| Wheat was less active, and often dull, but
| steady ut 4 decline Of 1}sc from yesterday,
though Now York was quoted firm, and Liver
pool was stronger. The probable reason was
that the shorts did most Of their filling in yes
terday, and had got over their scare. At the
same time, the few holders OF wheat, outside tho
combination who control most OF it, we're very
little disposed to part with their property in view
which have further decreased our stocks to the
extent of 115.000 bu, while some operators arc
disposed to think that tie stock of wheat hero
on Saturday last is considerably less than the
532, 257 bu which result from allowing the def
c!ency reported by George Armour d Co. It is
not probable. however, that the etoeks will be
found to vary very much from those
diminished figures; and re shall know next
Tuesday, as George Armour i Co. are
now measuring up, and some OF the other waro-
hoasemen will also know just where they stand.
They nll measure up during this month. There
was no shipping demand to-day, except for few
car loads to send out By reil, Seller December,

Corn was loss active, and 11&@ac lower, though
reported strong in New York, while our receipts
are Light and stocks are small. But these facts
failed to bring ont buyers. The bulk Of the

not all the corn here, did not want to
put the market up on themselves There
was very little buying for shipment,
