anv new feature il we except n moderate supply Of
commercial bills on account of shipments OF bread
stuffs.
The stock market was heavy at the opening OF the
week, with declining tendency, and while It ex-
hbited more strength the close it has been IT.
regular throughout The total business has been
insignificant, amounting to the purchase and sale Oh
only 554, 900 shares, Of which 36s,OOO were IN
Western Union, Lake Shore and Pacific Mail
though the feature of the market, which was deve-
oped toward the close of the week, was sharp
advance in some Of the Western stocks, North
West and st. Paul particularly receiving its
impulse from the reported increased movement
of grain at the West. Facts to justify the re-
port 80 far az wheat il concerned; but IN corn and
other cereals there appears to have been no material
increase over preceding weeks The quantities OF
wheat and corn received ut Chicago and of wheat
received at Milwaukee for each of the past three
week have been at Chicago for the week ended

At Milwaukee for the same period the receipts OF
wheat have been:

1t will be seen by the foregoing that the move
mcnt of wheat for the past three weeks has been
steadily progressing one from the producers TO the
markets. The receipts for the last week compare
with the corresponding week Of last year as follows:

Thus it will be seen that the receipts of wheat are
about double what they one year ago, while OF
corn they only little more than half what
there we're then. This palpabe improvement IN the
movement Of Western grain may very reasonably
account for an advance in the stocks OF ralroads
known as wheat roads, running west and north OF
Chicago and Milwaukee while it seems quite insult
fcent to account fol- an advance OF z per cent IN
Lake Shore. For notwithstanding this increased
movement, the freights from Chicago to Bur
fllo by Lake Shore reduced Late in the
week to 2l2 cents per bushel for wheat, ana
pa cents for cOrn-a lower rate than ever before
known, and equal to less than Is of cent per ton
per mile by rail from Chicago to Buffalo. Whether
this rate is remuneratve tO the lake craft or not
nothing is more certain than that it is a rate with
which no railroad can compete without serious loss.
Therefore the advance in Lake Shore may, perhaps,
be more truthfuy ascribed to the freight OF the
shorts who are now rushing in to cover. While
about one-haf the active list shows loss and
the other half gain for the week, the
tendency of the market seems TO be IN the
direction of higher prices just now. BY an exam
