The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-12-02
Extracts from the Mark Lane Express OF
Nov. S,I875

The temperature of the weather during the |
past week has shown great fluctuations. After
sharp east wind and plentiful indications OF
winter, almost summer mlldneSs has succeed
ed; but some abatement of rain has beer eX
tr-Inely WELDON e, and in favorably situated
soils the autumnal sowiugs have been resumed;
but a great extent OF country is yet too soddeil
for the work. In France, however, it has
been prosecuted more freely. and they have
nearly completed their abors. The continued
heavy foreign arrivals have checked the up
ward tendency OF prices, and Russian Sorts
from their performance, have rather given
way; but home growth of good quality has
about maintained its value, as have other sorts
of fine foreign. No doubt an anxiety to make
free shipments before winter had SOM thing to
do with the arrival OF 6O 900 qrs. from Russia
last week; but if accounts are true respecting
that country, the years produce is very defect
| i've, both in corn and forage; and this may JUS
lty the tenacity of holders at Odessa, who so
confidently look for better prices. TO find,
however, two such countries as Russia and
| America, which hitherto have been our chief
dependence, wanting in their usual abundance,
must eventually tell; and though our yranar-
les now hold the usual supply of nearly half-a-
million quarters OF wheat, London itself con-
| tains about four million inhabitants, with an
enormous country demand to make short work
of any surplus. The Paris flour trade during
the week has been dull; but wheat there, as
we'll as in the provinces, has undergone little
change In Belgium and Holland business
has been quiet, with prices much as previously
quoted. But little has been doing at Ham
burg, with rates relatively higher; in Prussia
they have already had some snow, hut it was
soon cleared; Danzic fully maintains the value
of fine samples, which continue scarce, and in
Austria and Hungary prices have rather given
way, with dull trade. New York, again in
llusnced by our cable advices, has slightly de-
clned, with good stocks on hand, and large
shipments YET on the way. We cannot now
look for much of a revival before Christmas
but the lack of keeping quality in our potatoes
this season will require large amount of grain
to hl up the gap.
