WON 04  REVIEW OF THE CORN FRADE. (Fonts the " .trrri,ultuttsl Gazette.") So far there have been no reports of any change el eelour in respect of the wheat crop, which continues to look remarkably well. The oat and barley crops are showing a very regular plant, and the meat rains will quickly bring those leter sown out of the ground. The country is very full of green keep, and with seasonable sunshine and a softer atmosphere the country side would wear a very lovely appearmies. Then has been • considerable increase in the deliveries of farmers' wheat, 71,959 qrs. (4.501 b 1 having been returned for she week at 295. 10d., as apinis 52,953 qrs. (480Ib.) at 295. 9d, in the preceding week, and 51,010 qrs. (4801 b. at 295. 104. 4 ths Corresponding week of last year. Good samples of native red wheats are worth more money and fine white wheats have realised an advance of from 64„ in London to Is. in the provinces as from a week ege, notwithstanding the larger deliveries. It is not improbable that English white wheats may command a premium, inasmuch as they are relatively scarce, and have no foreign equivalent until the new crop Nesr Zeal/soda come to hand. Country flour ie steady, Native barleys have dropped to a return of only 11,500 qrs. (4061 b 1 at 295. 104. for the week, this quantity being Wee than that returned in the mold. ing week, and considerably lees than that of the corresponding week in lost year. Oats eh,w a further considerable decrease. With regard to other thinp there is nothing fresh to note. The trade for foreign wheat off .stand in Loads. has been firmer and, in some respects, dearer, as from the preceding week, but buyer., so far, appear to be supremely indiffere, t to the American crop scarce and all other ou side influence.: for choice Russian. Indian, and Australuian wheats they have had to pay about 6d. more money, but this ha. not Increased the demand, and the soot trade is simply hardening without activity. The receipts of breed. • Stuffs into London for the week heve comprised 8325 qrs. of wheat from the Argentine Confederation, 5717 qrs. from United States Atlantic porta, 4195 qrs. from Russia (Math Sea ports 3000 Baltic ports 11115 qrs.), 2101 qrs. from New %eased, 1832 qrs. from India, 1693 qrs. from Germany, and 129 qrs. from France, together 24;154 qrs. foreign, which, with 3003 qrs. b3ogll h and done equal to 39,334 qrs. of wheat, made a total HMS! to 66,391 gm, of wheat for the week. In Liverposl an advance of Id. per cental has been supported. Flour boa been steadier in tone, and for favourite brands, relatively scarce, buyers have bad to pay 34. to 6d per sack more money. Malta advanced to IS. ex-ship for mined American in London, but has again fallen off somewhat in value, 175. Pd. to I:s. 1014 being the latest quotation with Its. to 18s. 3d. landed; Liverpool has quoted a similar advance, and round earn has been rather against buyers. Barleys show no quotable change, but common Russian oats have been rather dearer to buy is I.ondon. Linseed ban continued to advance. Calcutta seed being worth 41e ea-ship in London, and 415. 6d. ex-warehouse, 3d. more having been paid for landed seed in 0011. Rapeseed is unchanged, but cottonseed is dearer, the spot value in London being .£6 per toe.
