wheat coming here is, general thing, difficult

cleaned and there being variety Of samples In the
same lot. This gives much trouble to both sellers
ana buyers, and of course seriously impedes sales
| We would say TO our own farmers, too, that many
OF them do not clean their grain as well rs they

same time they blame the commission merchant
for depreciation which Is their (the farmers')
own fault.

the same as on the corresponding date of last year.

slant say that during the week ending on that date
the Wheat market has shown but little change
prices have been firmly maintained, and transac-
tions quite free though principally In ordinary
grades when sold here, the bulk Of choice shipping
being bought IN the country. The rise In the Liver
York from $l.70MSl.T5 to Sl.750Sls5, has caused
much ilrmcr feeling here, and while sellers de-
| manu an advance, buyers are shy, ana prefer
waiting the result Of the advance abroad. Rates Of
freight are understood to be held higher, and II
this be So, the market evidently cannot command
Sales are reported at $3.50 for shipping but very
little is taken over Sl.75GESl.77i. Milling Is de-
handing the extreme of the market for choice, and

So seriously has the protracted drought affected tho
corn crop that producers are generally holding
