REMARKS BY THE SECRETARY.
Offerings OF wheat on Change to-day were three
times as large those of The corresponding date Of
last year. Market active very nearly all that was
offered having been sold. Sellers made strong eff
fort 10 maintain $1.4O for very good white and
Lancaster and they succeeded, the representations
and the struggles of the Moscovte party 10 the con-
trary notwithstanding. A member of Moscorite
procliviies referring to the man of Turkish views
who on Saturday proclaimed that wheat weHt;' pot
20 up or down the balance of the season, expressed
himself thus: "That Turk is q monosyablc opro-
site Of wise man. Don't he know that 1t is stated
that the largest crop Of wheat ever raised In South
ern Russia and Bulgaria Is rottng in the bins for
need of transportation? That the Russian Govern
ment having absorbed nearly all the railway loco
motives for war purposes, they are rapidly bciug
used up and DESTROYED In that ruiuous service That
this wheat, which usually finds outlet from the
BluckSca ports, will have to be transported by rail to
the Baltic ports, and large number OF new engines
for.y OF which arc being built in Philadcpha) are
being constructed for the purpose in America and In
Europe? Don't that Turk know that when that
wheat Is let loose 1t will food the English markets
like an avalanche and rush prices down TO q low
figure? Don't that Turk know that late advices
from California say the rainfall has affected the
grain trade considerably the price has been reduced
from ten 10 fifteen per cent, and now, on falling
market, holders will be disposed to sell? This
has always been the case. The 'hold-overs' are
often . day after the fair. Freighls to Lu-
rope are up, and grain is down.. So much against
those who should have sold mt ha1vas.-time. And
don't la know that Geographic dispatches received
yesterday say Of New York, Wheat heavy and
@2c lower"; Baltimore Southern quiet and
steady, western dull, weak and lower; CinCn-
natl Wheat dull; LOUISVILLE Wheat dull !;
st. Louis Wheat Unsettled; Chicago Wheat
lower? Don't that Turk know that 100000
bushels of grain were shipped from New York In
the past season? And yet that monosyllablc crea-
ture, In classical language, such as dossone, as
serts that wheat will go lower. be darned If he
amt 4 -. What do you think, Mr.. Secretary 2"
To which the Secretary replied, Ye must settle The
dispute amongst yourselyeS.'
Corn to-day was in active demand for shipment to
Lynchburg-so much so that buyers laid In walt for
1t ut the door rs it came in.
Oats at stand at last, the cry of Halt made by
the buyers having been needed.
Nobody seems 10 care for rye.
No doubt some Surk will approach the Secretary
now with an argument to prove that wheat viii 20
up.
