The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-09-20

State is now estimated at 10 per cent. which
is a trite more than our estimate OF last week.
Iowa has been less fortunate Continued
rains have aggravated the damage during the
week. and considerable wheat that was No. l
is now totally unfit for warehousing. But little
stacking has been done lately, and the pros
poets for any considerable receipts from North
ern and Central Iowa are in the distance.
Wisconsin and Southern Iowa are shipping
quite freely, but the total receipts are very
small, and the stock here is low. We have
| We could not have filed them had they been
here, and the market has been characterized by
extreme d~ullness, with the tendency down.
Liverpool quotations are l shilling lower on
No. 2, and sd lower on No. 2 spring wheat
than a week ago. This is an extraordinary de-
cline, but the Election our markets has been
very trifing. No one seriously believes that
this decline is a tair index to the legitimate
| outlook, but is simply caused by local infu-
ences. The amount afloat for Great Britain was
II ,O0O, 900 bushels two weeks ago, and in two
weeks about 100000 bushels have been
thrown on the English market. This, to-
gether with the home deliveries, created a
trying to see how cheap he could buy it.
Englishs spectators are also VIGOROUSLY con-
s~ervative in regard to investments at the COM
mencement Of a new crop, and this, together
with the unusual supply at this season, will
explain the rapid decline. Liverpool quota
tons are now within Sd Of the lowest figure
reached last year, and unless all reports are ut
terry false the supply Of breadstufs throughout
the world does not warrant this. At the close
in Liverpool a frmer feeling prevailed, and
the decline in our market was fully recovered.
Nebraska, which was supposed to have har-
vested her crop in good condition, now sends
reports of damage to the grain in stacks.
