FOREIGN MARKETS. 



Wheat. — 'The season for breadstuffs in Europe is in marked contrast 

 to the last two seasons. In England, August closed with a long stretch 

 of beautiful weather, which put the year's gathering entirely out of 

 harm's way, the bulk having been harvested in the finest condition. 

 This change in the condition of production could not fail to produce a 

 rapid fall in prices. The markets for new wheat suddenly came down 

 from OS. to 10s. per quarter. In several county markets the best white 

 did not command more than 50s. This movement, however, has proba- 

 bly reached its minimum, and may be expected to be followed by some 

 reaction. The complete exhaustion of stocks in England will necessi- 

 tate a steady demand for at least a portion of our surplus. France
