Liverpool was quoted easier, and Ne" York
WAS quiet, with slight movement from the sea-
board during tho past waek. Our receipts were
small, aud there we're ra1buylng orders from
the country, which caused strength early bnt
the orders wers coon filed. and then things ruled
dull, with the trading chiefly on local speculative
account, and nothing said about q corner be-

Oats we're active, and 14@11c higher, being
in good demand, both on option account and for
shipment. The receipts we're moderately large,
but the shipments Of the past week harereduced
our stocks in store to about 100000 bu and this
stock bids fair to be much further reduced the
coming week, leaving but few to 70 round on
the Juno deliveries. Hence speculative strength.

in times Of the greatest bull excitement. Ths
