porting lack of shipping orders and
prices against them.
In corn good speculative business was
transacted and the feeling was firm, with
prices ruling higher all round. Foreign
advices quoted corn steady, and the re-
ceipts here were fair. The offerings

not manifesting any disposition
to sell freely. The market opened about
