600 p. m.-Wheat was very top heavy to-
dav, and prices fell off very sharply; cash
wheat has dropped to 791Sc, the lowest price
in number of months; the decline is ascribed
to the unfavOrable tenor of foreign advices,
the reports of fine weather in England and on
the Continent, and to the continued heavy
receipts at nearly all the winter wheat mar
kets; the latest quotations of the daY were
1880 for August, S05sc for September, size
for October and S21Sc for November. A good
business was transacted In corn and the feel
ing was unsettled, although prices were
steadily maintained; as compared with wheat
