In our usual weekly summary OF the movement
of grain at the principal Eastern and Western
ports, New-York makes better comparative
showing for last week than it has done in
the preceding weeks; the total receipts al
this port having been 2,411,477 bushels, against
1897 sSS bushels at the three ports of Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Boston. But the receipts by rail
at New-Yorl continue to exceed the receipts by
water, having been last week 1,431 ,6l5 bushels
against 978302 bushels by the canal. For tho
same week last year the canal delivered ], 2GO,414
bushels, against G2S.001 bushels by the railroads.
At Buffalo the receipts by the lake were about 3OO-
900 bushels greater for last week than fol the pre-
cedng week, while the receipts by rail were about
10000 bushels less but in the shipments from
that city the railroads took 913,550 bushels,
against the canals 704.519 bushels. AT Chicago
and Milwaukee the receipts continued large. bu6
the total shipments from both ports last week were
about 100000 bushels less than for the preceding
week.
To days stock market was even duller than yes
terday's the total transactions amounting only to
76 200 shares, against S. 900 shares yesterday and
11O,SOO shares Monday. The business
was not so well distributed; the stocks of the
Northwestern, st. Paul, and Delaware Lackawanna
and Western Companies contributing to the total
80 700 shares. The general temper of the market
yibrated between strength and weakness, the lat
ter quality prevailing at the close, so that
generally the final prices showed fractional
declines and were about the lowest of the day.
