London, May 31.-The Mark Lane
ErpresS says: Showers and warm winds the
the past week have promoted vegetation won-

the provinces. Prices were fairly steady and
only receded for inferior produce of wheat
However, large proportion of offerings in
London consists of imports of foreign, princi
pally American and Indian, but the total ar

downward movement for time. There has
been fair consumptive trade, with occasion
ally decline where sales were pressed. Tht
future course of prices will probably be down

be some strong fluctuations cauaed by specu
