!he following grain has been received since
o'clock this morning; 108 cars wheat; 331
ed DO; 50 cars and 8, 600 bu oats; cars. rye
and cars barleE. Total (50s cars), 321 900 bu,
Withdrawn yesterday, for city CONSUMPTION
,2sl By wheat; 6,o69 bu corn; 4,57s bu oats
and 314 bn rye.
The receipts Of grain arc liberal, and cspec-
ially those Of corn, which has been said to be
exhausted. And the Indications are that the
receipts will continue to bo largo for some
time to come. Tho farmers have held back
during the depression and now seem willing to
accept the improved terms offered. Reports
are to the effect that large quantities OF corn
abao wheat, while Minnesota and Illinois viii
contribute fair quota to sweu tho receipts.
So far as high prices are based on expectation
Of scarcity. there is probably not much feun-
dation for fear, but it must be remembered
that the lack of confidence in quality had much
to DO with II ihe e1t1eme low prices Of tie vim
ter, and that that cause has disappeared,
while there is more money at command now
for Investment in grain, tho provision seasou
being orer.
The shipments are also increasing, which is
. gratifying sign Of confidence. Shippers have
held o6 during the rapid advance in prices,
and thus kept freight ratess down to low
point, Now they can generally afford to o.
eIate at q profit, and arc investing moro hbcr-
ally in tho forwarding movement.
The markets have hung on the weather Tor
few days past. The Indications now are that
tue weather is favorable to good crops, though
paEched soil ia reported ia some sections. It
IL reported that the prospect in Northern Iowa
was never better, is fair in Southern Iowa. and
favorable IN Minnesota us whole, though tie
reports from come portions Of tho latter State
are not c0stteur de rose. drop in prices was an
taclpated today owing to the rain; but ii was
found that there was not enough Of It to make
any material difference, and what weakness
was visible was more due to liberal receipts
linn to any other cauEe. The speculatiya "a
mand ma was 60 strong that even this weakness
disappeared long before tho end Of the season.
