Wheat WAS active aud stronger, though New
York was reported dull. TAore was very gooc
demand, both speculative and for shipment
which absorbed all the offerings, especially al
our receipts we're again smaller than the recent
average. Our market tumbled from 81.28 tc
s1.22 under the accession OF large Quantities Of
tight money market without reduction IT
prices. During the last half Of this decline q
rather long line Of shorts was thrown out, the
sellers operating under the impression that the
in volume some Of these shorts have takon the
a1arm aud filed in very freely to-day, though
the demand for options WAS chiefly local. Ou1
foreign exports have nearly reached 750, Geo bu
for the past week, and there is another reason
for strength, thoug it has not yet brought out
might hGye been expected. The winter wheat
crop Is seriously imperi1ed by the weather OF
the past few weeks. No snow on the ground or
If any, then just enough to melt during the
with the rain TINT has fallen freely in other
sections. Reports from several points state
it as probable that fine fields Of wheat appear
to hayo been entirely ruined by the frost: owing
to the lack OF the natural blanket usually fur
nlshed from the skies at this SEASON. We do
not deal in winter wheat here to any consdera-
BILE extent; but q failure Of that crop would
bling out an increased demand for spring wheat,
which must advance prices. Our market averaged
11lc higher. Seller February opened at $1.24A,
s1.2514, fell back to s1.247ll, and closed firm st
s1.25. Seller March sold at $1.2755@1.28H,

Corn Was in fair demand, and averaged 11c
higher, chiefly in consequence Of smaller re-
celpts, md in sympathy with wheat. There WAS
no material change in the character Of the ad-
vices from Liverpool CT New York. The 70
ceipts OF yesterday werereported as only q, 800
bu, and the inspection Of this morning was IS
cars. It is very probable that this falling of is
principally due to the damp, warm weather, which
has been scarcely interrupted this month, and
has inteEfered with shelling and hauling in the
country. But the fact is there, and some
operators begin to fear that the remainder Of
the winter will be equally spring-llke. Hence
a more active speculative demand, especially
from the short interest, with moro inquiry for
the May option than on Friday. Seller Feb

wheat and corn caused oats to move upwards in

Rye was in good demand, and advanced 1c, IN
sympathy with corn, and RS consequence Of
continued Light receipts. It is understood that
several orders hava been here for some days
past, and held back in hopes Of more liberal
supply, but some have grown tired Of waiting.
