ENGLISH GRAIN.

LONDON, July 18-The Mark Lane
Erpress, in its weekly review of the grain
trade, says: A week of tropical weather
has brought on the crops rapidly towards
harvest. Wheats vary good deal, but is
generally short and some insect injuries
begin to be spoken of. The heat will
doubtless prematurely ripen wheat. Bar
ley certainly wants rain in the southern
and eastern midland counties. The oats
crop may be regarded as lost. The deliver
les of native wheat during the week have
been insignificant, only S24 quarters hav
ing reached London during that period.
Values unchanged The barley and oats
trade is unchanged. Foreign breadstuffs
are in ample supply and trade, despite the
weather, has been firm but extremely
quiet Stocks are depleted to an
unusual extent and sellers have
this advantage on the spot. The
finest qualities are scarce and imports are
diminished. Buyers operate on q small
scale. 1t may be said that forward trade
at present scarcely exists. Of twenty one
off-coast cargoes which arrived during the
week and sold, the footing contingent has
been decreased 135, 900 quarters. The de-
crease in the imports of flour and the de
pletion of stocks has been the handspring
of the present firmness The article of
foreign flour has, Checked trade all through
the year, but factors now obtain full rates.
There was rather better demand Wed
nesday. Maize has been firm, although
there is q better spot supply. Foreign bar
ley on spot is unchanged, off coast. market
clear. Oats in large supply and values
have fallen Cd. The sales of English wheat
for the week aggregate 14,275 quarters at
46s I'd, against $500 quarters at AS Id
for the corresponding week of last year

such wholesale robbery is impossible. In
any case one carriage alone could Ibe rob

could organize resistance. AS there is nc
example of such an event in our railway
history we may assume that the difficulty

the most daring criminals. The actua
