NOTWITHSTANDING.
Tie only bright feature for the adj
vocate of lower prices is to be found in
our large visi BILE supply, but when it is
known that the amount in farmers
hand is proportionately smaller. even
this bug-bear vanishes. The November
corner brought 100000 bushels more
in sight that otherwise would have re-
NAMED back. Our railroads have not
been blockaded tor day, and the
amount usually in country warehouses
has been brought out, so that there is at
present smaller proportion of wheat to
come than usual at this time. Next
week we shall present actual figures Of
wheat in store in the interior. as well as
proportion of crop marketed.
Our market opened firm this week at
about SO 3-4 for No. 2, and has been
gradually advancing, with small fuct
uations up and down, closing firm this
evening with the tendency strongly up.
The short sellers have fought the ad-
vance hard, and good many timid
holders have sold out, but the principle
bulls are firm and appear to be masters
of the situation Liverpool closed with
further advance OF I'd, but the close of
our session prevented the effect from
being felt here. We should not be sur
prised to close this month with an ad-
nance of 1Oc. per bushel from present
