Wheat was in rather better demand, though
not active, and averaged q shade higher, New
York being irmer, especially towards the closo.
There was much better demand for car lots for
shipment, and all the current receipts Of car
lots were freely taken, North Side houses being
Disseminated against. as for some time past.
Options were in fair demand from the local spec
ulativo element, but there were very few OUT
side orders on the floor. The fact is that, since
the country specnlators Were 30 numerically
squeezed by the corners Of last summer, they
have fought very shy Of the Chicago grain mar
kets, SO that great many brokers who used to
do q fair business on country orders have now to
Lie buck aud look on, unless they choose to spec
ulate on their own hook. Hence We shall prob
ably have q very quiet winter in wheat Seller

Corn was very quiet, but firm, and averaged .
shade higher than yesterday, in sympathy with
anything, but the receipts we're relatively light,
only increasing our stock in store to the extent
Of about 10000 bu, and holders offered very
little. Hence the few shorts who wanted to fill
were obliged to accede to the demands of sellers.
As in the case Of wheat, there were no outside
ORDERS on the floor to buy, and there we're fow
to sell, because present prices are not very
tempting, and country holders feel that at least
before sending in their grain. Seller the month,
or cash No. 2, opened at 3015c, and advanced to

EHEAT SURPLUS OF OREGON.
The Oregon Bulletin has tho following: We
can now very safely estimate what will be the
Of wheat received go far ttis season here from
the interior to the estimated amount in the
interior that will hare to be explored, and
We obtain o surplus Of $4,000 tons. In this is
included $500 tons Of last years wheat not sold
10000 tons about 10000 tons will be manufac-
tured into aour and exported, leaving 5000 tons
to be shipped in tho grain. There have been
loaded, SO for this season, five vessels carrying
96.e .e2o centals Of wheat equal to 4.846 tons;
three vessels capable Of carrying about $500
tons, which, with the amount previously ex-
ported, mako 4 total Of about 5000 tons, leav-
ing g., 900 tons here. To market this amount
We require all Of fifty vessels Of the average size
average than the five loaded here this
season, then we will require ffty-two Yes-
sells; but the difference is SO small that it is not
worth mentioning. The above estimate isbaaed
upon the opinion that our niIlors will export
