The New York Stock market was active and buoy
ant to-day, especially for granger shares and trunk
lines and in number of instances the prices made
in the closing dealings were not only the highest of
the year. but highest for many years. The basis for
this marked confidence, especially in Western stock
is the continued favorable advices from the West in
regard to harvesting of Wheat which is in fine
dition and the prospects for large yield and GER
tainly of a heavy demand from Europe for surplus
cereals.
1t is stated that orders have been received at New
Orleans from France for $50, 900 bushels of Wheat
