The general receipts Of grain to-day not large
while those of Wheat are very small.
The fatulenoy that has besn marked chArse-
terlstic in this msrket for weeks past has been re-
duced, through the heavy decline in Gold and the
consequent unsettling Of all valuts, to complete
prostration, and there is literally nothing what
ever doing along the river except in tring retail
way, nor are there any buyers even at the conoes-
slens, which under ordinary circumstances would
be considered srge that sellers disposed and in
many instances ,ffsrlng to make. The feoliag that
pervades commercial circles at present, not only
here but elsewhere Is one of feverish doubt which
Of course paralyzes all ths sineEs cf trade; and
though there are those who profess to be abe to
see through the fog, they show no willingness to
20 beyond the limit which the timid prescribe
for themselves. But the fever for "holding' is
very evidently ebbing aud there is much more dis
position TO realize now than has been noted for
some time past; Tut the misfortune Of the present
condition of trade Is, that every dealer has to 8
certain oTteat, been a speeulator in his eagerness
10 make more money by initiation than In ths legit-
innate channel, and when the question Of ceiling
comes with the pressing foros that now character
ICES it, there are 10 purchasers Those articles,
therefore, that have bean hoard5d become drugs
upon the market, and ths value Of thsm becomes a
question solely with the consumer, aided by the
reaction Of speculative competition. It is impos
sble to dict with any degree of certainty what
courEs Gold will take, but there is maniiesty good
reason for IeiieviDg that It will not realize any ma
terial advance upon present figures, and in this
event other values, (uot depending upon eztTane-
causes, as in the Of HighW nss) il they do
not yield materially, cannot be expected to apDre
eiate. There can be little doubt, therefore, that
many saorifces must be made by tholo who have
been doing business under ihe dilastrOus specu-
lstive system Of carrying stocks for higher prices
instead of the Legitimate, time-honored custom Of
"quiok sales and small profits
We heard Of no sales Of Flour or Grain to-day,
and we are able to give only nominal figures.
Wheat vas offered i've cents lower than yesterday,
but there was no disposition buy short Of a con-
eession Of fully ten cents. In the Provision lins
we note sales Of Pcrk and Lard at unchanged hg-
ures, the market closing moderately firm. There
Is no.hing doing in Dressed Hogs, and the packing
season may be considered closed. though perhaps
few more may be cut when the Money market shall
DO in condition to justify further Investments.
It is doubtful, however, whethsr the figures now
being asked will be obtained. In Produce no have
not single sals to record, and are sbe to give only
nominal figures. Hsghviues ara firm at cur quo
tations, but without activity. We quote az fol-
