Wheat was &C higher, and Hpecuiativc1y ac-
two, on the strength ct reported flrmneas in
New York, and better demand for export
on the Bcatoarl, while Liverpool was unc!,ang
cd. But the advance took tho life out Of the
shipping demand, leaving the market entirely
i'll the hands Of the people Who deal ia mar
einal references" 10 the exclusion Of the text.
The receipts were again liberal, but the specn-
l4tiye feeling Was strong. Il Is argued that
England must yet import % million bushels
to supply her deficiency to the time Of hasvest.
aud it is feared that the crops in many places
have been 90 much injured by the continued
drought az, with the decrease in tho breadth
planted, to din,inlsl, the average yield. or
course these croAkings about short crops are
always heard at this time Of the year. but they
have now gained greater ctedence than usual,
owing tothe recollection that this u cycle year.
1s54, 1888, 1882 /, and 1876, are all credited in
hlstory as being years Of failure; theg arc Ill
vlded by intervals Of sixteen xearH, aud that
interval claims 1870 81 the next knot in the
cord. A great many people in the country pay
attention to such things, whero city people
think them beneath notice, except as mere CO.
inridences. Bnt the country orders often con-
troll the market, the great mass Of operators
cn the floor being really little more than the
| representatives Of country speculators. il
| good many orders were in from the country
to-day, and pushed up the market, The ahip-
ping demand being confined to the low grades.

Corn was active and irregular, at an average
OF 2]zc advance on yesterdays prices. The
stronger feeling was produced by lighter re-
.ceipts, and an almost absolute certainty tuas
that within few days the receipts wilt be
probably very light. temporary wcakness

Oats were active and &c higher, advancing
in ~ mpathy with corn, and, in visw Of tho
reported drought, a very liberal crop Of oats

having been SO extensive as to materially re-
duce the amount Of oats available for use pro.

this crop will fail but it may bo reduced. The
