WHEAT For two weeks the market has Deen al
most stagnant, and yet within this period the ex-
ports have probably been larger than for any similar
time in the history of the port Shippers have oeen
drawing largely on thsr reserves, and IN tue event
Of any future active movement they will necessarily
have 10 renew supplies. Tnis morning there were
come evidences OF disposition to buy on the part
OF the several leading operators and more transae-
tions were reported than any single day within
weeks. Trade woul1 certainly be much more brisk
If any encouragement afforded by the situation
at foreign countries. Daily adyices from LiYerpoo
have been ,oomy for a week, aud to-day's news L
not OF a very cheering character. T1e CLOUDY OUT
look has deferred spectators from charterlng sniFs
at asking rates and 1t Is not ilkely tal uIh oesi
ness in this line will be consunmated unless tnere oe
an appreciation in the price OF grain al foreign ports
distribution, or else marked decline IN local
uing freight rates. The latter is anything but
improbable, and at no distant day. too. This morn
Ing half dozen large vessels came to hand, and II
these arrivals prove TO be the forerunner5 OF to
eraby fair fleet, we may reasonably expect con-
slderaby brisk season almost Immediately. On
Change to-day the offerings we're more liberal than
ia several days. Holders OF large lots not at all
anxious to SELL but small owners show less desire
carry stock, and it possible that many moderate
sized parcels could be advantageousiy picked up

BARI.EY-Busihess is considerabYlighter than 1t
was week or two ago. The market, however, has
strong Tone especially for feed descriptions Well
informed parties claim that the stock IN the State is
materially reduced, and some sanguine individuals
believe better times for holders Of feed will be seen
before long Brewing does not obegging. All lots Of
desirable quality are placed without difficulty within
our range. Bay Chevaer meets With but little pub
lie inquiry, and assured that nothing OF con-
sequence is transporting in a private way. A ship
meat of 10000 ctls goes forward to England this
