has
been an occasional decline of shilling per
quarter for inferior descriptions. The demand
for the little fine white English which was on
offer, has doubtless been interfered with by
large arrivals Of Australian. The imports of
foreign into London consisted almost entirely
OF white from Australia, New Zealand and In
dia. Trade has been less firm. Tho consump-
tive requirements of the conntry during the
next two months should be quite sufficient to
ncutralize the tendency to discount the effect
Of the good home crop, while the continent
may be relied upon to relieve US of fair pro-
portion of the shipments from America. Pur-
chases the past week have been for present
requirements. All descriptions of white wheat
receded shilling under the pressure of large
supplies. Red has not shared the decline, as
stock of America and Russia now remaining
in London are sufficiently low to warrant hold
ers in showing great frmness. It needs only
slight increase in the demand to advance
prices shilling or two, as Russia is shipping
hardly any, while red winter American has
been bought off the coast for the continent
and large quantities have also been shipped
thither direct The markets will now to
great extent be influenced by the weather, but
there does not seem to be much probability of
the price of wheat varying greatly from that
Of the previous harvest. II, however, the pre-
sent crop prospects on both hemispheres are
realized, trade will have to deal with an un
precedented surplus of bresdstuffs. Arrivals
at ports of call have been limited, but prices
are dropping. The coast is still bare ofmaize.
America has not offered wheat for shipment
quite as freely, but prices continued to de-
cline, especially for prompt shipment. Red

A Joke on q Bishop.

A good story is told of q well-known
Episcopal Bishop. The Bishop is very
staid, glum sort Of good man, and the
last one in the world to enjoy joke, es-
pecially one on himself. A waggish
friend, meeting him in car, astonished
him by exclaiming, after reference to
his high-church principles:
"Why, Bishop, I hear that on Easter
you appear in your pulpit with crown
and palm"
"Whatl" exclaimed the Bishop in as
constituent. "Nonsense You know
better"
eyes" repeated the other, "with a
crown on your head and palm in your
hand"
cit is ibell Who could have start
ed such q story?" responded the dis
hnguished prelate, warmly. "Bu
pshaw | it is idle to talk about it; it is 81
absurd"
The conversation was changed, but
the Bishop did not forget his friends
words; they preyed on his mind and
worried him; he was afraid the ibelous,
atrocious report would get into the pa
pers, and then it would become popu-
larry accepted fact which there would be
no denying.
He sought for his friend the next day
at his Office, for the purpose of learning
the origin of the outrageous story; but
the other, who is considerable of wag,
sorely vexed the spirit of the accom-
plished prelate before he would make
any satisfactory explanation, and then,
with laugh and twinkle If the eyes,
he exclaimed:
"Why, Bishop, haven't you a crown
on your head, and palm in your hand?
Seel"
The Bishop was SO much pleased with
the explanation that he succeeded in
raising laugh; though the expression
of fierce solemnity that settled on his
features, as he left shortly after, leads
his friend to believe that he did not thor
oughly enjoy the joke.
