The receipts of Wheat AID Corn during the week
have been somewhat in excess Of those of the week
previous, and oats largely so, though all and par
ticularly wheat, are mach behind the season, only
about coo bushels OF the former having come in by
canal since the opening.
| The wheat market for the week, not only here but
elsewhere, has been almost uinterruptsdIy dull,
heavy aud unsettled and though no material change
has been effected prices from last weeks figures,
the tendency has bfen chiefly toward a decline, and
shippers have been holding back for lower market.
The fact is, with the market at its present range,
there is no margin whatever for shipment, the price
Of red wheat in Buffalo and in this market being the
same, and in the New York market difference only
Of 25as2c existing, with freight to Buffalo s@sc per
bu-hs, and thence to New York 20c per bushel Thus
the market hers is really high as in New York,
and about Sc higher than Buffalo The ruling range
| of the seek has been sI,5O4I,52 for red free on
beard, though some lots have brought 81 53G1l IS;

sl50al5I, with some sales Of very choice at c above
the outside figures To-day Ohio red sold at e, $50
| Lay on track, and q, 80 ires on boa.d.
Flour has been very quiet during the week the de-
mand coming almost entirely from the home trade.
Generally, the sales reported do not show any
prices Of wheat hardly nstiying lower rates for flour
than now prevail and until there is radical decline
ia wheat, we shall not expect to quote flour below
| present figures.
Corn has been in only moderate request during the
week, but the closing figures of last week have been
maintained.
Oats have also received only moderate inquiry,
but have ruled firm from store, nominal decline of
le on track having been noted on Friday. Bye and
