The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the Ilritieli grain trade, nays : Hroadly speak ing, tho weather favored the stiongest and most forward wheats, and prejudiced other growing ciops. It is impossible as yot to estimate the results of the wheat hanost. Present indications tend in the direction of making tho best better and tho inuifferont worse, Business in foreign wheats has lapsed into a state coma. Jn cargoos oil coast little is doing, Theio were eight arrivals and three sales. beven cargoes remained, among which was one of California wheat. About forty cargoes arc duo the present week. isolations lor cargoes lorwaru are nominal, and there is no inquiry.

Crop Prospect. Ciik'aho, .luno 24. From reports 10 eeived by tho Farmers Itoviow as to tho wheat prospects, there is a promito of full average crops, but not an enormous yield. Tho average yield promises to equal that of 1883, with increased acreage. Keportu from Dakota aro uniformly of a favorable character. Minnesota has a promise of 75 per cent, of an averago crop. Wisconsin gives promise of a full average crop. The prospects in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are only fair, and have shown no improvement since the last report. The yield in -Michigan promises to fall under tho yield of last year. Hex)rU from Missouri are discouraging in tone In Kansas the outlook it cood. but not quite so promisiug as a month ago.
