in wheat to-day was not of particularly
important character, still there was
enough of 1t to make a decided impression
of an unfavorable kind on prices. The
spring wheat movement absorbed interest
at the present time. A tremendous yield
has been harvested, but complaints as to
the quality are numerous. The Orange
Judd Farmer estimates the crop of both
winter and spring at 450O0O,O00 bushels,
against 405,0000O0 bushels previous fig-
ures. The Prairie Farmer" (Thomas)
states that expectations are for 25,0O0,000
bushels more than estimated earlier. To-
days market began with some firmness,
but afterwards until the close, weakness
prevailed and prices suffered at the hands
of both longs" and shorts" The usual
weekly statistics due yesterday were an
nounced to-day and were about evenly d.
vided in favor of strength and weakness.
The shipments from exporting Countries
exclusive of America, were light, at 3,6l6,-
sage decreased 12SO,O0O bushels, and the
possible supply (American) increased $780,
600 bushels. The English visible supply
increased 701, 600 bushels. Exports clear
ances from the seaboard since the last
report were 1873 857 bushels, including wheat
and -four. December wheat opened from
61Ac to 631zc, sold between 639sc and 81Mc
closing at 6l%d61Ac-11sc under Satur-
day. Cash wheat was weak and 1c lower
Corn-With the sole exception Of a very
short period of steadiness during the first
half and which was Influenced entirety
by the firm tone of wheat existing at the
moment there was nothing but depres-
sion In corn The fine weather reassuring
reports from Missouri and other corn
growing states and the estimates by the
private crop reporting concerns all tend
ed to convince the trade that the bear
side was the logical one on which to work.
December corn opened at 30, sold between
3Ossc and 291zc, closing at the latter-1tsc
under Saturday. Cash corn was &c per
bushel lower.
Oats-No startling features were noted
in oats. The selling was principally Of the
May and other distant futures, while Ship
pers were observed to be buying Septeru-
Der. The purchases of the current op-
ton were said to be for shipment to the
seaboard upon delivery. The Orange
Judd Farmer" reported some improve
ment In the crop, while the
Prairie Farmer gave the condition as prac-
tically unchanged. The visible supply de-
creased SIG, 600 bushels. October oats clos
ed 1zQssc lower than Saturday. Cash oats |
were A05zc per busnel lower

ming Of the session was scattered. but IL
