THE ENGLISH GRAIN TRADE
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Mark Lane Express,
III review OF the bFlVlsn grain traue TOT tne
past week, says: The weather was decidedly
more favorable for outdoor work. The demand
for wheat at the close was slack and dsappoint-
ing, buyers resisting any advance. Foreign
wheat was dull, although the market closed
somewhat better, of cargOes there were only
sales OF two of Chicago spring at 39s Sd and 40s.
The market is nearly bare. There WAS a better
inquiry for futures. Flour was in liberal
supply and trade Slow prices low. For foreign
HOur The demand continues tO increase. RArlpV
is unimproved; foreign is quiet. Oats steady aud
unchanged; foreign improved about shilling.
Maize scarce on spot, and the Improvement
therefor is maintained. Sales of English wheat
for the past week, 32,3s9 quarters, at 4Os per
quarter, against a.. $40 quarters, at 45s sd per
quarter, for the corresponding period last year.
