take advantage Of the improved con-
dftions noted above. Thus far the
rise has beer perfectly legitimate and
warranted by facts. There is no rea-
son to believe that it has yet run its
course. Reactions must be expected
upon ~unfavorablc developments. or in
case of unexpected realizations: but
the general trend of the market should
he upward for some time to come. or
until it has sufficiently discounted the
changes for the better which began to
appear in the first week of February.
The Oats Market.
The light receipts of pats with the
very steady demand there was for this
grain held the market above sic for
standard oats with Il light though a
steady hardening Of values up to 81
cents. Receipts We're small and ag-
gregated l2S cars compared to 1872
cars in the corresponding time one
year ago.. Shipments We're 202 cars.
The crop position that is now be-

the appreciation of values. In the east
oats still cross the border from Cam

sections with small arrivals at the Gen.

bad weather. and of speculation
buying thereon. with late seeding were
the leading features to the mainten-

In forward positions and a large trade
was done in London yesterday for
Plata in all forward positions.
The exports from Russia this week
are about $4,000 quarters larger. but
there seems to be very little change of
any marked increase in the exports
from h Baltic ports owing tn the
continued small arrivals. There is
some demand by Germany and this
country for White Lil,aus, but sellers
there are firm and hold at full rates.
The demand on the continent il not
very pIiSh. AZ antwerp homegrown
sorts are still offered freely. which
checks the demand for foreign. and in
the center of France native oats are
offered freely. AT Paris the demand
Is quiet and prices are rather easier.
The total shipments to Europe last
week were $4,000 quarters smaller
than the previous weeks. The guam
titles on passage to Europe have in
creased rather sharply his week, but
stocks of foreign are small and con-
sumers from now onward will be more
dependent on foreign sorts. The i'm
ports into the l.. X. last week were
10000 quarters. as compared with
10000 quarters the week previous.
