The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1876-02-03

bears out the correctness of the first and largest
estimates. BeerbolIln's figures the require
ments from fresh exports at As, oCO QUO bushels
which agrees with our figures. considering the
increase Of consumption. Of this amount
North American Atlantic ports will he called
OH to supply 30, 100000 bushels. OR weekly
export Of 1000 900 bushels. We can under
no circumstances supply that amount, and at
present prices less than half.
The bears having already sold the entire crop,
and being unable to break prices are now try
ing to shake the confidence Of holders by Gre
ating apprehensiOns as to the condition OF
| our wheat. We have alluded to this matter
before and denounced these INSCRIPTIONS
tactics on the part of the shorts We have
lately given the subject thorough investigation,
and we know thereof we speak, and are willing
| to stake our reputation on the statement " hich
| we now make, to wit: that he No. and No. 2
wheat now in store is fully up to the average
sample of No. 2wheat. drawn from every ele-
vator in the city, and from two bins in each
elevator, and then mixed, and we pronounce
| ii one of the most beautiful samples of No. 2
| wheat that we have ever seen, and our chief
inspector has pronounced the sample nc exag-
geration Of the average. We therefore pro-
nOunce these rumors without any foundation
in fact, that with the usual care there is no
danger CT any hot No. and No. 2 wheat in our
market.
The imports into the IT, K. aggregated two
million bushels of wheat and flour last week,
and as consequence prices gave way, but in
| this is mainly taken from the amount in tran
| sit the situation has not been aggravated.
The weather throughout the Northwest was
mild and rainy during the early part Of the
week, but suddenly changed to sharp frost,
and the damage to the winter wheat must have
been great We learn that in the winter heat
states the wheat is growing. This We regard as
~. hat
befall it, and we look for serious
complaints ere long The roads in the
interior previous to the last rain were good :,
| and farm ers deliveries were quite liberal, but
most of is put in store. This, however, does
not prevent country BUYERS from shipping it
forward
Our market opened strong, but has gradually
| declined under untav orabie foreign advlces.
The bears are not So strong III their views as
they Were, and with very few exceptions they
are disposed 70 take the bull side at slightly
lower prices New Yo,k was very weak to-
day, but closed firmer
