Wheat was nctiye and very irregular, rang
ing about &c higher thnn the average on
Saturday, with 9 good degree OF d1mness,
especially towards the close. The transac-
tons were, however, principally speculative,
there being but a smal demand for shipment
and local use. The receipts have
exceeded the shipments for several days past,
which is not d pleasant fact to contemplate at
this saason, just after the close Of navigation,
with storage accumulating at the rate OF
about 81 200 per day On wheat alone. But the
shippers seem to be afraid to take hold in view
of aayiees that the principal ports in England
are still full Of wheat, while samples aro being
sent out from liverpool to other narkots in
the hope Of making room for grain awaiting
storage. The hover grades Here quiet. The
Irregularities Of price were due to conflicting
reports from other pisces. The market Fas
