the harvest in Hungary agree that the
yield of wheat will be much larger and
of better quality than last year.
Reports from Russia state that the
yield will be excellent.
The Roumanian grain crops are much

The British Grain Trade.
LONDON, July lS.-The Mark Lane En-
press. in its weekly review OF the gram
trade, says The week OF tropical heat
has brought on the crops rapidly toward
harvest. Wheats vary good deal. The
ears are generally short, and some insect
injuries are beginning to be spoken Of.
Exceptional heat will doubtless prema
turely ripen the wheats. Barley wants
rain. In the southern and eastern nj |.
land counties the oat crop may be re.
garded as lost. The deliveries OF native
wheat during the week have been in
significant, only S24 quarters having
reached London during that period.
Values are unchanged. The barley and
oat trades are totally unchanged. For.
eEn breadstutfs are in ample supply and
the trade, despite the weather, has been
firm but extremely quiet, and sellers
have the advantage on spot. The finest
qualities are scarce, and the imports are
diminished. Buyers operate on small
scale. 1t may be said that forward
trade at present scarcely exists. OF the
twenty-one of the coast Cargoes which
arrived during the week, three were
sold. The floating contingent has been
decreased $4,000 quarters. The de-
crease in the imports OF flour and the
depletion OF stocks has been the main
spring OF the present tirmness OF that
article. Foreign flour choked the trade
all through the year. but the factors now
obtain full rates. There was rather a
better demand on Wednesday. Maize
has been firm, though in better supply.
Foreign barley on spot has been I'M

will be delayed till Wednesday. The

they hold their conferences in the morn

Not much attention is given to the

their own judgment, and it is regarded
as only question OF time with them
when they will forego their opposition
