THE MARKETS.
WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.

WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.
We are indebted to Messrs. Powers,
Lynde & Co.. Of Kansas City, for the follow
ng reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat-The past week has been one of
unchanged values, and quiet feeling in for
cign markets. Our home markets have
shown some fluctuations, but are ruling
without any material change from quota
tions of last Tuesday, the steadiness being
chiefly due to unfavorahle weather and
light receipts. On November 10Th the
amount Of wheat on New York canals was
2,39S 900 bus, while on November 10th. the
amount in transit from western ports by
rail, lakes and canal, was 4,SS4,OOO bus.
wheat.
Export cearances for the week were
1,6l2 900 bus, leaving a visible supply
Nov. 10th 9,Sl5.7G5 bus, n gain OF 100000
bus. over previous week.
This aggregate total is less by 1900 900
bus. than that Of same time last year. Brit
ish imports continue very large, the supply
of wheat for tho week ending Nov. 10 eX-
ceeding consumption nearly 2OOO,UO bus,
while amount in transit Nov. 18th for Unit
ed Kingdom is estimated at ll,3l2 600 bus.
Supplies from the Baltic have about ceas-
ed. Egypt is rapidly falling off; Chill and
Australia are responding fecbly to English
demands, and America alone is maintain
ing liberal shipments.
Late and conclusive estimates Of the
French wheat crop Of 1877 show dcicien-
cy under average crop OF 8,4OO,00O bus.
The shortage coming at time when the
reserve stocks have been usually reduced
will nccessitate French buyers looking to
other markets to make good their actual
home requirements.
English farmers are confident holders for
higher prices, their deliveries being lighter
at present than at any similar period dur
ing the past five years.
Our own receipts and deliveries at west
ern lake and river ports have fallen away
during the past week, and at no time for
many years have our leading western mar
kets shown such light stocks on hand.
Corn-Light receipts and continued I'M
favorable weather for maturing new crop
have strengthened values Of cash and fu-
lures. and sales for November show an ad
vance of / to 2c. bushel over prices n

100000 bushels over previous week, while
the movement to and from western lake
and river ports for the same time has been
lighter by 5OO,OO bushels reducing the
