Liverpool statement for the week ending
GENERAL. TRADE.

The boat due from above arrived too late
for its cargo to be put on the market which
had little of interest to report. Corn has be-
come plenty, and as stocks are now fairly
filled and grain is lower In the western mar
kets prices were looking downward. The
New York Bulletin, speaking of Tuesday s
market in Chicago, observes: "Notwithstand-
ing the repeated assertions that the western
farmers had sent all of their grain to market,
and that the yield of last year was much less
than had been supposed, the receipts of grain
at Chicago yesterday were the largest ever
known for a single day, the total receipts ag-
eregating CAS-, 1886 bushels, Ii addition to
1888 barrels of -four. Corn made up 365, 879
bushels, and wheat 120, 269 bushels of the to-
tai quantity. The shipments were also very
large, aggregating $40, 821 bushels. The re-
celpts at Milwaukee were large, the quantity
of wheat being SO, 400 bushels, and the total
receipts 49, 200 bushels The st. Louis
Republican, of Thursday, reported of corn
there: "a heavy supply and prices a cent to a
cent and half lower" No. 2, 35I.c; offers
were received here of corn to be shipped
from St. Louis at 42c. Cornmeal in our mar
ket sold at 81 40 to arrive, later 81 421a was

New Orleans Times, of Wednesday, quotes
it strong at 81 50@2 IS, 81 rs asked, mar
ket bare. Potatoes in our market appear to
have little confidence among shippers, only
one house has yet, began to ship; prices are
expected to rule very low; we find them quo
ted north as follows: st. Louis on Wednes-
day, S1@1 IS, large 1902 so; Chicago on
