ENGLAND'S GRAIN TRADE.
Prices Depressed in Expectation of a
Flooded Market.

FlOOded Market.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Mark Lane En-
press, in its review of the British grain
trade during the past week, says that a
considerable proportion of the grain in
the northern and western districts of
England is yet unsecured. Samples of
new wheat are sparingly offered. The
tendency of the market is towards a
lower level of rates. The market
for foreign wheat, off stands,
is extremely prOstrated, the supplies be-
ing large, An impression prevails that
the market will be flooded with foreign
Oreadstutfs. Nine cargOes of wheat ar
rived, one was sold, six were withdrawn,
and nine remain. The sales of English
wheat for the week were 67,665 quarters
at Ais, Sd, against 1929 quarters at AS.

favorably to the road in all respects, and

dwelt principally on the great resources
of the country through which the line
would pass. The evidence was vOIumi-
