Wheat was loss active, and averaged 1s@Ac
| lower. There was less demand, owing to tile
easier feeling in New York; but holders were
rather firm in their views, seeing that the re-
ccipts Of tho day were only fair, and that our
STOCK in store has been diminished nearly
50,C>J bu during tho past week BY liberal ship
ulents. Tho demand for shipment was fair to-
day, but there WAS less wanted for carrying,
owing to the limited inquiry for the May option
except in settlement. Seller clay opened at

Corn was active and easier, averaging s6c low
cr. There were adyices from Liverpool, but
cur receipts were moderately large, giving an in
crease in the volume Of offerings; and the re-
ccipts at New York were also sufficient TO pro
duce weakening there, which reactld on
Chicago. Tho troubles on tho Eric Raslroad
have locked up the corn in transit over that
line, and n1ade New York strong On account Of
relative scarcity; but that corn is now beginning
to move. The news caused aa especial Weaka 4
ing in April corn here, owing to very hber:d
offerings, the May premium widening to fully
