FOREIGN MARKETS. 



Wheat. — The decided winter weather about the middle of Noveni' 

 ber, in Eugland, was favorable to the growing wheat, by checking its 

 luxuriance. Farmers had become uneasy at the unusual growth of 

 the i^laut, fearing that it would work ultimate injury to the grain. 

 The slight tendency to ujjward prices had realized no important re- 

 sults. The Paris market, however, had shown an improvement of 1 

 shilling per quarter in wheat and 1 shilling 4 pence per sack in flour,

 was in rapid shipment, both to France and England. Growers have 

 exhibited great disappointment at the prices realized, and have reduced 

 their offerings. Holders are also withdrawing from market in Belgium, 

 Holland, and most parts of Germany. Hungary is exporting very 

 scantily. Odessa, with increased supplies by water, is still shipping 

 largely at full rates, although advices from western Europe do not 

 seem to warrant such buoyancy of prices. The sales of English wheat 

 during the second week of November in England amounted to 54,695 

 (juarters, at 44s. 5d. per quarter, against 58,180 qua.rters, at 60s. 9d., in
