heavier, though transactions have not been
large, and declines have been stubbornly re-
sisted. The average of prices has declined
during the past week about 1a2c. per share,
with more signs of weakness at London than
here
Wheat speculation had been set upon heay-
lily by the stoppage of exports from Atlantic
ports and the enormous movement from the
Pacific coast. tn the month of October 3, 1885,
$50 bushels of wheat were exported from Pa
cfc ports, and only 303, 300 from all the
principal Atlantic ports ; and during the last
five weeks atlantic shipments have been only
176, COO bushels, against 8, 382, 491 last year.
Yet speculative holders are stubborn, and the
price has declined only 14c for the week, with
sales here of II, 900, 900 bushels. Another de-
pressing feature has been the export of 4, 7o0,-
900 bushels of corn in five weeks against e.
mand for wheat With assurance of larger
supplies. corn is &c cheaper, with speculation
narrow, and sale of only 4,200, 600 bushels
for the week Oats are one cent cheaper.
