The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-11-18
Extracts from the Mark Lane Express OF
Oct. rs, 1875

Another week of storms and floods, with .
great extent Of damage, has further put back
the period for the autumnal sowings, and 1t
seems very probable that we shall be driven To-
the necessity of freely using the qualities OF
spring growth from the present unftness Of
the land. A poor beginning may indeed have
a better result than anticipated, but with the
general uncertainty OF spring time in this
country there is not much dependence to be
placed on late efforts. Nothing could have
been much worse for the condition of samples,
and the abundance Of foreign old wheat seems
our chief scarcity for wholesome bread. The
more we know Of this " ar's crop the less sat
isfaction does it give, and therefore we wonder
not that with all the resistance Of millers agen-
eral advance Of Is during the past week has
been common. Imports are indeed now likely
to al,ate unless we make better prices, and the
app zach of winter will reduce these in north
ern ports; the only place Whence supplies can
s,s, as yet prefer awaiting events. Should,
however. monetary pressure tell there, now
THAT money Is advancing, we may get more
than expacted especially Is the Principalities
this season al pear to be unoommonly well OF
in the articles OF wheat ahd maize. London as
vet gets but small proportion OF home growth
the condition and quality OF which want help
were 1864 qrs wheat, against 81, 1888 qrs in
1874. and both dealers and factors complain
Of the lightness Of supplies in the country.
France about maintains former rates, Belgium
and Holland rather exceeding them. The
German markets have been very steady, and
Danxic quotes higher prices for the best sam
pies. st. Petersburg, Vienna and Hungary
show little change. n New York slight fuc-
tuations occur Oh receipt of our cable advices,
but we have already seem that their yield is 81
per cent below an average, and therefore q
very important rise here would be followed by
an immediate and strong advance; and a.
stocks Of old have now become limited in every
country, the probability is that as We dip into
the season we shall get dearer:
