WEEKLY REVIEW.
OFFICE DAILY DEMOCRAT AND Nxws,

J
The week ending to day has been one Of rathe
moderate weather. The roads leading out to tn,
country were in good condition. enabling the far
I mefs to market their grain
Business during the week was quite good il
nearly all branches Of trade. The retail country
trade was heavier than usual. The receipts oi
grain by wagon were much heavier than the pre-
vious week, and the market generally more active
and excited.
The Wheat market towards the close yesterday
excited, and advanced Zd3c over former quo
tations. The advance was sustained to day by
the shippers and although the millers for awhile
held off with expectations Of buying at a lower
figure, the prices were sustained. Yesterday the
shippers bought the larger portion of the receipts,
but to-day the II ers bid up and took the bulk
Of the grain at 73dS0c. 1t is probable that this
advance will be but temporary, as there is no ap-
parent reason why it should be sustained any
time. In Chicago, Wheat declined 4c yesterday.
Germ has been coming in freely this week, and
is eagerly bought up by spectators for storing un
ul spring. There is now in store here in five store
houses over two thousand bushels OF corn. The
market continues steady and firm, with good dc
mand for ear corn.
