LONDON, January 27th.-The nark Lane
Express review of the British grain trade for
the past week says: All outdoor work is
again stopped by frost. Thrashing occupies
the attention of farmers, and home grown
wheat is consequently more literally offered.
| In some districts, notably Yorkshire, fears
are expressed that recently sown wheat has
been frosted, or from some other cause is
deficient in vitality. Many of the early
sown fields elsewhere, however, are looking
well. Some improvement is noticeable in the
condition of the homegrown wheat offered
at the country markets, but all except the
choicest lots have been neglected. Imports
of foreign wheat into London have been
modeia ate, and American especially small.
Business has been quiet, and the weeks de-
mand was of an ordinary consumptive char
acter, principally for descriptions Of foreign
wheat available as a substitute for English.
According to moderate computation, it is es-
timated that the requirements of Great Britain
and France will reach 1000, 600 quarters be-
tween this and August, exclusive of the
quantity now afoat. Notwithstanding this,
the trade continues discouraging to holders
As consequence of the liberal stocks to
select from, and the bad demand for -four
mlllers have shown no desire to do more than
meet present requirements. 1t seems scarcely
likely that any marked rise can be expected
before May or June. Under any circum-
stances it will be necessary for the American
ring to hold its overstocks some time
longer. Arrivals at ports of call have been
small. The demand for wheat has been
quiet, and somewhat Irregular at decline of
a shilling to two shillings per quarter. Wheat
for shipment was very inactive, though Of
fered at a shilling to two shillings per quarter
less. Maize was slow, at q decline of six
pence. Sales of English wheat last week were
Sc, 903 quarters at 45s I'd per quarter,
against $40, 192 quarters, at 39s Id per quai-
ter for the corresponding week Of last year.
Imports into the United Kingdom during the
week ending January 18th were 593 $50 cwts.
of wheat and DDS $40 cwts. of flour.
