Should trade, however, continue as at. present, tho time is not very l:tr distant when fresh supplies will he want'id, ftnd consideriritr the very limited r;i.antit,v of good milling wheat still to be di*|iosid of botli ia (lii.s province and Oanfcerbuiy. there is but little chance of prices iveeiliug; meantime holders aro not disposed to quit at any reduction on late rpi .tation ■.

A good deal more animation is being flisiilayed ; at the s line time, buyers are operating with a Rood deal of caution, and are still unwilling to reach prices ruling in the early part of the month.

This applies specially to \vh"it. Town millers, wh'iarn noiv the only I.nvers, have supplied immediate wants, h ,11 oli' the market, and purchase only small lines when son,o concession is olfereii. The 1, 'iidon market is also depres-ed, and although no important, decline is expected by e ei!e, the ileniaiul at all events for the in iiient is inactive. To some extent this ! ult is doubtless dun to tho largo shipincuts which have of Into been made to Kniopc, both from India and the United '■i ites, coupled with the fact that flic harvest prospects in America warrant the expectation of an unusually large yield.
