were slow aud unsatisfactory. The prices tor grain
were declining. and yet the demand for wheat for
export. shows no indication of an immediate re-
viyal. The stocks are accumulatlng all over the
consuming portions of the world, and it begins TO
be realized that the surplus carried over from the
last crop must postpone the marketing OF TINS
years short product. A fair export movement OF
corn was noticed but what would be called
a large movement of that grain would bear only
q small proportion TO the cOuutry's total exports
Provisions also were sent away IN fairly
liberal quantities. but the relative prices OF
the American and foreign markets suggest the pos
sibllity that the movement is largely for the puT-
pose OF relieving the speculation at home OF an
oppressive burden. The London Miller OF October l

At home the movements OF last week added to the
visible supplies of wheat, and slightly reduced the
supplies Of corn. The receipts and shipments OF
wheat corn and oats at the PRINCIPAL Western points
of accumulation for four weeks compare as lollows
