GRAIN-CoRN-During the past week several
cargoes have arrived which sold at advance
Of 10 cents on former quotations. This advance
was owing to the scarcity of stock in dealers
hands and light receipts. The addition made to
the present stock has checked the advance, and
though no sales have been made at lower figures
the feeling is dropping, and do not think
that cargo arrivals could repeat the sales for the
past week. The sales have been as follows One
cargo OF 1,225 bushels sold at 80 cents two
others of $50 bushels each at 49, cents an
other of / 200 bushels at SIX cents, and another
cargo Of very superior quality at So cents. The
stock is only fair with good demand Sales are
made for jobbing lots from store at 90 to % cts.
