Wheat was moderately active. at 1c advance
on yesterdays Prices, in sympathy with the
rise IN gold and tho other etceteras Of the for
eiGn complications, Which Keep our markets ir
ttate Of feyerish excitement. The market
was advanced early by European uews, as in
addition to tho reports of continued xarlko
attitude, and the resignation OF the French
Ministry, contained in the morning papers,
there was private Information that tile French
representative at Berlin has been called home.
But the hrLnuess WAS probably due, more
than anything else, to the fact that Eastern
parties are buying largely in the West, whether
1or war usea Or net is not known. We men~
toned yesterday the fact that six cargoea were
bought for direct shipment, chiefly by way Of
Kingston, and the purchases, for this purpose,
OF yesterday and to-day, in Chicago and Mil
YANKEE. exceeded those Of ten days previously.
New York was firm but not much higher;
whence We infer that European buyers are ne
glecting the seaboagd to make Their purchases
direct in the West. The demand in some quar-.
ters was quite imperative; one operator took
the accorded privilege Of receiving about 1O0,-
COO bushels Of cash wheat early this
morning which was coming to him
On options for the last half. In doing this, he
charges On insurance and interest between
this and Saturday, thus paying 70 per bu to
get the grain two days earlier thani it was prom
tsed to be delivered. This IL gratifying. We
have great deal more wheat il store than we
ought to have at tins season, and it should be
moved out to mako room for the new crop.
which will soon como pouring in upon US IN
large quantities. The old wheat has kept
wonderfully well, considering tho poor quality
Of the last crop. It is still souud in elevator,
though few expected it would keep sweet to
tats time "A few parcels have been reported
slightly soft on arrival at the seaboard, but
this was all No. 8, which has paid tho shippers
much better than No. 2. There was good
deal Of business done in settlement, to-
day, at about &c difference between cash and

Corn was rather quiet, and irregular, within

prices than yesterday. New York WIS htmsr,
and holders here advanced their views in SYM
patty with the wheat movement, hut there
were few buyers at tho appreciation, and
eellers we're obliged to concede or keep thei5
property. Toward o'clock buyers appeared
in greater forco, and prices wero hrmer.
There was good shipping inquiry, and more
doing in options, as operators wero settling up
