Tho exports from New York during the past
week include II 500 brls flour, 300, 500 bu wheat,

Our wheat article Of this morning Was intend
ed to read to the effect that 50s per quarter for
wheat in England was the lowest price named
for this year by those of the English writer's who
have discussed the probabilities Of the future in
wheat prices.
We note that some complaints are being made
to tho effect that the recent falling OF in the re-
ccipts Of grain at this point is due to the un-
necessarily severe character Of oar inspection,
which is sending largo quantities Of grain to
Milwaukee that would otherwise come here.
These complaints mag bo quickly and fully au-
swered. First, our inspection is cs nearly uni
form as it ever was. and rs it is possible to mako
it; secondly, the falling of in receipts la

in prices, which caused country holders to hang
back for favorable turn in quotations, third,

hare, great deal more wheat having been sold
thero for this month ehort than eau possibly
be received thero, which tends to cause better
prices there than in Chicago; and lastly tho
peculiar facility with which wheat is graded
in Milwaukee according to tho section
it may come from is not raralleiod
in Chicago, and ought not to bo. There Is now

the market may be selfish, but it is not always

The Chicago produce markets we're generally
