sunshine materially improved the condition
Of cereals. Although the wheat planted in
some places is reported thin, generally speak

crops. The prospects Of barley are also fa-
vorable. Supplies of English wheat in both
Mark Lane and the provinces have continued
small and sales restricted There has been
an occasional decline Of shilling per quar-
ter for inferior descriptions. The demand for
little finer white English wheat which was
on offer has doubtless been interfered with
by large arrivals Of Australian. Imports of
foreign into london consisted almost entirely
of white from Australia. New Zealand and
India. Trade has been less firm. The con-
sumptive requirements OF the country during
the next two months should be quite sufi-
cient to neutIalize the tendency to discount
the effects of good home crop, while the

The Technical Comn ission-The Church
Bill.
BERLIN, June '21st.-The delegates to the
Technical Commission met to-day.
In the Prussian Diet to-day, during the de-
bate on the church bill, Herr Bennigson said
he and his friends could lot vote for the
fourth article, as they considered it mad
missible that Bishops who had been Judi
crally removed from their dioceses for resisting
the laws should be recalled. He was willing
to discuss certain provisions contained in the
first and fifth articles, and in regard to the
ninth article would vote for the Conservative
amendment. Minister Won Puttkammer des-
ignated the fourth article as an essentia point
The Government, he said, was not
afraid of the consequences of recalling
the Bishops. At present, when the
decision of the House could not be
prcgnosticated with any certainty, the Gov
eminent had no cause to abandon any essen
tiql proposals. No conclusions should be
drawn from the reserved position of the Gov
eminent till the bill was finally put to a vote.
Deputies Gneist and Verchon opposed the
fourth article, and argued that recall of the
Bishops would be incompatible with the
maintenance of the authority of the State.
Herr Windshorst stated that the vote about
to be given by the Center was only con-
ditional aud provisional. Herr Stengefs
proposition, viz, the duty Of Bishops to no.
tify appointments, was adopted, and the
fourth article passed by a vote of 252 to 80.
