date last year. The price Of prime white on the
18th July, 1863, was 42.7o-prime red, o.so. Tho
market to-day brisk and prices about the same.
Nearly all that was offered was reported sold-aId
here let say a word about the Importance of re-
porting offerings and sales. II. for example, 5000
bushels wheat be reported offered and hnt 1000
bushels reported sold, while at the time It
has been all Sold the effect on the minds Of the par
ties who send grain here when they IL reported
In the newspapers that but small portion has
been sold, will he that this Is n dull market,
and consequently bad place to send pro-
duce to; whereas, If the whole amount offered
bc sold, and 80 reported, the conclusion natu-
rally will be that the market is an active and
brisk one. and consequently good place to send
produce TO. OF course 1t Is not for us to say any
thing about the OF the terms p. t.. that is the
buyers and sellers business. We only refer to the
accurate reporting of the quantity, and beg re-
spectfully to cali the attention OF members of the
Exchange to 1t, for 1t Is plainly to their interest
that complete reports should he made Moreover,
there is no labor or Inconvenience in doing 1t. 1t
only requires little reflection on the importance
of it to insure compliance with what We suggest.
Corn to-day was sought for, and realized an adj
vance. Oats, too, In much demand, and two cents
better.
