The Mark Lane ,Egprsss OF Aug 2 In
its review of the Grain trade for the past week
says the weather has been very unsettled.
Large tracts of grain all over the. Kingdom
have been laid and, twisted by rain, and the
mildew which had appeared among the wheat
isincreasiug: Dry, warm weather is much
needed to harden the grain. The harvest has
already begun in Kent barley being, as a
rule, the earliest crop. Unless the weather
becomes settled and fine, farmers sanguine
expectations relative to barley will hardly be
realized, and good EEgliish mating descfip.
tions win again be scarce. Oats have suffered
less than other cereals.
The following dispatch was received
at the war department, Washington. from San
Antonio, Aug. 6: EAGLE SPRINGS, Aug. 81
The Mexican troops, for some reason unknown
to me, have started on their return to Chihua-
| hua, passing opposite Quitlan last evening.
Victoria, with 1875 or 100 warriors Is again
across the river passing north toward Viege
pass, Van Horn or Bass Cannon. My troops
are now moving rapidly to get in his front.
Have ordered company X cavalry from Stock
| ton in the same direction. The Indians are
evidently striking for Guadalopes or sacra-
| mento. GREARsoN Commanding.
A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark. of
Aug. 6, states that at Oldtown, Ora ghead
county, q lew days since, John f. Kin sr,
smith, ag mt Of streight & Co, Indianapolis,
Ind, was killed by Calvin Smith. also of In
dianapolis, by blows from behind with a gun.
His skull was crushed. Both men were en-.
| 6 ged in getting out valuable timber and had
| quarrel Of two or three years standing orig
mating in business rivalry. Mr.. Mont gomery
| also an agent for Streight, started for Indian
apelis with the body, but owing to hot wealth
er was compelled TO bury it at GAINESVILLE.
Smith tried to escape, but was arrested and
| jailed.
The markets have been generally firmer
Most kinds of wheat have been stiffiy held for
an advance, and the strong feeling in trade ia
! increasing, Another week of broken weather
would cause decided advance in old grain
Although July arrivals from abroad were over
l000O00 quarters of wheat and -four, yet Eng
| lish deliveries have been SO scant that the
small reserve which existed at the beginning
of July, must be diminished nearly 100000
quarters. August arrivals from abroad are
likely to be good, but if deliveries of English
wheat are practically nil, it will be difficult to
meet the wants of consumers. The markets
are likely to be very sensitive until September.
The market for forward delivery is of differ.
ent character. American red winter is offered
at about seven shillingS below the price of
old grain. England is taking an increased
share of American grain shipments. Pur-
chases for the continent have fallen to 100000
| quarters. There are fair number of cargoes
off coast but buyers are reserved. The i'm
ports into the United Kingdom during the
week ending July gath, weresl ,O6l ,060 hundred
