London Letter,
crop Prospects Of tie World.

LONDON. Eng, May "a, 1857
During the past week the weather has been
brilliantly fine and dry with strong easterly
winds and cold frosty nights. Yesterday the
air was more southerly ana softer, rs it Is this
morning. 1t is difficult for those who live in
towns to realize that what appears TO them as
splendid weather should be other than benefi-
cial to the growing crops, and any statement
10 the contrary is-perhaps not unnaturally-
attributed to that constitutional spirit OF
grumbllng which Is supposed to be inmate with
agriculturalists. Nevertheless, week OF
harsh, whitening easterly winds, with scorch.
ing suns by day and white frosts by night,
will not be considered by farmers to have I'm
proved crop prospects IN respect to any OF the
cereals Very little progress has been made
by vegetation, and the tendency of the weeks
weather on the wheat crop is distinctly in the
direction of forcing the plant INTO the ear on q
stunted growth of straw. Notwithstanding
their thickness on the ground, the best wheats
eye in walking into them, whilst from the rest
a particularly small bulk of straw would now
appear inevitable. The spring corn wants
more ram and warmer nights, and none Of the
cereals are in a better condition than they were
a week ago. The trade for native wheat re.
mains dull and languid, but rates have not
declined for good milling samples. Country
flour has become weaker in value and oCcas.
sionally less money has been accepted. In
other descriptions OF home growth grain and
pulse there has been no change during the
week.
The latest estimates of the wheat crop in
South Australia is to the effect that the yield
is about five bushels per acre over the whole
colony, which would give All exportable sur.
plus of 154 900 tons, or $4,000 tons in excess
of the exportable surplus OF last year.
A telegram from Madrid dated Friday,
states that according to official reports there is
prospective failure of the wheat crop IN only
four provinces, whereas in iorty.one other
provinces the prospects are good. The Gov
eminent has therefore decided not to suspend
the duties on imported breadstuffs, which was
enormously stated to have been done.
Crop prospects in southern Russia continue
to be reported uniavorably in the absence of
rain
In the rest of Europe prospects Of the wheat
crop are good; rain Is wanted In France.
Markets for breadstutfs quiet throughout
Europe.
1t is reported that Messrs. Bell q Sons, of
Glasgow, importers Of dead meat from Ameri-
ca, have abandoned the trade. The reason
given tor this important step Is that at current
prices for beet IN New York and in this
country, 1t did not pay to import dead meat
The average price for some time back realized
here for sides Of American beef has been under
IL cts. per pound. Keeping IN view the prices
on the other side of the water the meat has
latterly been sent to Britain at loss. Beef
steaks are said to be selling at 30 cents per
pound IN New York.
