THE COMMERCIAL WORLD.

seller of wheat here and in New York to-day. Wall
street has likewise some for sale. The offerings
were not bulky. but they were continuous, and as
the constant dropping of water will wear away
stone so the steady selling of wheat resulted in
decline in values of the grain. The trade was de-
void OF interest. Pard ridge was a fairly good
buyer, through his own house and by brokers.
Some of the bull professionals also bought, but
when the demand became slack the direction
turned downward.
Opening Liverpool cables steady at decline
of 14d. The closing were weak. Receipts
were moderate, as they usually are on Wednes-
day, but the Northwestern arrivals in ex-
both of last Wednesday and of the correspond
ing day last year. Chicago received l73 cars and
the Northwest had S33. Withdrawals from store
were 90, 746 bushels. Export clearances were fair

vance. Receipts were 1877 cars and 63,S6S bush
els were taken from store. Liverpool cables quoted
a steady feeling at a decline OF 14d. Export
clearances were 500, S46 bushels. Trading became
lfeless later and prices, (which had steadied lre,
held unchanged through the rest of the session.
