brilliant weather during the past week has
intensified the dulIness of the market. The
rapid progress of harvesting caused the mill
ers to expect immediate supplies of home
grain. Foreign grain is neglected, and is
generally Is per quarter lower. For cargoes
of the coast inquiries are limited at unchang-
ed prices. AZ the market to-day there was
scanty attendance; white wheat was Id lower
and trade unusually small; -four was languid
and lower to sell; the supply Of maize was
dearer.n

500 p. m.-Ihe market ruled easier again
to-day, with the exception of provisions,
which were again exceptionally strong. At
one time October wheat sold at 1890, but
closed shade hrmer in the latest trading at
S014c. The decline in wheat was about 5000
rod vtrif LOT Gfy 1fnrG do
and some quotations were the lowest known
during the present year, regular No. spring
being quoted at 1870 and No. 3 at 64c. These
prices are in some respects the lowest ever
known in the trade in this city. The receipts
show slight falling off. The weakness late
in the day was attributed to a report from
Milwaukee placing the estimate for the pres
ent crop larger than heretofore estimated.
The report was not official, but had its effect.
The latest quotations were 1890 for August,
1Sz2c for September, SG4c for October and
Sl5Sc for November. Corn was fairly active.
Prices ruled somewhat easier during the
greater part of the day, but closed stronger,
prices advancing 14(g34c rather sharply dur
ing the afternoon session. The receips showed
some falling off, which served to maintain
prices. The closing figures Were-August
5l5sc, September 501sc, October Acc, and No
vember 4i1sc. Oats were moderately steady,
taking the eutre day, closing at 2514c for Au-
gust 2434c for September and 251ac for Oc-
tOber. Pork was stronger and higher. closing
at S26 so for August $22 so for September, and
closing at 90c for September and 8 02hc for
October.
