connections appeared to have asked regard
ing the prospects for the wheat crop OF
Russia and every one agreed IN saying that
reasons for the weakness which followed
were principally connected with the talk
concerning the unsettled financial condi-
tions, and perhaps to some extent by the
increasing receipts of spring wheat In the
northwest and the extreme heaviness of
corn. The number OF car loads received

considerable of a bearish factor. The
worlds shipment to European ports last

the total amount was about 1000 bushels

Bradstreet's report of the worlds visible
showed an increase in this country east
of the Rocky mountains of $4,000 bushels
and a decrease in another af1oat for Eu-

increase of 5G2. 900 bushels. Nothing, how
ever. was so potent in depressing wheat as

The market continued depressed during
the last hour on heavy liquidation and gem

hours of favorable weather for corn caused
the in1mensity of the prospective supplies
to overshadow everything else, the effect
of this being augmented by liberal local
receipts and the result was decided

ended June 80 last as compared with the
preceding year amounts in round numbers
corresponding increase in the total value
OF expectations Of domestic merchandise
and produce was s69 SOS, 900, a little less than

the total proportion of the value of impor-
tations free of duty is nearly one-half of
aggregate importations, the increased value
of the same was only Sc, 538 900, as compared
with an increase of Sal ,2O2. 900 in the value
of dutiable merchandise imported.
