Review of British Grain Trade.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Mark Lane
ErDreSs in review OF the British grain
trade OF the past week SAYS: Negeta-
ton has been retarded BY the recent
east winds. Wheat, however, appears
healthy, though backward deliveries in
English wheat are snIall, and scarcity
compelled needy buyers to pay one
shilling in advance in some provincial
markets, but demand very restricted.
In London the business in wheat IS
small and prices nominally unchanged.
Red winter has risen sixpence on
account OF the scarcity on the spot.
Only one car o Of that grade arrived of
the coast last week, which, after being
some days in the market sold at ~
shiilings. The long continued easterly
winds prevented the arrival OF grain
laden vessels. The granery stocks at
home ports are consequently much re-
ductd, bat spot prices have not been
affected, except in the above mentioned
instance. Nearly half OF the London
supply Oi foreign wheat was American,
which was absorbed by the demand at
unchanged prices. Foreign -four is in
quiet demand at unaltered quotations.
The scarcity Of wheat helped the sale OF
flour. Maize was in small spot supply,
aud the off coast market was bare
Mixed American has risen 81. at Liver
pool. Barley was in short supply, with
slow demand and prices firm. Foreign
barley was in small supply, and quiet.
The heavier sorts of oats were firm, but
trade unaltered. Foreign oats were in
larger supply, with old Cd. dearer and
Russians Gl. cheaper, but trade slack
ened at the close. Sales Of English
wheat during the week were 20,433
quarters, al AS. a., against q, ,7ii quar-
ters at 4SI 2d. for the corresponding
week OF last year.
