feet OF overabundance OF present commercial sup
plies a decrease OF II. 152. 900 bushels on ocean
passage, which was made before the opening. was
more than offset by the closer to home effect of
the receipts of 1895 carloads at Minneapolis and
Duluth. and the general heavier increase Of stocks
as well as the Increase of the visible supply were
being received. The last two items OF the visible
supply statement change the result which was in
dieated by those previously received. Without
the report of the quantity on the lakes and canals
an increase shown OF 100000 bushels at
other places, but the quantity on the lakes In
creased only $4,000 bushels and the canals

the net result of the visible 975, 900 bushels com
pared with 1882, 900 bushels on this correspond
ing week OF the year before.

stant1al Acknowledgment in case of the more cor
rect forecast of the bullish minority. May, which
opened from 3O$s to 5lc and sold as low as 506sc,

independent hrmness in the oats market was ex-
tTaordinary. he visible supply showed a de-
crease in oats of 476OOO bus hels and thai seemed
