GRAIN AND RREA psruFrs.

The receipts of grain to-day were only
moderate, and II anything below the usual
arrivals. There is very little wheat coming
In, and the amount OF oats offered on the
streets Is below the demands OF retailers.
There is good demand for corn, but the
supply is short of the requirements. 1t APP
pears that there is only small amount OF
grain left in the country which will be
offered for sale. The following are corrected
reports OF the market In this city:

Parties from Iowa and Illinois are buying
seed corn at West Point by the carload ior
fifty to sxty-tive cents per bushel.
The Western correspondent OF the New
York Journal of Commerce says: "You
may look for the largest acreage of oats to
be put in this season that has been sown
for many years. This arises from two facts
Ian ma ut To-, a
Iowa, and the other tho use of the self.grain
binder relieving the farmer of all difficulty
In procuring labor at harvest. In fact the
grower ofall small grain now is In an in
dependent position 30 far as the securing OF
the harvest Is concerned. There is very
little corn ground plowed or any planted
yet north of the Ohio aud east OF the Mis-.
souri, river. With the late backward
spring corn blowing will also DO late.
Farmers from Illinois and Iowa are still
depending very largely for their seed corn
on Nebraska, and II sells very readily at
from 81 to $3.50 per bushel."
Many Of the remarks made in reference
to the situation OF the wheat market will
apply with force to corn. Apparently there
has been but little manipulation of prices
though the fluctuations have been SHARP
aud frequent. The large supplies OF corr
IN the elevators at Chicago and st. Louis
are an obstacle 10 any improvement In
prices. The receipts ut Chicago up IL
within q few days have been larger than wa.
anticipated, and It is feared that many o.
the contracts made for the sale OF May corr
will bring forward considerable quantitie,
OF cribbed corn early In the coming month
The volume ofspeculat!, business has beer
