entire grain market has exhibited no change
of tone fluctuations of prices. The move
ment OF corn has been about equal to that OF
any preceding week for a month or SO past,
and the export demands to the surrounding
country have been unusually large. Without

tons have taken place, but the market may be,
with safety, quoted from IS to 50 cents for prime
qualities. The receipts have fallen OFF cons;d-
