The A. 0. F. Corp, has received the following report form their New York correspondents, E. A. Fierce & Co. The market speaks for itself, having been one of the dullest sessions since 1924.

Wheat: Nervous Partial relief of the drought in Canada and the North-West dampened local enthusiasm. There was some outside interest, but the action of the market was very disappointing.

Cotton; Consistent selling was absorbed by the Far East and by price-fixing operations and limited speculative demand.

Silver: Quiet, anticipating the Presidents message, which is expected to be delivered on Tuesday. The ticker news service states that a special message sanctions the mandatory establishment of silver as twenty-five per cent. of the Nation's metalic currency reserve.
