New York. April T.-Speculation in wheat and corn continued active with prices firm and generally advancing. The foreign markets advanced sharply. Liver pool gaining ssd and Paris % cenumes. Tn Germany crop accounts continued un- favorable and while the condition of wheat in the wheat country is better than in Prussia alone, the average is far be- low normal and loss of at least @.OO0.OOO bushels is looked for while the condition of wheat in other countries is said to be good. attention is centered upon the un- favorable reports from abroad and opera tors are favoring the present higher movement in prices. The active demand for cash wheat and fear of damage re- ports from western fields leaves little bear hammering and professionals are still inclined to the buying side. With corn advancing steadily under manipula- ton by the bull clique in the west and liberal demand from Europe for actual wheat there has been more speculation in rain than for some time past with bene- ficial effect upon prices. Exports of wheat and flour according to Bradstreet' s amounted to .129 bushels against 3.6S3,- s7s bushels last year, and for the season I'll S15 475 bushels against 161, ,4S8. .5S0 bushels last year. Exports of corn were 1344.5SS bushels against 3,690664 bushels fsst year and for the season 154.543,544 bushels against 169, ,792, 900 bushels last year.
