ber 20, in its review of the British grain
trade the past week says: Rain and floods
have greatly damaged crops still standing in
the north of Scotland. As threshing pro-
ceeds it is found, that the yield of wheat is
considerably below the anticipations formed
during the brilliant harvest weather. This
caused growers to be bolder in resisting de-
cline, and decided reaction has taken place
raising values q shilling at two shillings per
quarter cash in London and the country.
Supplies of home-gr wheat were COM
milling sold readily. The larger millers
however, hav e not shown such inclination to
increase their stocks as they would have done
if improvement in prices promised to be the
first step to a prolonged rise. There is not
much chance of prices attaining anything
but very moderate level if only subject to
the legitimate influences of supply and de-
mand, as the amonnt of surplus far exceeds
the estimated old world deficiency. Arrivals
at ports of Call have been small. There has
been considerable business in wheat both for
Great Britain and the Continent. Prices
steadily advanced, red winter closing at Is
Sd @1s Cd, and Australia Is dearer on the
week. Maize is in moderate request at about
Sd advance. American red winter is gener-
ally held above buyers views, but there has
been an occasional advance of Is per quar-
ter for special shipments. Barley quiet.
