bushels Of white and 3 OILS bushels OF red, against
1850 bushels of white and 4,Ha bushels of reti on
the corresponding day of last year. The market
To-day was not quite as strong US on the preceding
DAY an was somewhat irregular, and u considera-
bic quantity rem aimed unsold, some holders being
unwilling TO make any concessions. The market,
as must have been observed, ran up very fast du-
ring the week until 1t overtoppcd every other
market In the country, and It continued its up-
ward progress even In the face of recent decline
elsewhere; accordingly check had to be looked
for.
Corn day fell several cents below the price of
yesterday, and about two-thrds of what was Of
Tered was sold, prime white selling at $l.2l. One
sale OF q small lot Of mixed was made ut 81 %

Ing 1t has to pay more than large lot would

broken into.

The excitement In the Flour market in this city
during 4 portion OF the week may be characterized
as something almost Wild. The writer of this, In
his search for inform alton as to the status of the
market, had occasion to call in at several commits
sion houses, and In almost every one he found par
ties, both consumers and spectators, eagerly in
qulring for The arttce--the former seemingly I'M
der the Impression that famine prices were at
hand, and the latter manlfeslly believing that
"there was money In It,,
Opinions arc divided as to the future of Wheat
and Flour. Some believe that the war will be
short-liyed, not only because OF the vigor with
which 1t will be fought, but likewise because if
one or the other should begin to get so whipped as
to upset the balance or equilibrium of power
then other Powers will step In and cry, Hold
enough" In such event breadstuffs Will not be In
such active demand, and prices will rule proper
tionately. On the other hand there are people
WHO think the war Will be protracted and will
some OF these 1.-THE speculators) "ihe wish is "a
ther to the thought -; and accordingly they be
lieve prices will rule very high. To all OF which
we say "Who can tell?n
Inc city mills are now grinding, and the panic
stricken consumers may draw some consolation
from that.
