Thert was good attendance on Change to-1ay,
and rather large aggregate OF business trnns-
acted, through prices were again lower, all ruun1,
both on grain ami provisions. Wheat and corn
we're both quoted lower In tn" private dispatches
from Liverpool, ami New York was also weaker.
Hence, the overloaded holders here were nnabla
ta preserve their drmneas, though prices did not
drip extensively. The shipping movement was
very siow. especially on wheat, though there was
moderate inquiry for vessels, and freight rates
tended upwar'Is. Vessel owners think that rates
must advance considerably ere long. They say
that the low rate charters have been made by
parties In the bear interest," and that the vessels
they control have all hceu worked on, 60 that the
regular owners will now be able to command their
own rates. total Of twelve charters were elect
cd today, 1T 6Hta exc for conn., an1 &c for wheat,
to buffalo: 1ec for corn to Oswego; 1e.sc for
wheat to Kingston, and 6stc for corn TO Port Col
