The POst's cotton report SAYS: "Future de-
uverles advanced to-day 9-l00,Gl0-IOoc owing
partly 10 an improved Liverpool market, but
no doubt also to our greatly reduced stocks
which at last attract more general attention
bile the weather In the next six or eight
weeks may make difference of 100000 bales
lu the final result of the crop, vet Venturing
upon an average estimate and naming 6. 600
bale-, ~ VIII not appear unreasonable if about
tut.Cu0 bales are deducted for the deficiency in
the visible and invisible supply everywhere,
anu present prices viii appear moderate and
low enough for having discounted all unfa-
YOrable circumstances. Before and at the
thlrd call there was a decline of 3-IO0c, and
only 200 bales of September were sold at the
third call at 10 Csc, but the inquiry improved
alter the call. Futures closed barely steady,
with August $1,000 and the balance $1,000

LONDON, Aug. z5.-The Mark Lane FeDreas
IN ITS weekly review Of the grain trade says:
"Ihe heat and drought continued through the
week. The harvest has already been finished
In the earlier districts. Should the heat con-
tInue the harvest Will be finished this week.
The returns received show that the average
yield Of various kinds of grain per acre is as
follows: W heat 33 bushels, barley 80, oats -,
beans p, peas >. The rates for wheat are
declining. The finest red wheat commands
from S+sGa6s. and white wheat is 3Ss per
quarter. such prices have never occurred
before IN this country. 1t is probable that
they VIII decline still more The sales of
English wheat during the week were 80 99S
quarters at Bis 4d against 81 .4O3 quarters at
As Sd Tor the corresponding week Of last year.
The condition of foreign trade is intangible:
cash offers are the only test of what values
really are. The supply on hand is large.
There were ; arrivals on the coast. One cargo
was sold. were Withdrawn, and 1 remained.
including one American spring wheat: 80
cargoes are due. Wheat cargOes on passage
or Tor shipment meet with cautious demand
Flour Is cheaper, and declined during the
week Is per sack. Maize Is weaker. In
barley, beans and peas nothing is doing. Oats
are dull"

p m.-The markets dragged rather
heavily again to-day, with the exception of
corn. in which considerable interest conferred.
caused by lower range of prices. The wheat
market was again quiet, and at times dull,
with lower prices. The market sold of &c
soon af er the opening. Influenced to some
extent by the discOuraglng tenor Of foreign
advices and large receipts here. Then fol-
lowed firmer feeling, and prices rallied &c
under moderate demand. The exports from
the seaDOard for the past week of wheat and
flour were reported To exceed =. $50, 600 bushels
and 10000 bbls respectively, which induced
little more buying. Later prices ruled easy.
On the afternoon board the feeling was again
steady and lower. closing at 7Sc for SePtem-
Der. 193sc for october. ol1sc Tor November,
and S23zc for December. The corn market
ruled weaker and lower all around. The
warm weather and large receipts caused
rather free selling, and it was also credited
that a big local operator who had bought
freely had sold ont. Prices declined to
point 3<Glc under Saturday, rallied &c, then
fell or and closed 5E,9p4e under Saturday.
ON the afternoon board prices again receded
1gGl4c, closing at 5l1sc for August, 505sc for
September, 49c for October, and 41sc for
November. Oats ruled shade lower, closing
at Csc for August and September, and 25szc
for october. Pork ruled duh, and deferred
delivery declined 25G30c. August was
marked up from so 5000 30; september
closed at SEQ and all the year at Sl2 3755.
