Corn and Wheat.
Corn to Rise in Price and Wheat To
Decline.
From the Ne,o York 81.

From, the Ne,c York Sun.
The feverish activity in the grain and pro-
duce markets continues undated. The SIN
predicted some weeks ago that corn would GO
up and wheat would go down, and so they
| have done. Corn is now selling on an aver
age Is cents higher than it did three weeks
| ago, while wheat sells about FIVE cents lower,
| and would probably sell lower still had it not
been for the sympathetic influence existing
| between the different articles of the grain and
provision markets. The main point, however,
remains the same; there is too much wheat
everywhere and not enough corn for the pri-
mary requirements of home and foreign con-
sumption. Besides, most of what there is of it
is of poor quality. The continued warm and
rainy weather out West affects corn in the
crib and renders it unfit for grading some say
even for hogs feed. At all events, hogs are
poorer this year, and will certainly not i'm
prove as long as they are fed on soft, ferment-
ing corn, the farmer being anxious to get his
so or 60 cents bushel for such good hard
corn as he is lucky enough to have on hand.
The scarcity of corn and the steady advance
in its price must thus necessarily affect the
produce market and also the market for oats.
Horses cannot be fed on soft corn, and will
be fed on oats all the more readily as the diff
ference in the price of the two cereals is
greatly in favor Of the latter. Usually oats
sell from u to Is cents bushel lower than
corn. To-day that difference amounts to over
25 cents, although oats have already had ii
rise Of about 5 cents. 1t is, therefore, snr-
missed that there ought to be Il profit of or
10 cents in buying oats.
E. W. Bangs John I. Lest,r'g right-hand
man and an excellent Judge of the market,
telegraphed to L. G. Quinlin & Co. on Satur-
day night from Chicago: ''TIe best posted
men anticipate lower prices for wheat. We
have now 20, 600, 600 bushels III warehouses in
Northwestern cities, and 10, 500 900 here and
receipts increase steadily. The outlook is
certainly not suggestive of higher prices. and
| am waiting for some one to show me how
we are going to get rid Of this immense stock. /
am great bull on corn, but consider its
advance sufficient for the present, and haze
advised my friends to take their profits and /
wait for break to get in again. Oats were
very active. advancing in two days about 2! /
cents for May options. Traders begin to ap-
preciate the fact that corn cannot keep adj
vaneing without putting life into the oats
