miles, was viewed with amazement by
spectators In this country, as it rose

Ruined English Harvests.
LONDON, August 30, 1881.

The Mark Lane Ezpress, in its re-
view of the British grain trade for the
past week, says :-'sThe past week
brought general disaster and ruin to
the harvest. The series of intermit-
tent storms eliminated on Thursday
In q general thunderstorm with de-
luging rainfall. To adequately esti-
mate the damage we must remember
the downpour of rain was ON sheavee
which had been repeatedly wetted and
dried, or on standing grain which il
literally eaten up by mildew. In the
flooded districts the disaster is COM
plete. Unmatched ricks have every
where suffered from Thursdays del
uge. The position Of the harvest has
materially affected trade, and rates
improved shilling on Wednesday and
further shilling on Friday. The ad-
vance, which would have amounted to
several shillings had Thursdays wea-
ther continued, was checked by FRI
days sunshine. The advance in the
Provinces was shilling beyond that
in London. OF the few samples OF
the new crop offering nearly all had
sprouted. The earliest parcels are
the best. Foreign wheats are 2s. and
-four 1s. to IL. Sd. better. The English
markets are very bare Of foreign -four.
The supply Of native grain IN the Pro-
vincisl markets is almost nil. The
port markets are, therefore, greatly
strained. The stocks ON either side Of
the Atlantic being In strong hands the
supply here cannot exceed the demand
until growers in America forward the
new crop In sufficient bulk to over.
power the Atlantic speculators. Fif-
teen cargoes arrived off the coast, of
which three were sold. Values are
unchanged. The forward business
was considerable. The floating bulk
was increased by 300, 900 quarters
For barley values wers checked, being
ruled by maize, which was cheaper.
Oats were at q standstill. Foreign
were cheaper. The sales Of English
wheat during the week were 1851
quarters at 51s. 10d. per quarter,
against IL, 229 quarters at AS. Id. per
quarter Tor the corresponding week

rain in various parts of Ireland is very
