kAIN-The grain market cf the
week has been more active than usual,
but rs vet we are unable to note ans
uuotable change in the market, while one
the contrary, we have to report dull
and lapguishing feeling. Tie supply
of currency will not a.lnlit OF any
speculative movement st present in
the grain market, as the exigencies for
money is greater Cor other branches of
trade. rather than 20 be placed in pro-
ducts Of the sill to any extent at
present. In view Of this fact the de-
mands Of dealers has been restricted
TO the current necessities Of the mo
laent. and as the supply from Northern
ports continues large. there has been
some depression in the market. Corn

crop have arrived during the week, but
in the absence Of any active enquiry,
there has been some depression in the
