The crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1877-1878, 1877-11-08
THE MARKETS..

NLEhll
We are indebted to Mcssrs. Powers,
Lynde Il Co., Of Kansas City, for the follow
ing reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat Tho past week has been one of
dullness and unchanged values in Eastern
markets. and English markets have de-
clincd one shilling % quarter. At the sea-
board there is but little demand for ship
ment, buyers holding of. The movement
from interior markets to ocean points for
the week ending October %. shows an i'm
provcmcnt over previous week OF 5OOOOO
bushels, while export clcaranccs for the
same time were 2,3OS,G53 bushels,
against Q, ,OOS, 1888 bushels the week prcccd-
ing, L.
Amount of wheat in transit October 20 be-
ing over 70O0, 600 bushels, and visible sup
ply II 1,322, ,lG4 bushels.
The relative chcnpncss flour over wheat
has increased the export movement OF that
article over 80 per cent. for the week, for
cign buyers concluding to take the manu-
featured brcadstuiT in prcfcrcnccto the grain
at ruling figures.
The supplies that are being rapidly
pushed forward from Russia and Egypt,
stimulated by the war. and approaching
winter, which will soon seal the Baltic
ports. have met the demands, for the time,
of English buyers. Together with contri-
buttons from these countries, liberal ship
mcnts are pouring in from British India,
Austria, Hungary, Australia, Chilli and
| America, increasing the English stocks
| from one half TO one million bushels awcck.
| With no change in the political outlook
in Europe, threatened by the RussO-Turk-
ish war, and the continued accumulation oi
these immense supplies in English grana-
rics, it is natural their markets should cX-
/ Ia t,,t
| for q season.
COrn--With the present month drawing
to II close, and the near approach of close
to lake navigation, prices of spot corn
have advanced from to 2c.
| This appreciation, in consequence OF
| light receipts, will no doubt be fairly sus-
tained for the first week in November, but
without stronger inquiries than ut present
arise. we do not look for u continuance OF
ruling values in Western markets.
Tho movement during the week has
been one of fair activity, the aggregate ol
receipts ut Western points and deliveries al
scaboard showing but little change from
previous weeks figures.
Oats--No change in values has occurred
in this cereal meanwhile, though we note I;
fair amount is being taken for foreign
shipment.
Ryc--Thc general dulncss and decline in
value in this grain have retarded delivcriso
and we notice IL lighter movement market
without any salient features in transaction
From Chicago to Buffalo the rate ON corr
by Lake is Be and3%c on wheat; all raj
from Chicago to Now York on grain Zoe.
