THE GFAIN TRADE.

London, July 8.—The Mark Lane Express, in its review ot the British grain trade for the past week, save: The agricultural prospects causo very grave apprehensions. Should the rain continue, the hay crop will be useless, except as manure. The condition of wheat is unimproved. Barley in heavy land is nearly ruined. Nothing but the speedy advent of sunshine can prevent almost general failure of the principal crops. In consequence of the weather and light supplies cf England, wheat has improved a shilling a quarter in some of the country, n.arkets, but despite of the firmness of holders, it has been difficult to estao lish any advance of homegrown in London. in the face of the liberal arrival and low prices ot foreign varieties. Previous rates, however, have been well supported, especially tor choice parceW, and the tendency is rather towards an advance than decline. Large foreign arrivals have not caused a scarcity of grannrv room, as a large proportion has *one direct to the millers,who bought freely to arrive, transactions on the spot having lately been confined to the retail want* of small millers. Maize has varied tut little, but is rather against sellers. Arrivals at port* of call have been small. Oil coast wheat was firm at slightly improving prices, particularly toward the close. Maize was steady and unchanged. A good business was done in forward wheat, particularly red winter, July, August and September shipments and prices imptoved six pence per quarter. Maize was not freely offered, though the late cheap purchases could not be repeated the demand still s^ack. Last week's sales ot English wheat amounted to 34,904 quarters,at 42 shillings 4 pence per quarter, against 18,202 quarters. at 46 shillings per quarter for the same period last year. Imports into the United Kingdom for the weekending June 18 amountrd to 1,415,942 hundred weight of wheat, and 214,2SS hundred weight of flour. At Mark Lane, Monday, the supplv of English wheat was again small, and prices advanced 1 to 2 shillings per quarter. The supply of foreign wheat was fair, and it advanced one shilling. Flour advanced 6 pence per barrel, and oats 3 pence to 6 pence per quarter. Maize and barley were steady.

IN PARLIAMENT.

London, July 9-—The House of Commons last night, despite some objections by the government, voted 76 to 56 in favor of the establishment of a department of agriculture and commerce under a special cabinet minister.

In the House of Lords the Government Irish University bill was read the recond time. The debate tended to show that the government may hereafter consent to additions te the bill tending to satisfy the claims of the Irish Catholics in regard to endowments. Thus Lord Cairns, while still opposing direct endowments ot denominational institutions, pointed out that the University of London received some thousands yearly for the purpose of rewarding those who "passed an examination, which is open to all comers. He said he was sure that if the senate of the proposed Irish university were to come to Parliament and say that in order to advance education it would be advisable to offer exhibitions and rewards, no objection would be taken on denominational grounds.

The Times considers that this is a plain, intimation to Catholics to get their university first and ask for the money afterwards. This opens the prospect of a settlement of the university questions.

THE HEBREWS.

A Large Convention of Congregations at New York.

New York, July 8.—Tho annual convention of the Union of American Hebrew congregations began this morning. Thdre was a large attendance, and great interest was taken in the proceedings.

Morris Loth of Cincinnati, President of the Union, called the convention to erder and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Geottheil, Coroner Ellinger delivered an address of welcome to the delegates. He hoped thi* Union of congregations would last as long in this country as in Judaism. Simon Hoff, of Washington, was chosen temporary chairman A. Binsninger, of St. Louis, temporary secretary. Committees were then appointed on credentials and permanent organization, and when these had retired, Dr. Sonneschein, of St. Louis, by request, made an address. He congratulated the delegates on such a large gathering of the representatives of Judaism from both the radical and conservative branches. He said he was glad they have met in Sturtevant Hall, made memorable by the preachings of Prof. Felix Allen. This sentiment created a good deal of excitement, and some delegates called the speaker to order. Half a dozen delegates were on their feet addressing the chairman, but the uproar was so great that their voices could hardly be heard. A motion to take recess until the committees were ready to report was lo6t. Dr. Sonnescheim then concluded his remarks, which were of a congratulatory nature at the success of union.

The committee on credentials reported favorably on over 2co delegates, and the report was adopted.

The permanent organization reported the following for officers: President, Wm. B. Hackenberg, of Philadelphia vice-president, Moritz Ellinger, of New York, secretary, Lipmen Levy, of Cincinnati assistant-secretary, A. Binsninger, of St. Louis. Moritz Loth, president of the executive bo^rd, submitted his report. The teport says the sentiment of the Union in Israel has grown and spread among our people in every section of the United States, for every patriotic Israelite readily and clearly perceives the benefits to be derired from every Israelite's becoming a member of the Congregation. To strengthen the congregations with membership and to bring every congregation into the Union, should be the aim of every Israelite who desires to see the standard of education elevated, and the people advanced to a higher plane on the way to perfection.

New Yoik July 8.—Letters of congratulation from several prominent Hebrews in Paris, London and elsewhere were read. A number of ivitations to visit institutions were received and recess taken.

Young offered a resolution that a committee be appointed to confer with the officers ot various institutions for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of pla#ing the institutions upon farming lands, so as to be able to instil upon our youth a course of theoretical and practical knowledge of farming, and a desire for agricultural pursuits. The preamble sets torth that it is deemed necessary for the furtherance of the indirect interests of co-religionists in the United States to foster, &>llow and pursue agriculture and its kindred branches, and that the happiness, prosperity and independence of rising generations are greatly depending upon this i.«ue also, that 6ome cf the charitable institutions directly under their care, such as the orphan asylums, could at once be made to form the nucleus best adapted to reach this end. The resolution was referred to tne Committee on Agriculture.

The council adjourned. TO DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The sixth council of the union cf American and Hebrew congregations resumed its session to-day. Rev. Dr. Sil venthal, chairman of the special mission on the course of study from the Hebrew Union College, presented a unanimous report on the subject in which he said he was happy to say all differences between the clergy had been settled.

The report was unanimously adopted. Rev. Dr. Merdes, Chairman of the Common Union College, presented a report recommending at once the establishment of the college and the erection of a building for such purposes in Cincinnati, and adverse to the establishment of a branch college in New York, owing to the fact that until the college proper in Cincinnati is felly established, no branch is permissable accoading to law.

THE PANAMA CANAL. Special to the Indianapol is

Journal:

Washington, July 8.—There is a great deal of talk in official circles about the Darien canal scheme of M. De Lesseps, and the energetic steps be in* taken in France make it probable that the subject will be brought before the Cabinet before long. The general feeling among all parties is against the project, unless it can be brought under American control. How to accomplish this is the question being debated now. It isgener ly conceded that this will be difficult uoless the government votes its credit to aid the enterprise. It could be done by having the company organized under an act of Congress or of some State Legislature. If this were done it would make little difference haw much of the stock is held abroad. The Pacific railroads are understood to look with jealousy upon the project, and will use their powerful influence against it if it should ever come betore Congress. They urge that there is no necessity of this-line in view of the fact that there are already lines enough projected across the continent to do all the business. Unless a strong private corporation comes to the aid of the government it is not clear how it will carry its point ol either gaining control cf the canal or preventing its construction
