Seventy-five stock ewes and theaves were sold in lots of five at figures ranging

THE ENGLISH WHEAT HARVEST. 
The wheat yield of England is light this year. As threshing progresses, the 
deficit becomes more apparent. The quality is variable, the weight running 
from fifty-five to sixty-four pounds, much of it under sixty pounds per bushel. 
The deficiency will be greater than at first supposed. The imports into London 
for four weeks in September were 1,318,592 bushels, against 474,840 bushels 
during the same time last year. The entire imports of the United Kingdom for 
the four weeks ending September 14, were 2,998,037 ewt. wheat, and 184,297 
ewt. flour. Russia, as heretofore, furnishes the larger portion. 
France will also be in the wheat market for large purchases this year. Any 
surplus the United States can furnish will be taken in Europe, at rates remu- 
nerative to our farmers. 
‘ THE WHEAT TRADE OF THE WORLD. 
A recent French calculation gives the price of wheat per quintal in various 
countries and at various points, as follows: France, 35f. 59c.; Algiers, 32f.; 
Bona, (Algeria,) 34f. 50c.; Brussels, 38f ; Antwerp, 34f.; Bruges, 40f.; Namur, 
37f.; Cologne, 34f.; Frankfort, 31f; Rotterdam, 42. 85¢.; Geneva, 33f. 50c. ; 
Turin, 31f.; Liverpool, 36f. 25c.; London, 37f 75c.; St. Petersburg, 26f. ; 
Odessa, 29f. 70c.; New York, 29f. 75¢e.; and Valladolid, (Spain,) 32f. 50c. 
The highest price would thus appear to have prevailed at Rotterdam, and the 
lowest at Odessa. 
AMERICAN WHEAT IN ENGLAND. 
Consul Geo. J. Abbot, of Sheffield, England, writes thus to this department 
concerning grain imports from this country: “It is stated in the Times that of 
the wheat importations during the month of August, amounting to 3,295,622 
ewt., forty per cent. was supplied by Russia, and nineteen per cent. by Prussia. 
The United States stand next, our proportion being ten per cent., thus indicating 
a commencement of the promised revival of this branch of American trade. Last 
year, in July, the United States sent only 8,000 ewt., but in August of this year 
there were sent 337,224 ewt,”
