Wheat was moderately active, and easier, at
about the same range Of prices as yesterday

Fridays regular sesslon. Liverpool mas quoted
stronger, and NeH York WAS decidedly healthier,
several sales being mado there for Chicago par
ties at m ndvance. One lot OF ten boat1oads Of
No. 5 Chicago spring which had been ''blowcd"
in Buffalo sold 1T ;sl.10GD1.1219. There Was also
an increase IN the amount OF wheat exported
from New York during the past week. Hence
many holders here wore strong in their views,
bus others expected M advance and wanted
to take advantage OF it, especially
as they anticipate an increase in receipts the
coming week, and poor shipping movement
from this port. The offerings were thus in ex-
for shipment to- day. The chief business done
was in changing over from December to Jauu-
ary anil tue pressure to sell the formcr and buy

Corn Wac dull and irregular. Old averaged
about 1Gc lower than on Friday. though IN larger
supply, there being still considerable line of

market tweal, however. though Liverpool and
New York were quoted stronger New corn feb

believed to be g1aled as regular is stimulating
shipments from the country, and many farmers
are reported to have stopped cribbng, for tho
