The attendance Oh the Exchange to-day was
not as large rs usual, and the transactions were
not heavy. Tho offerings Of oats were about
equal To those Of the past week, but holders
were lrm In their prices aud buyers wero wary
IN their purchases. As yet there Is very little
new corn offered on tho market, but II dry
weather follows, In Il very few days tho receipt,
will equal all demands. Barley and rye arc firm
and good enquiry Is expected soon FOR seeding
purposes, there arc liberal arrivals Of mille
seed, but quotations arc low AZ il win have L
be held by dealers until seeding time arrives
next spring, when 1t Is expected prices will
range far above present figures.
