Wheat. — The season, in the United Kingdom, has shown great va- 

 riation of temperature. About the middle of May, in some parts of 

 England, the thermometer in the sunshine indicated 110 degrees, but 

 this was followed by cutting breezes and a furious hail-storm. Several 

 portions of France complained of drought, though of late rains have 

 become more abundant. In northern Europe the rain-fall has been plen- 

 tiful. Markets in Belgium and Holland show a disposition to weaken, 

 but Germany and Russia show no change. Commercial authorities in 

 Europe were puzzled at the apparently inconsistent advices from Amer- 

 ica. The ravages of grasshoppers in the wheat-producing regions of 

 the West did not raise the price above 46s. 6fZ. i)er quarter, including

 export. Sellers in London markets had become indifferent about accept-

 not fall any further. British wheat was offered in Mark Lane in but 

 moderate supplies. The sales of English wheat in the kingdom, during 

 the last week in May, amounted to 51,278 quarters at 42s., against 42,822 

 quarters at 62s. 4fZ, during the corresponding week of 1874. The Lon- 

 don averages were 44s. or 1,749 quarters. The imports into the kingdom 

 during the third week in May were 968,260 cwts. Fair arrivals of foreign 

 were noted during the following week. The show of fresh samples from 

 the neighboring counties of England was meager, but showed a good 

 condition of the grain. The demand for " English qualities " was very 

 small, and foreign was also very inactive. 



Holders in French provincial markets had demanded an advance, 

 but there was a determined resistance on the part of buyers. During
