THE ENGLISH GRAIN TRADE.
LONDON, March 5.-The Mark Lane Express,
in its review of the British grain trade for the
last week, says:
"1he wheat trade was weaker, with declines
ranging from 81 to 2s. The trade in foreign
bread-stuffs was tedious and unsatisfactory, with
downward tendency in prices. Flour weakened
owing to excessive arrivals. Other articles
are not quotably unchanged. CargOes off the
coast in restricted demand. Red winter
wheat closed Cd dearer. There were four arri-
walls and six sales, three Withdrawn, aud two re-
main. About twelve cargees are due this week.
Trade in futures slack Sales of English
wheat for the past week, 5000 quarters, at
AIS 81 per quarter, against 34,3e4 quarters, at
Ads Cd, for the corresponding period last: year."
