The proposal to mass the receipts Of winter
wheat here in two or ttree elevators is warmly
indorsed By some Of the shippers, who have ex-
pcrienced difficulty In maktng up cargoes with
out having vessel towcd around to several
different houses -
We note that the present grades OF winter
wheat we're established for the express purpose
Of cffecting separation between the Northern
and Southern wheat. It Is understood that the
Wisconsin winter wheat would not be graded as
ured ~ or "whitc,n however red or white it
might be, but would be simply designated as
winter, Hence holders OF winter wheat grown
in the North may count upon receiving for it as
much as is obtained for other winter wheat
grown In the same section.
Some of the folks on 'Changc arc Railing
quietly at the action OF railroad official, who
operates in the direction OF Pennsylvania. It
appears that he wanted 49cas the rate for trans
porting lot OF seeds to an interior point East,
and refused to take less; whercupon the ship-
uer made contract to have them taken for
about half the money, the seeds being carried
part of the way over the road in question
Wheat was stronger early, as consequence
of news OF unsettled weather in England md
foods in France, but the advance could not he
sustained, the market ruling quite weak in the
latter part Of the session. There was not much
doing; first sellers, and then buyers, being
somewhat more chary than usual. There
was better shipping demand for winter
wheat at improved quotations, round
lot Of 15,0oO bu No. 2 red changing hands at
s1,00; but No. 2 spring Was very dull, being en-
trely nominal most OF the time* No. spring
was SLOW but firm, aud rejected was strong.
We note that our stock Of wheat appears to be
lessened to about 2, 500, 900 bu, as consequence
of a free shipping movement last week. Corn
was rather slow and irregular, in sympathy with
wheat, the later feeling being one OF dullness.
Oats apain declined on only moderate rece!uts, the
reason being apparently dearth OF shipping Or
ders. Provisions were decidedly strong, and ruled
much eteadier than usual on rise, the demand
being fair throughout the day, and hogs were
stronger on small supply,
Lake freights were less active, with little
change in rates. Wheat to Buffalo was quoted
at SIC, and corn to do at Sc, carriers generally
asKfng Xc more, and being unable to obtain it.
Through to New York BY lake and caual was
quoted at SIC for corn, and 914@919c for wheat.
Through to Boston nominal at 11@12c for corn.
Rail freights were steady at 2oc per 100 lbs on
prain to New York, but little doing at those
fonres. Through rates on meats to Liverpool
were quoted at 50@5014c per loo lbs, and 61]]7c.
to Antwerp.
There was Hight city and country de-
mand for staple and fancy dry goods, at steady
and unchanged prices. In the boot and shoe
trade continued quiet was noted. Prices re-
main strong. The movement In groceries was
Of generous proportions, and prices we're again

df3ed fruits remained firm. There Tas slight
advance In prunes and apples, and the tendency
in raisins was upward. Fish were quoted
as before, excepting No. whttetsn, which
Vas 10c per Il half-br1 lower. Tie butter mar
