The old bear Ly, led by Ream, Jounes and Linn, are generally understood to be strongly bearish in sentiment, and the active buying by Ream excited no little comm Opivion as to tho sienificance of the move was at variance. Onthe one hand 1t was contended that no big bears were covering and in order that they were bulling the market to sell on. The view fiest indicuated socmed to be the most generally believed, judging from the course of prices. Althougi fluctuations were re- stricted to narrow limits, a good volume of business was trausacted. Nows from the northwest was a disappointment to the bulls.

The crowd got v wanted in about fifteen minutes, during which prices were navanced a trifle, after which trading slackened off and dull* ness ruled for the remainder of the day. Receipts of contract corn were again swull, Laverpool was wealk and lower for Americs corn, —but scaboard markets of this country maintained o fiem front, with @ fair degree of firmness at other domestic centers of trade. TLe weather was warm and summerhike, which not calculated to improve grading, Export clear- ances wera heavy and withdrawals from store here liberal.

Closing prices were at au improvement of !5(@?’c on yesterday's resting figures, Decemuver leaving off at 815%¢, Januar; 3¢ and May at 33%c. ‘The estimated receipts for tomorrow are 300 cars. Tho advance in December was due to the pres nt scarcity of No. 2 and the good demanc fo- the article, Oats were cxceodinely narrow and devoid of special feature, ruling practically steady. Ihere wus moderate selling, attributed to Milwaukee operators, but the demand at the recent range was suflicient to prevent any decline. ‘The receipts were smail, with fair estimates for tomorrow, and withdrawals from store unimportant., May re- maived close to 223/ with an- uary at about count, while December wus easy at £0 to store sold sparingly at > White oats for May were ne Provision traders found their m paratively interesting in a speculative way.
