RECEIPTS OF ALL GRAINS.

The two northern ports have gained over the
receipts of last year 32 per cent. while Baltimore
and Philadelphia have gained 32tOrOO per cent.
The receipts at Buffalo last week were large,
amounting to 4243,O97 bushels, against $685. 74O
for the preceding week and 3,375,231 for the
same week of 1878. and the lake boats last week
delivered lager proportion Of the total than has
been usual this season. The canal last week Sc
cured about two-thirGs of the shipments thence
toward tide-water-a reversal of what has been the
previous rule of this year. The receipts at the lake
ports of Chicago and Milwaukee Were less than for
either the preceding week or the same week of
1875 aud much less at Chicago. The decline at
Chicago as compared with last year. no weyer IS
not due 20 a smaller movement but TO diversion
of large proportion of the movement of the Winter
wheat of Kansas and Missouri to Toledo, where the
receipts are unusually large.
ConslrerIng the late great and rapid advance IN
prices, the stock speculation to-day developed more

per cent from prices at their present DIZZY height,

The first sales made to-day were at figures a
fraction below the last Of yesterday, but
the decline quickly followed by sharp
recovery. Afterward the fluctuations were ire
quent and wide, but IN almost every in
stance each vibration touched lower figure
on tine downward swing, and tailed on the reverse
movement to reach the bes- price of the previous
