LONDON, July 1.-THE Mark Lane E1
press, in its weekly review Of the British
grain trade, saws: The harvest IS well
forward in Southern England. The re

there, but they saved the oats and benefit
ed barley elsewhere. Some excellent
judges estimate that the yield OF wheat
will be 9S bushels per acre on two million
acres. Our estimate for the United King

for half century, with an average yielC
that will possibly be as low as that OF 1856
namely. 1859 bushels TO the hundred

THE RICHMOND TERMNAL.-The

letter to the stockholders of the Rich
mond Terminal Company. They ask
for proxies empowering them TO call a
stockholders meeting. This, they say,
can be done under the Virginia code
by the holders of one-tenth of the capt.
tai stock of the company-that is, of
$4,000 shares. A meeting to consider
what course stockholders should pur-
sue can be held after notice of the call
has been published for thirty days.
Should the present management and
its conduct of the company be approx
ed, the Orr committee, they say, will
feel that there will be no other occa-
sion for their services.
