WEDNESDAY. July 23-P. N.


Tho r,coin+s Of grain at this port during the week
ended Julv % were unusually large, amounting
80 e3g 22 bushels, against 137S, 7G9 bushels for
rho nreceeding week and 1,615,602 bushels for
.Ie same week of 1875. But the extraordinary re-
coDts were due to the small delivery of the week
bsf,re because of a break in the canal that de-
Iorad arrivals Last week the canal delivered
o Osz sos bushels against only 265670 bushels
tbe week before A noteworthy feature OF
our usual weekly summary Is the large re-
CENTS of wheat at Baltimore, amounting to
I ESQ G47 bushels against 5CS,S 500 for the same
wreck of last year. OF all grams, the receipts were
$50 GO9 bushels, against 693,91S bushels IN 1873
The receipts at Baltimore last week, both of wheat
and other grains, were greater than the deliveries
N New-Yorll by all the railroads Boston and Phl!-
q9elpla each received larger quantities than during
the preceding week, and Philadelphia 229,loO
bushels more than during the same week IN 1915,
while Boston hardly held Its own. At Buffalo, the
receipts by the lake last week were 46O,OOO
bushels less than for the preceding week
and $4,000 bushels less than during the
same time in 1878; while the receipts
nv the m lroads were 800 600 bushels more than in
the preceding week, and $4,000 bushels more than
durirc the same week last year. Yet the lake rates
for grain have ruled at about 2Q27l cents per bushe
from CHICAGO TO Buffalo. These facts show that
there has been real advance IN the railroad rates
In the shipments from Buffalo the railroads led the
canal 2G0 900 bushels the canal making gain on
lis own business of last year of 10000 bushels, and
the railroads gaining 100000 bushels. AT Chicago
the receipt of some new Winter wheat made the
tOtal receipts for the week 100000 bushels more
tlluin the preceding week, but they were $4,000
bushels less than the amount received
during tie same week of 1873. The

was large falling OF IN the receipts the total for
the week amounting to only 10000 bushels,
against 527, COO bushels last year; and the ship
yDeDt also were about 100, 900 bushels less
The stock market to-day was completely inun-
dated with favorable crop reports from the North
west While the frequency with which these re-
norris were repeated furnishes ground for sus-
piclon that their extensive circulation was for
effect upon the stock market, it IS beyond ques-
ton that for the last few days the Northwest has
euioved weather as favorable to the growing crops
as could be desired.
The latest estimate Of the acreage Of wheat
sown in Minnesota this year Is about 100000
acres. The average yield of last year upon this
acreage would make the total crop of wheat for the
State Of Minnesota a little less than 33,000000
bushels. while the average yield Of fifteen bushels
10 the acre would produce about 200 900 bushels
The most trustworthy reports do not estimate
the yield of this year much above that OF
last year which was 100 bushels an acre.
Nevertheless the reports of to-day were made
effective not only in staying the decline of prices
for stocks, 1Ut IN giving to them sharp upward
turn, 90 that i'm some Instances more than the en-
tire decline Of the last two days was recovered
The total Transactions for the day amounted TO only
117.sOO shares against 10000 shares yesterday
and 800 shares on Monday.
