As to the future of the wheat market says the
St Louis Republican, the tide of prices seems near
the inevitable turn, and there are indications OF an
attempt to ''bull the market Eastern writers are
discovering that the crop in the West is more dam
aged than Western men have heretofore thought 1t
was and coupling this with discOuraging accounts
of the English harvests, are respondent as to the
winters supply of breadstufts at Atlantic seaports
The New York Commercial A dUertiSer says:
There are continued indications OF light crop of
spring wheat. few farmers, whose letters we
find in our agricultural exchanges, report yield
of from twenty to twenty-five bushels to the acre:
but large majority range from fifteen down to
FIVE and in some sections portion of the crop was
not harvested. Heavy losses from storms, bad
weather rust blight and other causes are reported.
In all the principal markets the receipts and stock
of spring wheat is unusually light, nor is the stock
of winter very large The stock Of wheat III this
market is almost all winter wheat, and the amount
on hand has considerably diminished during the
past two weeks, The farmers are not selling freely
at the present rates, and it is probable that the
principal markets will have light stock of wheat
and -four to begin the winter with. California has
sold more freely than any other State but recent
a1vices report that the receipts of wheat at San
Francisco show a considerable falling of as com
pared with September. II is said many farmers
have made arrangements to hold their wheat
through the winter, and various difficulties have
prevented others from sending their wheat forward.
As to the amount still on hand, it is thought to be
as large as last year. though of inferior quality but
to draw it out, better prices must be paid.
The news from the English wheat market is little
more than confirmation of previous reports. The
Weld of wheat threshing is generally unsatis-
factory and farmers it is sad disposed to hold
on to wheat with the light yield they are dissats-
fed with the present rates, and look for higher
range of prices But with moderate sales by Eng
lish farmers, it is said, prices are Kept down by
heavy receipts of foreign wheat and flour, large
importation of which comes from America. With
our present light stocks and moderate sales, there
must soon be falling off in the receipts from this
country The present high prices of freight, and
the difficulty in obtaining transportation, will also
tend to cut short supplies and thus lessen exports.
With reference to the corn crop, 1t is now def
nitely ascertaned to be failure 70 the extent of
one-half the usual yield. letter from Washington
published in the Prairie Farmer, estimates the
crop at 9O6, 527 900 bushels
Commenting upon the Advertiser, the st.
Louis Republican says: "While do not
tirely agree with the Advertiser in its deductions
believing that its informants have to considerable
ararV Trh1n
and even to the corn crop-we readily assent
to the view that, with present high prices OF
transportation the market price of wheat upon the
seaboard must materially advance to induce farm
ers to send forward their grain and look for some
slight improvements in the home markets as
natural consequence.
