Movement of Grain.

The movement of grain TO market has
attracted attention by the magnitude of
the operations. Last week deliveries at
primary interior receiving points reached
the large total OF 90 100000 bushels. far
exceeding any previously recorded week
ly total for this period OF the year, This
movement indicates that the west counts
on an abundant crop. That exporters
are the buyers denotes firm foreign de-

financing Of the new crop.
Stocks continue to advance in spite OF
the opposition of professional leaders and
