The grain markets attracted considerable
attention from spectators and operators gen.
orally during the past week, and an extern
siye business was transacted. The receipts
were somewhat larger, and the shipments
also denote an increase, but still neither the re-
ceipts nor shipments are as large as at this
time last season. At times the prevailing
feeling was rather weak, and again quite tirrl,
but taking the week all through the prevailing
feeling was one of firmness and a higher range
of prices was established. l. shorts for July
delivery showed a general desire to provide for
their outstanding contracts, and up to Saturday
the demand from this source was quite urgent,
especially for corn and oats. The advices from
the East were of a favorable tenor, and holders
/ and operators generally manifested considera-
BILE confidence in the trade. The markets at
the close were easier and outside prices were
not maintained, the higher prices inducing
more selling orders from the interior, while
the weather was more settled and crop reports
we're favorable. The shipping inquiry was
