The grain afloat on tho Erie Canal includt
= 100000 bu wheat, and 822, 600 bu corn.

. Tho lending produce markets we're rather more
r active to-day. but chiefly in speculative way
there being much lcss doing for shipment thar
usual The receipts continue large, especial,
r in corn and the recent attempts to move tht
grain out ns fast as it comes in seems to have
been abandon ed. Hence there is a rather raD,d
accumulation, which will probably be changed
to decrease only after the labors OF the harvest
have drawn OF teams and men from the
roads to tho field, md allowed the country
depots to set clear In readiness to receive the
crops of this year. Europe and the East are
weakening, the former under anticpationH Of
Abernl home supplies, and our vessel interest is
stlll operating at rates which bate1y pay current
charges, without reckoning interest aud doure-
ciation- Hence lower prices arc looked for in
breadstafIs, while the tendency in provisions
seems to be the other way.
There was but slight change in any Of tho fea-
lures OF the dry-goods market. The inquiry for
the leading staple articles seems to ba on tho
i1lcrcaso. but the trzde ts without special anmu-
ton, buyers still adhering to the hand TO- mouth
policy. Groceries wero active as could reas-
onably bo expected at this stase Of the neason.

Lumber was quiet. Tie offerings aIont were
