press in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says:
Deliveries of the new crop of wheat are
largely increasing. Some sells as low as
Us per 246O pounds. Sales of English
wheat during the past week were so ,989
quarters at 30s I'd per quarter against
sos quarters at SIS Id during the cor
responding week last year. The large
differences in price between now
and 2 year ago is partly due to
the fact that wheat offered at this time
twelve months ago was old grain of the
fine crop of 1887. Foreign wheat is Sd
lower. Flour is steady atse fractional
decline. Corn is weak. The price of
beans and peas are in buyers favor.

a2s per quarter and old at sos. Foreign
wheat was neglected. Flour was firmer
Barley was Cd cheaper. There was
further fall of Sd in rye. Laplatte corn
Was down 9d0ls. Oats were firm. Cal
curta linseed was Sd lower
