LONDON. July 2l.--The Mark Lane E1a
press says: The weather continues showery

excessive rainfall at this critical period
l. tended to emphasize the firmpess which has
recently characterized the grain trade.
Owing to q depletion OF granary stock, for
English wheat, prices have been well sus.

offerings are so small and, the, quality so in,

sequently there has been good demand for
such qualities of grain as can be substituted,

readily brought from ABS to Sis. "''' 4'"'"
Red wheat continues unusually scarce,

Stocks OF wheat in LONDON on July LIST
were nearly 80, 00O quarters less than at the
same date ia 1879, while il is estimated that
the total OF about 10000 quarters included
large proportion OF foreign wheat, which
during the last fortnight has gone, rapidly
into consumption. Stocks OF maze are also
largely diminished while oats show, little
variation. Business in both was quiet, but
in the case OF maize this was chiefly due to
the scarcity OF spot. Sales we're readily
made on Friday at 24s. Continental buyers
we're also in market, ont their operations
