The car shortdge has somewhat affected the local receipts of wheat, and while to- day's run was rather heavy, the samples were disposed of long before the close of the cash market. The highest price on wheat for the day was $1.75, This high price was paid for durum wheat, which on account of the active milling demand selling at a wide premium over the ordinary | hard winter variety. The corn market also reached another high mark, and yellow corn, for which a premium was paid, brought 96@96c for the commerelal grades. There was very little corn on the tables and the few samples were quickly taken up at previously un- heard of prices. The oats market was also very strong und sold from 2c to'2%c higher. The re- celpts of this cereal were very good and the bulk of the recelpts, which graded' No. 2 white, sold around 4814 @48%c, and o few cholee cars sold at 49c. Standard oats brought 48c, the'top of the market, and the general Tun of No. 4 white sold at from 41%c to 46%c, while the off grade brought e In rye was not very good and was 2@3c higher, while it ruled from 1c to 2c abbve Satvrday’s quotations.
