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 sowlnys, and 1t
seems very probable that we shall be driven to
the necessity of freely using the qualities Of
spring growth from the present untitness OF
the land. 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 y. ar's crop the less sat-
lsfaction does it give, and therefore we wonder
not that with all the resistance of millers gen
eral advance of Is during the past week has
been common. Imports are indeed now likely
to abate unless We make better prices, and the
app zach of winter will reduce these In north
ern ports; the only place whence supplies can
come very literally Icing Odessa, where hold
| els, as yet prefer awaiting events. Should,
| however, monetary pressure tell there, now
that money is advancing. we may get more
than expected especially as the Prerequisites

from foreign stores. The last weekly safes
were 53 1904 qrs wheat, against %, lSo qrs in

shcw little change. In New York slight fiuc-
tua,ions occur on receipt of our cable adviees,
bu. we have already seen that their yield is 81
| Der cent. below an average, and therefore a
very important rise here would b. followed by
an immediate and strong advance; and As
stocks Of old have now become limited in every
country, the probability is that as We dip into
the season we shall get dearer:
