TRADE.
Front and other prominent jobbing
streets presented a very summsrlike as
pect to-day, and dealers reported it one of
the dullest of the season. Prices are
about the same as yesterday, but to effect
sales some slight concessions might be
made. Flour has a tendency to higher
rates in this market, and is advancing at
other markets. On the subject Of bread
stufs the New York Daily Bulletin says:
The movement in breadstufs at this
market during the past week (which in
cludes the first Of the arrivals by canal
from the Great Lakes), has been of a
character to challenge attention from be-
vonI the lights of the trade. It assumes
an importance that must affect many in
t~erests.
The sales Of wheat in this market for
the past three days have reached the large
aggregate of 100000 bushels quantity
exceeding the receipts in the same time
at the lake ports. The demand has been
mainly for export, though of course our
mixers have been liberal buyers; and a
business SO largely in excess of expecta-
tfons has naturally developed some spec
ulatiOn. There are some qnlonked-fOr
phases to the market. Liverpool Las
shown great strength, because b has
been getting very little wheat. The rise
which took place in this market at the
middle OF May brought shipments hence
I nearly to a staud-stil. a deusna cf IN
usual proportions has appeared from the /
Continent, aud Liverpool is actually ship |
ping wheat to markets EhbnGe she has
been Accustomed to draw supplies, /
Stocks of -four With rs are small and our
millers are fully employed. The cOnse-
quence is that exports equal to current
~ s---T-a III .aIraHHaa "a ]
stocks. The question, therefore, is one of
present demand and supply. The crop
accounts, except from California, are all
] that could be desired. But these have no
present bearing. The impression pre-
walls that Hour and wheat are extremely
cheap. This Is not true, but it leads to
] speculation. Prices are above the aver
age of years in which the yield was good.
They are higher than ruled all through
the war. The deliveries of the English
farmers are largely In excess Of last year.
But the demand from the Continent, the
accounts from California, and the scarcity I
Of flour seem to have led to a risein wheat
as marked as it was unexpected. The
FiHGRciGL Chronicle argues an important
effect upon exchange from the export Of
breadsgufs. IL says;
The exports of br~eadstufs-of wheat
hOUr in parJicular-during he summer
months of lS89 were unusually large,
about twO-6fghs of the exports Of q ya
in which the shipping demand was mu6bd
above the average. But we see no reason
90 doubt that the export for the coming
summer will be fully as large. The de-
maud from Europe is more general and
legitimate, and less speculative now than
then while other foreign markets which
draw supplies from Us are purchasing
with gIeat freedom. Prices are now
rather higher in gold than last June; so
that our shipments of -four and wheat for
the next three months may be estimated
al SIS, OO0, 600 in gold-an amount that will
seem incredible to n who has not fully
examined the subject. But when il is re-
membered that during the summer
months Of 1863 from this market alofS we
exported 6OO,O0O bbls. -four, valued at
s., 700, 600 in gold, and S,720,0 900 bushels Of
wheat, valued at S9,000,OO0 in gold, with
supplies now coming forward in excess Of
last year, the above estimate of fifteen
million dollars from the whole Atlantic
seabOard will not DO considered excessive.
