ON 'CHANGE.
There was lively asking for corn on the ex-
change today, but those holding were far above
the views of the buyers The prices offered
and asked ranged from 3s to AZ cents. 1t IS now
believed that It will be late in the season before
corn arrives freely. There was also an eager
enquiry for Nicaragua wheat in small lots, sew
eral parties having orders from surrounding
towns for seeding purposes Barley was Ssi mo-
plentiful. Both of these grains are being asked
for from abroad, but all enquire for choice
article for seed: , MI! ct seed @d,d. as Il
are confident that they will get better prices
soon when it is required for sowing. Orders
for corn, oats and hay are already coming IN
from eastern Texas and louisiana, ana the OUT
look now is that there will be a heavy demand
from those section soon. One gentleman on the
Exchange to-day expressed the opinion that
corn would remain at a good figure dnring me
whole of this season, giving as reason for this
belief that it would come in very slowly and
that the market would always find the supply
short of the demand. He further said that ne
had conversed With number OF farmers ano
they all agreed that while the crop was large,
nearly every farmer was preparing to hold his
corn until another crop was grown, or uutil the
grain would bring full prices.
THE prices for grain on the Exchange to-day
were as follows Wheat 90d95@s1.0l, as pei
quality. Oats, for spring, 2S@3S; fall for feed
3S@32; choice red rust proof, 45@50. New corn,

Bye Texas in sacks. $780, northern, Sl.0O
BILLET seed, little 60g65; German, 5000 In

somewhat improved. The following are the re-
change: September wheat, 9ll5; October wheat
corn, 6Iss; September oats, BIZ bid; october
oats, 3l16@3lh.
THE smoke from the nostrils of the. bulls on
the grain exchange in Chicago to-day com.
pleteIy enyeloped the bears and they retreated
TO their dens as sensible bruins should do:
Wheat for September opened at 81, and 1t did
not get again as low as that figure during the
fourths above the opening price, but hDally
closed at .0lss, a cent and three quarters ad-
vance upon the close OF yesterday. For dellv-
cries In october II sold on first call at 94S and
