Wheat was excessively quiet and weak oil
through the session, the market being In much
the eame lifcless condition as noted for a week
rast, AMI as exhibited IN the datly Aggregates OF
sales reported below. Prices were quoted little
higher, IN consequence Of greater nrzuncsa iu New
YoEk, where the gold quotation has put up prices
Of grain subject 10 export. But there wns no life
In the market, md no shipping demand, thought
WAS easy to calculate out several cents IN lagor Of
the shipper between this point md New YORK, at
present rates, The truth is tnat there seems to
be 4 lack Of confidence Ia tho atlcle-a fear that
prices win decline before the property could reach
the scaboard-and few arr willing to risk It. The
nlilers were about the only parties who
took cash wheat to-day, and they but sparingiy.

tracts already out, aS large proportion Of tho re-
celpts are being inspected as rejected But no one
wanted them TO- day, and the work al the session
