FiEsKCI2L AND COMMERCIAL,


ness generally was brisk. In craio, particularly,
| there wse immense activity and huoJaney, bn.
the demand VAS wholly speculative. and We have
| TO note an advance in ptiees slnce yesterday Of
6Gs3c on wheat, and 1Q2c on oats. With regard
| to wheat however, tho advance waa caused By the
TACT OF The market being excessively "o7e1so!d,"
and moi in cons. qucDce Of any improvement In The
market clseH here. When what falt belnH fila
the impression WAS very general that 1t woald 80

came eager sellers for forward delivery, and the
consequence WAS that "spos Whsat'' becAma 30

little consequence; but ono or two

markable that whest fell S1.s5 pr hushel In this
market without nnele fallure haYia. taken
place. and Jet IN advance Of 1oe has caused sever

mind, however, By cur resders that these fa,1ures
caurot possibly affect tho husness OF our city or
arr Of our legitimate merchants It Is oniv
matter oi surprise that thsy did not occur sooner.

mere specu!atfons, the futures viii b. rather
beneficial than otherwise.
