There was full attendance on Change to-
dsy, and an active set Of markets in grain,
with higher PRICES There WAS far less grain
offering than Eas anticipated on the option OF
seller Last half, and it was found that many Of
tho shorts were unprepared to deliver until
largo amount Of cash grain changed hands. and
more settlements were made than usual New
York being generally quoted f1mer, the shorts
rushed in to day, both for this month and next,
afraid to wait longer, and there was also fair
speculative inquiry for holding. This gave
insisting on better prices. Sill the difference
between the nominal pricos Of regular grain
yesterday and to-day is not au real, the sales
Of yesterday being on the basis Of 43Sc stor-
age &c for Hinter. and 10 foz 6 d1ys to run),
while the sales Of to-day we're % made On ths
hence. The comparison Of cash prices to-day
must be made with the "sel1er Last bali" Of
yesterday. The shipments were again large in
proportion to the receipts, and the reports re-
ceivel from Northern points were not Fener-
zlly favorable to the crop prospects, though
from the South grain is reported IN excellent
condition. All these causes combined to cause
great HImness in prlcea-
