Corn receded a little farther, influenced unfavorably by the insignificant shipments from Atlantic ports, only 501.555 bushels for the week, compared with 2.799.887 last year and 4.747.258 in 1899. Wheat lost a little of the early gain, although declining prices a yaur ago make the difference smaller than it-has been at any time this crop year. Foreign buying of flour is still unsatisfactory, but the outgo of wheat is heavy; for the week United States exports, flour included. amounting to 4.391.761 bushels, compared with 3.646.761 last year, and

4.255.766 two years ago.

' Failures for the week numbered 229 in the United States, against 209 last year and 31 in Canada, against 26 last

year.”
