REMARKS.
The offerings or Wheat and Corn on ,Chanse
were abou. what might be ex pee ted when the con-
d!tion Of each crop is taken into account. TIE
offerings Of Oats wore more than double what
they were On the corresponding date OF last
year. The n zrket for wheat to- day showed no
change. Corn was active and q IN at the rates Of
tho preceding day. There was but little done In
oats, holders being unwilling 10 make the con-
cessions demanded By buyers; moreover, the de-
N and was light ; a. tbs same time prime spring
holds up TO soc. 1t win be observed that the prices
OF corn and oats are now very nearly alike. while
at this time last year Very good new corn sold OF
Soc, and very good spring oats at 4dc.-a very
vide difference.
There are people who assert that the corn crop
OF the S.ato. as uho,c, will be "immsnssly
abundant" We believe that this Is an extraVa-
giant cLlcu,ation ror while II Is true that In some
sectors OF the state there Is very fine cop, yet
In other parts 1t suffered greatly from drought.
We haarit said that there are orders In the city
no Y for corn 20 be shipped south, and we know
that shipments of wheat bought on Change have
cccu recently IN de from this city.
There Is nothiug new or exciting In the -four
market.
