LONDON, March l5.-The Mark Lane
Express, in its review of the British
grain trade during the past week,
says: Spring work is at stand still
on account OF frost, The position is
very serious. The wheat trade is dull.
Fine English red is 81 dearer. The
sales of English wheat during the
week were "a, 42l quarters at 29s ID,
against 81, 7l6 quarters at Sis ia dur
ing the corresponding week last year.
There have been continued deliveries
Of -four. Prices are not materially
altered. The foreign wheat trade is
gradually hardening. The supplies
are unusually short, yet English wheat
continues to undenell foreign equiva-
Tents at 5s to los per quarter. Some
sorts of imported wheats are ridicu-
lousy dear comrared with native
wheats. The difference is partly at
tribut9d to the alteration in lsts years
in the London milling machinery.
Four Cargoes OF wheat arrived. Two
cargoes were sold. Three cargoes we're
Withdrawn, and one Californian re-
NAMED. Trade forward is more active,
and prices are against buyers. The
market to-day was slow for English
wheat, AID 6d@ls more was de-
mar d ID. Flour was Cd desrer. Oats
were Cd dearer.
CHICAGO, ILL, March l5.-Im-
proved cables made the wheat crowd
feel very bullish Immediately after tue
opening to-day, May started at S6sc,
touched Sc, aud struck bottom at IS /
@S5sc. The decline was rapid aud
steady. Pork was to blame for the
downward start in wheat, but after
that it did not need this dragging in
fluence. Lester, Eldredge & Evering-
ham tried to stop the break, but inet-
fectually. Wall street was big seller
until about noon. A change in the
visible" situation also helped the
weakness. Toe decrease was reduced
to as low as 100000 bushels. Many
put it at $4,000 bushels. From bot
tom prices wheat improved b@lc, aud
at o'clock closed quiet at decline
of substantially lc from Saturday.
