Market.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 19. Foreign market firm and
shade higher on spot; wheat steady and un-
changed on cargoes. Our market opened a
shade higher but ruled very irregular with but
limited fluctuations. Trading was very light.
There were but very few outside orders and
our local operators are about in the same stu
alton as Balaam's jaokass. They couldn make
up their mind which side to take, therefore
they did nothing, Cash or July wheat is firm,
both here and in milwaukee, especially in the
latter place, where the stock in store is insig-
niicant.
Corn is beginning to show up and anticipate q
pretty lively time in this article; several firms
having been selling and selling all the time
boasting that they had the corn in their coun.
try and we've going to swamp us in this and
next month The situation now, however, is
that there is q tremendous demand by shippers
for the cash stuff. They are Just climbing to
get hold of all for which they can get shipping
room. The shorts begin TO pick up their ears
q little and those who promised to flood US
say that it doesn't pay to shell corn. They
don't see or won't admit their real reason. Why
the corn is not forthcoming is most probably
because there is not as much back in the coun-
try as formerly b2lieved. The result of all
this is that cash corn was 1870 over August
and now 1870.
Provisions steady and firm with but little
trading of any account to day.

ENGLISH GRAIN MARKET.

LONDON, July 49, The Mark Lane Er-
press says: The weather continued showery
and unsettled. Heavy rain in certain dis
tricts laid the grain crop. The excessive rain
fall at this critical period tended to emphasize
the firmness which has recently character
lied the grain trade. Owing to the deple-
ton of granary stocks of English wheat,
prices have been well sustained and in some
cases were slightly higher, but the
offerings were SO small and the quail
ity so inferior that the choice has
been much restricted. Consequently
there has been good demand for such
qualities of foreign as can be substituted,
notably Austrian and New Zealand, which
readily brought from forty nine to ffty-one
shillings. Red wheat continues unusually
scarce, particularly Saxonska and winter
American. both of which are readily taken at
fifty-three shillIngs, extra store. AS that n
spite of the good harvest prospects in Amer
lea and Europe there appears little chance
of any decline in the immediate future. while
the possibilities of smart rise are quite on
the cards.
The stocks of wheat in London, July 1,
were nearly $4,000 quarters less than the
same date in 1879, while it is estimated that
the total of about 136, 600 quarters included
large proportion of foreign white, which
during the past fortnight has gone rapidly
into consumption. The stock of maize is
also largely diminished. In both the market
was quiet, but in the case of maize this was
chiefly due to the scarcity
of spot. Sales were readily made
on Friday at "a shillings. Continental
buyers were also in the market, but their
operations were restricted by the lack of
