Graiu.—Another break in prices of wheat has to 
be noted this week. The export demand has been 
slow and the deliveries at this market large. Prices 
have now reached tho lowest point in a number of 
years, and a very unsatisfactory feeling prevails. 
Corn has reacted from the decline made latterly, 
with small receipts, aod a renewal of speculative 
purchase*, added to a fair export demand. Oats 
have been more freely offered and ruled lower, clos¬ 
ing with some reaction. Barley Is active and higher.
