past week, says: The weather has been mild
and rainy. Trade inclined toward lower
prices. In some provincial exchanges prices
defined shilling. In London prices continue
yet lower. Only the choicest English and
foreign grains maintain their former
prices. Flour is very quiet. Barley is very
dull. Foreign wheat is lower. The decline
appears unfathomable. Overproduction seems
likely TO continue and increase. In the mean
time trade must suffer from the plethora of
supply. Maize is weaker. Eight cargoes of
wheat arrived off coast; two were sold, four
withdrawn, and four remained, including
two of No. California. Cargoes on passage
are inanimate Sales of English wheat for
the past week, 81, 3l7 quarters at 81 shillings
