The weekly north Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1857-1867, 1860-08-08

TINES OFFICE, Wednesday. Aug. &, 1860
For the week past, all the leading grain markets.
have been excessively dull bnt there is decided inn
provement in the Lake markets the gurcs of two
weeks ngo. At Milwaukee, last Saturday, the mar
kcts closed with an improvement Of 3ca5c over tho
market Of week before. There was = good export
and milling demand at 73c for No. Spring to 81 for
Club. New Wheat was arriving quite freely and tho
prospects Of continued good prices we're quite Dat.
| tering.
At Chicago, Wheat ranged higher, g to Sic per
bushel with prospect Of proved prices The failure
OF the crop in sone portions Of the u States and in
Europe seem to have confirmed the opiuion that
Wheat aud other smaller grain will continue to rule
high through the season. But the crop in tho Wheat
growing regions Of America, which now known to bs
beyond danger Is immensc, and probably very much
larger than Is generally fupposed and when it fully
realized what vast surplus held by farmers tho
tendency mny be downward and in fact We shall not
be surprised the ruling prices Of September and De-
tober are better than in the months following there.
'ore we could could not conscientouy advise farmers
to hold on to their grain but would rather ssv that
II the market opens at fair rates. We have no doubt
WILL it would DO the better policy to dispose Of your
grain early.
NEW "HEAr-We learn that in the Cedar Valley,
IN this state the farmers generally ready to thres
and probably new Wheat from the splendid farming
region OF that country will soon be In market
AS Tar rs advantages Of good market and facilities
'of shipping are concerned probably the farmers OF
North low" and Southern Minnesota can 6nd no bet
ter market for their wheat than McGrsgor.
Prices uniformly range higher here than at any
o"er point on the river, and vii be seen by ano-
ther article In todays paper our facilities for ship
ment are fully equal to the demand ana ten fold bet
ter this season than ever before
Gen. LAWYER sends the following siten,' which IA or
interest at this particular time as showing one of the,
reasons why grain seeks an outlet RIA McGregor We
nave the choice Of all the markets are the Western
terminus Of the n. T. NJ. n. r., and Milwaukee II
acknowledged to be the best WHEAT market in the
world The following is the '.item" referred to
e'x hundred bushels OF new wheat, the nrst ship
ment OF the season, from Dubuque va. delivered At
frae da Chen on Saturday, steamer Milwaukee,
destined for Milwaukee VIA the NJ. 4 NJ R. r. This
wheat was grown IN Delaware Co., Iowa, forty miles
west OF Dubuque, and WAS shipped from Earlvile, on
the Dubuque L Pacific r.. r., by Geo. W. E.rll ESQ.
to Williams 4 Jackman Of Dubuque, and thence to-
Milwaukee a. above" This seems 20 show that su
per'or Inducements are offered at Milwaukee. Won
der those oroaksrs At Dubuque ever considered that
was the easiest thing in the world TO buy wheat At
Acregor, pay good fair price for Il and ship IL d.
rectly to Milwaukee, and still have . larger margin
tnsn those who buy at Dubuque and have an extra
river freight tariff Of seventy miles to pay.
