balanced smaller domestic receipts and the
closing frmness Of the Liverpool market. IL
was rumored that fifty loads OF wheat had
been taken at New York for Europe. Broom

not secured the good wheat crop expected

Light receipts and continued complaints of
the poor condition resulting for the damp
weather strengthened corn. Strong Liverpool
cables were also a consideration, and the for
eign demand for corn, as reported for the sea-
board was urgent. Large interests forced
the buying side and prices showed a good ad-
vance the greater part OF the day. The weak
closing to the wheat market, however, caused
a weakness to corn, and the advance was
nearly all lost. Receipts were 294 cars. De-
