Tuesday Evening, Feb. Z, 1860. !
The transactions in the grain market we're hea
visr the last six days than the preceding week,
the receipts being considerably larger. The mar
ket for wheat was quito active, and at times ex-
cited, with strong competition between miliers
and speculatcrs. closing weak. The bulk ot the
receipts for some time has been taken by Messrs.
Evans, Chew Co., who have hsd control of the
market. Their contract for ono hundred thous.
and bushels for . southern mill has not yet been
filed, There has been less grain fourei here
! this season than for some years back, although
more has been marketed. Tho speculative de-
nland for wheat - ruled the market u such
extent rs to prevent millers from realizing any
margin from Hour at the marks. price for wheat.
Enough is manufactured, however, to supply the
home demand which is but oierAtc. Our mar
ke, ha. been a: the sam, cures, or nearly so, as
at Chicago for some time. The Press quotes the
market quiet with limited sales at - 65G4 so for
