FOREIGN MARKETS. 
WueEAT.—The thrashing-machine has dissipated the hope cherished by 
British farmers and traders that the fine growing weather of the later 
season had remedied the injuries of the winter and spring upon their 
wheat-crops. Dissatisfaction with the actual yield is most strongly and 
generally expressed in the eastern counties. The latest general esti- 
mates claim not over 24 or 27 bushels per acre as the average yield. 
The grain, however, is fine, plump, and very heavy, averaging in many 
localities from 65 to 67 pounds per bushel. This development cf the 
situation resulted in an advance of 1 or 2 shillings per quarter in nearly 
all the English country markets, yet the new harvest has been but 
sparingly marketed. The views of the farmers as to the coming de- 
mand are in advance of those of the buyers, who are disposed to regard 
some of the representations of disaster to the crops as extravagant. 
The metropolitan markets have not yet responded to this local advance, 
but hold more firmly to previous rates. The English wheat-trade is 
more under cosmopolitan influences than formerly. The large supplies 
reported in America and Russia render a general and decided advance 
a matter of serious risk. The varying requirements of continental 
Kurope constitute an element of uncertainty, but statistical inquiry is 
bringing it within more manageable limits. . Among the new enterprises 
undertaken to facilitate this inquiry is the International Seed and Corn 
Market of Vienna, which was opened August 21. Herr Devez, head of 
one of the bureaus of the ministry of commerce, appeared in behalf of 
the minister, and in an interesting speech cordially gave the indorse- 
ment of the imperial government to the movement. A statistical re- 
port, read by Herr Leinkoff, estimates the wheat-crop of Hungary at 
800,000 hectoliters (2,270,000 bushels) below average, while the Aus- 
trian crop was expected to show a surplus of 500,000 hectoliters, 
(1,418,910 bushels,) leaving a net deficiency for the Austro-Hungarian 
monarchy of 300,000 hectoliters, (851,346 bushels.) Of the other bread- 
stuffs the Austro-Hungarian territory will show a decline of 1,900,000 
hectoliters (5,391,758 bushels) compared with an average yield in rye, 
a surplus of 2,300,000 hectoliters (6,527,006 bushels ) of barley, and a
