Wheat. — Tlie latter part of September was very mild iu the British 

 Islands, with very serviceable, light raiiis, facilitating the breakiug up of 

 the grouud, somewhat parched by previous dry weather. The raiu at 

 mauy points was injurious to potatoes, thus throwing a heavier task of 

 feeding the population upon the cereals, especially the lower descrip- 

 tions of wheat. ISTothing is visible in the wheat-trade to bring specula- 

 tors upon the market. Small fiirmers, being somewhat pinched, are 

 freely giving out their hoards, causing the millers to think that they 

 hold the mastery of the situation. Prices during the third week of Sep- 

 tember fell off 1 shilling per quarter. Foreign wheat is also iu full 

 supply. In France prices had given way, but with indications of 

 diminished supplies. The west, center, and north of France are more 

 affected than the south, where an effort seems to have been made to 

 maintain previous high prices. Of 114 French interior markets, 14 ad- 

 vanced and 1 showed a tendency in this direction, 13 were firm, 33 

 were without variation, 8 were calm, 44 declined, and 1 showed a 

 downward indication. Inferior grains remained generally firm. But 

 little change is noted in Belgium, Holland, and Germany, while at 

 Odessa it was hoped that the fineness of the grain would eventually se- 

 cure better than the ruling prices. At Algiers a dead calm prevailed in 

 the wheat-market. 



The sales of English wheat during the third week of September were 

 72,254 quarters, at 4Gs. M. per quarter, against 62,693 quarters, averaging 

 64s. 7(7., during the corresponding week of 1873. The London averages 

 were 47s. M. on 4,849 quarters. The imports into the United Kingdom 

 during the week ending September 19, were 859,150 cwts. In Mark 

 Lane, Essex, and Kent, new white brought 45s. to 50s. per quarter ; 

 ditto, red, 42s. to 46s. ; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 42s. to 46s.
