Wheat averaged 1Sc lower end was tame,
though the principal object Of interest on the
Board. The kilograms from New York and Liv-
erpool were not discouraging to holders, as the
decline on the other side Of the Atlantic, made
public to-day, was reported privately yester-
day, and was known to all the leading operators.
But our receipts were nearly double the report
ed shipments, and traders in wheat seemed to
have come to the conclusion that our receipts
will run from 80 600 to 81, GOO bu per day through
the winter, which will load us up pretty well by
the opening. Of navigation, with little money on
which to carry it, and much of that money wanted
to invest in corn and pork products. The market
YVES quite weak during the former part Of the
session, but then one operator took hold rather
freely, buying some 100000 bu before he got
through, and this made sellers more confident,
80 that buyers were obliged to advance their
views in order to obtain more. This WAS proba~
bly, what prevented more extensive drop. Sell
