the distribution of the surplus among the
connumiuir countries ofctlioold worldi On
tlio floor to-day it was estimated that the
visible supply would on Monday
show an Increase of 2,000,000 or
U.fiJO.OOO bushels , it may bo reduced
by Iho nmouut going into private store
houses , that being nn unknown quantity in
Iho visible calculations. Export clearances
from the four principal Atlantic ports for
the week foot up 250,003 bushela of wheat
and 22,000bairols ot flour , onuat in all to
about 1,150,000 , bushels. Uradslrcots makes
the total exports from botli coasts 'JHI7,000
bushels , against 1,800,000 utuhols n icur ago.
The receipts fn the northwest nro not up to

Foreign markets have u better

thu v/eolc were 80,800 quarters
ot an average price of 80s 4d , against 8i,500 :
quarters at an uvcrngo of 2ia ) lOd the preced

orul peoDlo on the lloor that Mr. Liw. the
eminent English statistician , had reduced his
estimate of the crop of Grout Britain
from 78,0i)0,000 ) to 70,000,000 , bushels.
His llrst estimate was 81,000,000 ,
bushels. A cablegram from Liverpool ( [ noted
English country murKcts ns firm , witu the
quality of the crop good , but the yield belOw
on nver.igo. Another cable noted n tailing
off In Hussinn and Indian supplios. On the
whole , the f01 eign situation may bo quoted
as encouraging. Ono of the baarlsh pieces
of news might bo found in rain throughout
the winter wheat country , but this did not
seem to have nuy special olTcct , probably for
the reason that the fears of damage from
drouth had never been very deeply rcoted iu
the popular mind. Local specu
lative sentiment seems to bo develop
ing In favor of higher prices- though ,
as before stated , several loading opeiators
insist upon pounding the market whenever
circumstances justify. December opened at

The corn market opened strong on wet
weather and small iccolpU. Tlio shorts In
near deliveries were free buyers at t lie sturt ,
and the strong feeliflg apparent , yesterday
was continued with added strength. There
was vei.v Jteo selling of May , however ,
which weakened tlio general list , The de
mand for cash corn was active and nt gennr-
ally higher prices than prevailed .v csterdny ,
but in sympatuy with the vveokor feeling at
the end for futures shippers dropped their
bids proportionately. The receipts were
within six car loads of yesterday's
estimate and shipments were fair ,
but smaller tnan on the day be
fore. Exports were also lighter , but the
demand from abroad was good and ma move-
incut from the seaboard would be heavier , as
it uould bo from hero also if vessels were
plentiful. October delivery started ut 'JlVtft

This inovo has long boon expected , owing
to the fact that "petitions on the subject have
been repeatedly forwarded to the board 'by
the dealers , some of thorn dating back over
a year ago. The Untile representatives of
