Mark Lane Report.

LONDON, April 15.--The Mark Lane Ex-
press, in its review of the corn trade for the
past week says Six weeks of thoroughly
seasonable weather have made wonderful
change in the aspect of the country. Wheat
is somewhat backward in some Districts but
therefore not likely to suffer from any return
of cold weather. Showers have somewhat
delayed the complexion of Spring. Sup
plies of English wheat are again small both
in London and the provinces. Prices have
declined shilling, millers' requirements
being light, aud weather favorable for fu-
ture crop. There has been marked de-
cline in foreign wheat in London, caused by
speculative combination in America to
dictate prices to Western Europe. Red
Winter wheat fortnight ago was worth BIS
per or and sold with difficulty at 80 per or
decline. Russian ports have not declined
qaite 80 decidedly, but the tendency in all
cases have been averse to sellers. At the
same time the decline stimulated the de-
mand, and millers in some cases have
bought comparatively freely. The proxi-
mate cause Of the collapse Of the ring was
not 80 much abstentien from buving on this
side as favorable crop prospects in both
England and America. Official estimates Of
stock and grain in London is larger than an
ticipated, namely, 2S0, 900 qrs against 2O9,-
600, qrs at corresponding time last year.

ginning of the year, there is decline OF
