pricea showing & marked decline since the
close OF Wednesday. Cash, o. course,
shows the greatest reduction, declining
about G{5 @ &c per bushel, which was owing
to a lack OF demand, aud the fact that on
Wednesday prices were held up by a
speculative demand 10 cover November
shorts. This demand disappeared to-day,
and prices in consequence declined. For
future delivery, December and the more
deferred futures, the decline was not as
large, December declining about 11llc,
January &c, and May about 33c. The re-
ceipts were quite large, and weather IA
