Gra rs.—Wheat, tins kept its declining course, nml 
possible heavy supplies have uucuehed the few ani¬ 
mated sessions that have occurred on 5 'Mange. At one 
time the deliveries at points of collection were larger 
than elevator resources could accommodate. Advices 
front abroad are not encouraging. In fact, it would 
seem as if Great Britain has deserted us for other 
points of supply and It is certain that strong trade¬ 
checking rates have given for themomeutun inlet for 
other wheat producing countries. 
Corn, though relatively high for that grain, has. In 
comparlsou with wheat, been attractive for tic ship 
ping demand and a good export movement is report¬ 
ed. Unfortunately the No. 2 styles are not In liberal 
stock. Oats have hardened somewhat la price, as the 
wants of the market are naturally enlarging.
