II The Mark Lane Ezpress of March %,
says: Weather has been cold but sunny.
Spring sowing has proceeded fayorably, and
the agricultural situation may BIO regarded as
promising. There has been an advance OF a
fun shilling in home grown wheat both at
Mark Lane and in the country in consequence
|of the supply having been unusually small
and milles operating more freely. The mark.
ed diminqtion In supplies indicated the low
ebb to which the reserves OF last years scanty
crop have fallen, rather than the disinclina.
lion Of holders to part with their produce.
Imports Of foreign wheat continued moder-
alta There has been an improved demand at
an advance Of six pence to o shilling per quar-
ter. Agood trade was done in all varieties, and
sales, although Of retail character, were
numerous. There has also been some CONT.
mental inquiry the past five weeks, exceeding
q, goo quarters. The increased inquiry the
past fortnight is very Insignificant as the un.
usually favorable weather for agriculture
would In ordinary seasons, have justified the
millers in marking stocks down as close as
possible. But the attitude Of the American
ring is being watched with feverish anxiety
and unless unforeseen circumstances should
arise to weaken the strength which
America appears to possess, the time
cannot be far distant when the wants
Of western Europe will cause rush to get in
at lower prices. Barley remains Gull, but all
other feeding stuffs participated in the
improvement. Maize on spot, in consequence
of extreme scarcity, sold as high as 29d per
quarter. The supply Of maiza on passage is
not excessive and as fears of excessive Ameri-
can shipments have subsidized, steady trade
at about present quotations may be expected
until America has disposed of her wheat. Ar.
rivals at ports OF call have been moderate in
consequence Of unreasonable weather and ad-
vices Of lower prices from, America. Cargoes
barely maintained last Mondays advance.
Only two cargoes of maize arrived, which
were held above the market value, which was
about Is. A fair amount OF business was done
in wheat for shipment early in the week, but
the greater part of last Mondays advance ha.
since been lost. There was a good demand
for maize. Sales of English wheat last week
1895 qrs., at 46s 1Od per Or, against 5OO41
qrs., at 40s Sd for the corresponding week last
year. Imports into the United Kingdom TO,
the week ending the 18th, 7s6,851 hundred
weights wheat and 1856 hundred weights
flour.
