GRAIN AND BREA DSTUFFS
Late advices from the United Kingdom
state that the drOuth which threatened the
British wheat crop is broken. The harvest
promises to be heavy and the quality Is con-
sidered good. The demand was light; of for
eign at previous rates; of coast cargoes were
lower. The continent was slower than ever ms
IA buyer. Flour at London and Liverpool
was dull and unchanged. Mpssrs. Harris
Brothers 4 Co., of London, in their circular
of June 10Th, point out the almost exclusively
weather character of the breadstufis
markets as follows: "rhe weather con-
tinues very favorable for the growing wheat
crops, but too dry for spring corn, and there
Is now no doubut as 10 n short hay crop. Sup
plies of homegrown grain have been small,
but those of foreign have been generally
good into direct ports and large of coast
Wheat since our last, has lost value in nearly
every position, as shown by our quotations;
we have now entirely weather markets. and
as accounts from almost everywhere at home
and abroad are favorable as regards the
growing crops ofwheat we are for the present
apparently In for low range of prices"
In France the weather has been favorable,
and the wheat crop has progressed without
material Interruption. The French Ministry
OF Agriculture have published an account OF
the last harvest, according to which the yield
of wheat In 1883 was l0S,1S3 i& hcctolitCrs or a
full average, whereas at the time OF harvest
majority OF authorities estimated the crop
MS being about ID per cent. under average
Assuming the latest and official figures To be-

plus OF 1888 wheat still ON the hands OF French
farmers must be considerable" The weather
in Central Europe, In Roumania and In Rus
sia Is discussed, as per latest foreign mail az
vices, by our Berlin correspondent, whose
letter Will be found on another page. The
breadstuffs business In India Is dull at
karachi and Calcutta, although Bombay
nnder pressue OF heavy stocks, Is slightly
active. Prices are low and holders are not
anxious TO sell The official estimate of the
wheat crop in South Australia has been pub
lished as only Z bushels OF ~ pounds per
acre on l,SM,l5l acres. This, says the Mark
Lane Express, "would leave n surplus for cN-
port of Aij,0J tons, of which l5i,0U tons has
been shipped down to May IL, leaving 10000
tons available Tor export down to that date
The first estimates published We're for u
bushels per acre; then that fell to 10, and ar
forwards 10 Q, and now officially To :. The
three preceding crops averaged only y bush
els per acre In South Australia. The official
estimate of the Victorian surplus WIS 2iOOA
ions, so that the gross eSportabc surplus of
the two Australian colonies, under this latest
correction, would be 2.i7iS7j quarters at 81
bushels TO the ton" The reports of stocks of
wheat at London and Liverpool on July |, ms
compared with those nj like dates In pre-
ceding years, confirm the statements of those
who have long claimed that England has
been eating into her supplies In excess of
last year.
