Wharf.-The market shows improvement.
Shippers evinee disposition to buy, but decline
paving asking rates. Most OF the sales reported
thus far this week have been off grade, and there
fore form no index as to values. Some parties in
sst that fair transactions are being daily consum-
mated for export at figures within our range. To
certain extent this is probably true, as there is
more or less movement of grain from points OF ar
rival direct TO the ships side. On Change tc- lay
carload Of what was admitted to be fair No. sold
for 81 30 q ell, though probably the same could not
have been duplicated. lot OF $500 ctls strictly

though understood to be at full figures. Other
sales include f36 cts coast for Superine, 81 %
200 do superfne, 81 III e. ell. We quote No. l at

comes from Europe to the effect that large tracts OF
grain have been flooded in East and West Prussia,

Of famine are entertained.
