than usual. The yield of Southern Russia was not reported. Odessa 
prices were remarkably high, the result of a poor harvest. All the indi- 
cations pointed to short supplies and high prices in Europe. 
The last week in September opened upon moderate supplies of Eng- 
lish wheat in London with good foreign arrivals, of which one-half were 
from America and the remainder mostly from Australia and Russia. 
The London weekly averages during September were as follows: 63s. 
on 4,956 quarters; 66s. 3d. on 2,759 quarters ; 66s. 4d. on 2.635 quarters ; 
63s. 11d. on 4,713 quarters. The importations into the United Kingdom 
during those four weeks embraced 3,151,197 cwts. of wheat and 
385,403 ewts. of flour. The stocks of old wheat both in England and 
on the continent appear to have been entirely exhausted. Essex and 
Kent new white is quoted at 54s. to 68s. per quarter in Mark Lane; 
ditto, red., 54s. to 61s.; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 53s. to 58s.

In Paris the wheat trade was better furnished with samples, and a 
slight reaction from previous high prices was discernible. Sales could 
be made only by yielding about a shilling from the published quota- 
tions; extra fine white Mayenne wheat brought about 72s. per quarter; 
lower qualities down to 67s. The growers generally demanded from 66s. 
6d. to 68s. At Havre, Oregon wheat was offered at 72s.; Californian, 
71s.; and American spring at 64s. The price of wheat in the French 
interior markets declined 1s. 2d. to 3s. 6d. per quarter. In Belgium, mar 
kets showed a downward tendency and were lower at Hamburg. Ber- 
lin was calm, wheat for September and October being quoted at 56s. per 
quarter. In Germany demand was still in excess of supply, with con- 
siderable sprouted wheat. Egyptian supplies were limited and prices 
were kept up. 
FLouR.—At the opening of the last week in September English flour 
was in good supply in the London market, and foreign in moderate 
quantity. The course of the week developed no special changes, except, 
perhaps, an increasing dullness in the market. Foreign wheat was in 
limited request at a shade below former rates, the sales being in favor 
of buyers. Friday’s sales of foreign amounted to 200 sacks and 9,530 
barrels. Country wheats were equally inert. The best English town 
households brought from 50s. to 57s. per 280 pounds; best country
