LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE Mark Lane EePreSs,
in its weekly review of the corn trade, says:
intensely airy. tropical heat mas prevailed
since Aug. !. and harvest work has proceeded, |
ripIdly. Grain has matured in exceptionally |
good form. and all the earliest wheats are in
perfect milling condition. Barley aud oats |
vary; in some districts they are excellent, and |
IN others poor. Spring beans appear to be an |
absolute failure. The potato crop is unlikely !
To prove large, but viii be treer from disease |
than for many years. Throughout the past |
week new Wheats made their appearance in |
various markets in a condition described as
somewhat phenomenal: they are quoted at 30 |
lG4Os per quarter for reds, and Ais for whites. |
The sales of English wheat during the week !
were 2l.7'S quarters at 3is Oh, against 35,I3l |
quarters at ABS 6d for the corresponding week |
Of last year. Trade in foreign wheats was !
chOked 10y the sunshine. and the present symp-
toms indicate "a rapid subsistence OF values to
a Ievel hitherto unknown. The present posi-
ton Of trade Will strengthen the argument OF |
those who maintain that the production of |
wheat throughout the world IN late years has
been increasing. Nheats IN London and Liv-
erpO0l are irregularly cheaper. and oats are
Cd lower; maize is firmly held in London;
barley remains unchanged. The trade in
wheat cargoes or the coast has literally dried
up under the blazing sun. and there was only
one sale; II cargOes arrived, were with
drawn, and remain. The trade forward Is
virtually NIL
