with lhe notion, no doubt, that she who fights and
runs away, will live to fight another day. The
market opened at Sl7O for prime white and 90 for
prime rcd which was &c less than the price OF the
preceding day; hut 1t still went down. the highest
figure at the close being Sls7i for prime white and
Sl.57s for prime red; and If sales were forced,
lower figures than these would have to be taken.
Corn seems to stick at or about 81 30, figure
which buyers seem to think Is sufficiently high at

decidedly lower CSC bushels were left over unsold
and soc was the highest figure realized for prime.
