The exports from New York during the pas
week include o6,750 brls flour, G49, 900 bu wheat
and 422 900 bu corn.
Winter wheat in this market is in condition
which may sccm anomalous to those WHO are no
we'll posted few weeks ago it was difficult tt
sell red winter wheat at the prices that were cur
rent for the corresponding grades OF spring. Snct
then it has commanded slight premium but il
still slow, our millerB not caring to take hold oi
! it. This. however, is not the caso with the am
Ter wheat grown in the southern part Of this
State which is worth 10D15c per bu moro thar

the st, Louis quotation.
The Milwaukee Journal Of Commerce., in m
article on the wheat supply, maintains that the
present depression is chiefly due to short sellers,
who will be knocked "higler than Kite be-
foTo the close OF tho next month. It says that
| the short salos in Milwaukee exceed the probable
| receipts OF the next five weeks, aud that An ad-
vancing panic is immiEent. Tho Indications here
scarcely point in the labt~named direction.
| The st. Louis Globe thinks it has discovered
tie reason why that city has no wheat market in
the sense III which that word is understood in
Chicago. That reason is that tho market is run
in the interest Of the ST. Louis millers alone.
The Gt1be says:
We haye the utmost respect for the right Of the mill
ars to touci taste and handle every sack Of grain

Tho leading produce markets wore unsettled
to-day, with u tlnge of weakness, and less busi-
doing than OH Friday. The receipts con-
tinue ample and in excess Of the shipments,
giving an increase Of our stocks in store, and
rather heavy feeling on the part of holdere

fell this morning. The trading WAS chiefly spec

for special mention were noted in the coal, wood,

though most domestic varieties display weak
ness Fish are receiving more attention, and
prices are looking up. Both lake and saltwater |
fish arc cheap in comparison with meats-a fact |
which consumers apparently are beginning to
realize, as the demand now shows improvement,

Orders for lumber continue to come forward
