from thls port during the mcnth Of October ha1
oeipts at Chicago and Milwaukee have been
greater than were ercF known. Enough uncer-
tainty oyeshangs the general question to render
tha continuance Of activity in the market quite
probable. Nothing is positively known w,tb re-
gard to tho alleged deficiency IN the cEops in
Europe, and latterIy q cry has bean raised To
the effect that our Western crop il also short.
At this season Of tue year the dealers usually
circulate all kinds Of Trports for the purpose Of
Influencing tue markets; such stories should be
received with great caution The market open
ed on Monday with sosne activity, and an sd-
rance was realized; this Was followed, on -four,
by pretty sharp decline; this aguiu led to an
upward movement, and renewed buoyancy but
yesterday the unarkes closed heavy aud lnani
mate, the closing prices being shade lower
than those which were current on Monday last:
The receipts during the week, Of both grain a,l
-four, have bfen unusually heavy, and though
the demand both for consumption aud for ex-
port has boon Ateady there Is little or no Ces'rc
to speculate, or to buy fur the rise. Al riesent
prices shipments to Europe net 1oss IL the
shipper; nor eau there be any clear prospect OF
subStantl advance in England be:uir the
enormous accumulations Of stock now piled up
IN Liverpool, London, Bristol. de-, base bern

couragiug to spectators.

ns*rcial Bulsttia speaking Of The reported sales
Of large parcels Of -four and wheat tor tie Eu-
ropesn market. SAYS:
We are not inc mad to change cur views, fse-
quently expressed, not from III, unwilingness

two or three years, unless u, those who can af-
ford to sacri6ce the lesser amount in auticina-
ton Of gaining the greater. The producers and
the milfers at the West are sending their wheat
and -four to market, and ne believe they will
continue to do so.
Hoes At ST. Lor1s.-The Missouri Democrat
of yesterday says:
There arc some Hog dealers in from the conn-
trr. trying to sell their stock. The weather for
few day past has been suitable for packing,
but only sufdciency Of hogs are yet coming ia
for the butcllers-for city usc-and few for
shipment. II is now thought by our packers,
that If money matters should ease up some, the
opening price may be e. nctt. but it will depend
much upon money matters whether This rate will
be sustained.
New YonK HIDE MAR5Er.-Weizel 4 Weilc-
meyer say in their weekly circular:
Ths sales OF the week are considerable, and
the arri ivals have been light, and some rcduc-
tions Of our hitherto extensive stock Of Hides
in the importers hands was submitted to. 1'o.
wards the close Of the week, River Platte Hides
recedcd ia price to csc; principal holders, how
ever, are unwilling 10 continue selling at tile
decline, rs The above rate will not cover the
cost Of new imporlatiops. In view Of the re-
ported decline Of 90 per cent. ut Buenos Ayres-
from t5 to 55 reals-it should be borne in mind
that the rates Of exchange, on the other hand,
hare considerable advanced, thereby rendering
the act, III decline equal only to IL to u Z cent.
Dry Hides-The local demand has been fair in
extent; purchasers from neighhoring markets
continue quiescent. 4 small demand from Can-
ada has been supplied, and sandry purchasers
for expectation 10 Europe are being continued.
DRY Sailed Hides hare ngain relapsed into
condition Of dultness. Our stock is now much
reduced and firmly held beyond the riews Of
purchasers. Upper Leather Hides-Cows Kips
and African stocks all reu,rin neglected. The
trade manifest little desire to operate in them.
Wet Sailed llides-A fair business doing ii,
domestic Hides and foreign Or Hides; Cows are
more quiet. The export demands for Greeu
Hides continue on moderate scn1e. East In.
