There was less interest shown iii the grain
markets during the past week, and, although a
fair speculative business was transacted.
the markets were comparatively quiet.
The frmness and advancing tendency gave
place 10 a weak feeling, and, with the exception
of Thursday and Friday, the daily ten

The Nav option was the chief center of attraction,
the longer futures ruling comparatively dull,
while but "a limited business was transacted for
immediate delivery. The recent liberal advance
i'm values left good margin for operators on

their contracts and were therefore less anxious
to buy Numerous selling orders were received
from the interior and from other markets. In

the market for the week. cash grain should not
be taken into consideration az the daily
changes in the storage of receipts made very

actual change in storage, but the

vegetables either in hot-beds or in pots
