The British Grain Trade.

press, in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says : Despite the dry weather,
and cold east and northeast winds last week
the wheat crop is more than usuallypromis-
iMg. The plant is excellent and would soon
respond to suitable weather. 1f the season
is favorable there is the making of a more
than average crop. The outlook for barley
and oats causes anxiety. The wire worm
is busy. In the off coast market there is
little scope for business. There were throe
arrivals, three cargoes sold, two withdrawn,
one remains. Sales of English wheat the
