The grain market was unsettleds to. day,
owing to the reaction in the Chicago market,
and corn and wheat declined. AS conse-
quence prices nominal, and it would be
difficult to quote the market accurately. The
Bulletin of the 18th, in its review of the New
York market says:
Advices by cable as to the political situation
pointing Enthusiastically to war, tended to slim
ulate operations, in part by the further devel-
Opmont OF the speculative ana served
also to strengthen values. Foreign reports as
to the course of trade and the range of values
in this connection were decidedly favorable.
Very moderate movements of supp les toward
the seaboard and rapidly diminishing stocks
here have been likew of weight in enabling
holders to place important quantities OF both
ures. Corn, through free offerings was excep-
tionaIly depressed and irregular toward the
close on reduced volume of transactions for
both prompt and forward delivery.
The amount of grain in store here, accord
ing to the latest official report, is now down
earlier. 70lS, 4Sl bu weeks since, 3,7l9Sol bu
this time last year, and ,6l2 43O blu at the cor
responding time of 1875. The aggregate of
wheat now in store here is 332, 7O5 bu, against
l,5l7,276 bu on the preceding weekly return,
1890, 522 bu weeks since, and 2,43O,SfO bu at
this time last year. The amount OF corn in
store here is now reduced to 606,l2l bu. The
aggregate ofbarley shows falling off of $500
bu; that of rye, of about Al 900 bu that of oats
an increase of about Is 800 blu, and that of malt
of about 10000 bu.
In the latest estimates of the visible supplies
of grain. an increase was noted OF about 10000
bushels in the total of wheat, with decrease
of about 10000 bushels in that of corn, and of
ing on Of about $500 bushels in that of bar
| ley, and about 233,0O0 bushels In the total of
oats. High prices have thus far failed to
wheat, beyond what had been previously in
| cluded in the estimates of the stock in sight,
and this circumstance has been urged by ope-
rators for rise indication that the
| reserves yet in the hands of producers are very
! light.
As illustrative of the recent very marked
| ri e in -four and grain values In this market,
the following comparative tables of the quota
lions c1rrent here at the dates specified, pre-
pared by US, is of special interest. Accom-
panying the prices of breadstuffs, are the rul-
