a Toronto firm (Howland & Coy has just com
pieted the purchase Of about all the surplus
wheat Of the Manitoba region that is available
1of export. The quantity is not large, ONLY
about loo,0o0 bu, but big increase is expected
next year, SIS the farmers are sowing more freely
this spring, being assured of market for their
surplus, and the trade will probably mount up
Into the millions within two or three yslrs. Tie
Wheat is taken to Duluth, and there placed III
ooDdrd bins, whence it is taken to Toronto ut 4

Corn is stronger In sympathy With wheat,
oats in better demand by the shorts, rye wanted
at 1calvance, aud barley salablc at better prices
to the holder. There was fair shipping move
nent BY rail- but apparently nothing doing for
water Transportation. Tie meeting Of
vessel agents in the morning vas
uuerstood to have resulted in a
determination to stick to the recently-adoptcd
tariff, 4c being demanded for corn to Buffalo.
Shippers admitted that carriers we're drm at
that figure. but talked as it they were not anx-
ious to take any large quantity Of room, even at
&c, and are determined not to pay more. One
OF them stated that he could not afford to pay
&c on ans orders now il. hand, nor the present
rate OF 2oc per loo lbs bY rail. It is believed .
that nearly all the gram now going forward is
being moved on oid; ratcs,-loc per loo los to
New iork. some Shippers thonsht 1t prooaole
yesterday morning that the Vessel-mcn would
voluntarily come down 10 &c on corn' but were
