Buffalo, sgsinst SC this tirno last year, with
an averge supply Of vessels. A cargo Of
III, 900 bushels of oats was Iended on one
steamer on Saturday, the largest cargo
ever loaded. Since the opening of the
month, the market for broadstuAs has
been weak, and values have declined,
though occasionally a temporary hrmness
and reaction occurred. Tho receipts OF
grain have increased considerably during
the past week or two, farmers not being
as reluctant abou. sending forward their
supplies ss during the month OF Septem-
ber. Holders have evinced more desire
to realize, and the offerings have been lib
eral throughout. Besides the above iniu-
ence, tho rather unfavorable intelligence
received from both homo markets and
abroad, aided in depressing values. Spec
ulative operators have traded with con-
siderable caution, and their operations
have not been extensive, they rs general
rule being somewhat undecided as TO
which course to pursue. With the rather
favorable report OF the European CROPS,
aud the Prospects that there will be a
marked decrease in the continental de-
mand for American grain, operators are
generally Of the opinion that lower prices
will prevail. Our crops have been ample,
and as farmers have deferred ,ending
their grain to market as early rs usual, q
large amount must necessarily yet be for
warded before our receipts will be proper
