OF traQe. IN farIn product trading was only
fair in Cereals owing TO drop in buyers bids
in sympathy with lower prices coming
through from New York. The decline at the
East may possibly be traced to the advised
influences as reported by a leading New York
paper of August 26th, which says; Bread
stuf1s opened dull and depressed by lower
cables, light export inquiry, continued good
receipts West and free Offering by the longs of
everything Of an export character, on the
cholera news from Europe, which added ma
terially to the general depression, that in
cluded the whole list" 1t would
seem that the cholera scare IS doing its
part in breaking the markets, or, at
least, it is being used by the bears
TO cause lower prices. Mail advices just to
hand report that the official statement Of In
dia's Wheat crop is over 5O,ooo,oOo bushels
less than ii was in 1891. The news received
to-day from New York points to an almost
certainty that the crop in the United States
will be less than 500.OO00 900 bushels, against
over Gil 100000 bushels in 1891. Barley
was lower to-day for feed, but for bright grades
OF choice the market was virtually unchanged,
although a weaker tone was reported. Corn
was weak at the decline. Oats were fairly
firm. The offerings are largely poor grades.
Ground feed was irregular. Hay un-
changed. Butter was higher for gilt-edged
and Cheese were steady. Dried fruit was
strong. Choice green fruit for canning was
strong and higher. Berries were firmer, as
We're Melons. Young poultry and poor Hens
were in overstock and slow of sale.
Silver in London and New York was lower
to-day.

WHEAT-Lower prices coming through to-
day from New York offered the bears rare OPP

There were several wash sales; but there were
lew legitimate sales, owing to operators APP
