Wheat Was moro active, at about the Same
range as on Friday. The market was rather
weak early, owing to discouraging advices from
Liverpool, though that market WAS not quoted
lower, which brought out hoavy offerings

Ill Liverpool. more actiTe speculative demand
that the February deliveries had not only been
provided for, but that 30 much had been taken
up to carry iuto March that there would be but
little cash wheat carried round on Monday. It
was also thought probable by great many op-
orators that both Liverpool and New York are on
the turn, having fallen as low as they will bear !;
hence greater willingness to take
hold. There WAS no inquiry for shipment ex-
cept for other grades than No. 2, but the offer
ings of cash wheat we're all willingly taken for
carrying. We uoto that the comparatively low
price prevailing on No. spring for long time
past has induced parties who hold No. for ship

Corn was more active and less steady, at an
average decline Of 4c, due to an early report OF
further depression IN Liverpool. There Was,
however, q good speculative demand at the de-
cine especially in the latter part OF the session,
when private advices from New York quoted
that market as a shade frmer, and the steadier
feeling in which helped confidence in corn. It
is stated that considerable part OF the new corn
resists all attempts to shell it in the country. o.,
account Of it's excess Of moisture due to the fact
that it WIS secured in IN immature condition. It
is said that but little OF new corn will be nblo
to bear the ocean passage, ind this beuef has
caused brisk European demand for corn OF tho
old CROP which resulted in the recent sharp rise
in prices. Tbs discrimination between old and
new corn is already greater in New York than
here az our distil1ers have taken the latter quss
freely, to manufacture alcohol for export to
Europe. Some Of their contracts are no" about
to expire, aud they may want less corn in week
or two than now. Seller March opened at
