London, 23 The Mark Lane Express Ex-press says: The weather this autumn has heeu very favorable to northern ariculluriBts, and the apprehensions (ell some five or six weeks ago for the ultimate uiifety of the crops proved groundless. Iu the north, wintry weather has sot in accompanied by a heavy fall ol snow, aud the outstanding out-standing corn, which, however, is inconsiderable, will stand little or no chance ot ripening. Farmer jiippeared determintd Uj lose no time in sowing and have been devoting Uieir cuertiiea thereto rather than threshing. This is testified to by the small supplies which have beeu received re-ceived at the country markets, and also by the active demand for seed wheat. Under this pressure an advance ad-vance of one to two shillings per j quarter has taken place iu ronie instances. Tbe improvement, how where factors have not been success ful iu establishing an advance. Nevertheless, the tone ot the market has not beeu depressed for English wheat. To the natural inherent strength of trade, based upou the enormous consumption requirements ol the country, must be attributed the fact that, although last Monday's return showed that the week's imports of foreign wheat into London was nearly 95,000 quarters, previous rates wore maintained for all except American and Indian de- arrived at that period which may be censidered a crisis in tbe trade as far as regard the influence of imports upon prices. The rapid approach of winter will positively withdraw Russia as a source of supply, and if so marked a decline takes place before ibe actual closing of the Baltio ports there appears ap-pears sufficient strength in trade to withstand the action ot America without with-out our present range of values under going any alteration during the winter. These remarks must only be con side red of value supposing no change takes place in political affairs, as any pacific demonstrations on the part of the contending nations would uu nrtainlv weaken the situation as a sudden termination of the war in the east would depress the value of wheat, |
