WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.

We are indebted to Messrs. Lynde,
Wright & Co., of Kansas City, for the following
reliable review of the grain trade.
WREAT-yalues in our home markets show
decline from the past week of lie bushel on
spring and &c on winter wheat. The causes
are falling Oft in exports with lighter for
eign demand, and increasing stocks in sight.
Farmers deliveries in England are very liberal;
supplies are arriving at French ports sufficient
to meet all ordinary requirements, and both
French and English country markets are a
shade lower. Liverpool markets are one penny
per GENITAL lower from inside figures. The e1-
IRENE depression following the late failures in
Great Britain, seems to have given place to a
healthier feeling in the various markets, though
farmers necessities compel their marketing
largely at present prices. English and French
stocks are accommodating slowly. and English
millers, even at present prices, show no desire
to replenish their depleted warehouses. In
our own markets the movement from prOdu-
GERS to interior points and the seaboard has
fallen off for the week fully twenty per cent.
This decrease is applicable to winter wheat
sections. The fall movement from spring
wheat sections has scarcely set in, and large
shipments are expected next month from Ne
braska and Iowa. On the eve of winter, with
a falling off in exports, and brisk forward move
ment from first hands, we have already accumu-
idtcu Us a NlsiDic supply ohci it.VVO,otU
While the mountain of grain is in sight, and
each week appears to be further contributing
to its proportions, We may not expect-with-
out some political CONFUSION in Europe-to
realize higher values.
CoRN-Values in our markets are unchang-
ed from a week ago. Receipts at interior
points. and shipments at the seabOard, have
fallen off slightly, while export clearances for
the week ending Odd inst. were only 565,3l6
bus. against 1233, POS bus. of previous week.
Stocks in sight have increased for the week
100000 bus. and the movement of the new
crop has already commenced throughout the
Western States. Already fair portion of it
is in condition TO grade No. 2. Liverpool mar
ket is three pence per quarter higher.
RyE-The same decrease in movement to
market is noticeable in this as in other grains
during the past week. Prices are a fraction
better while demand for foreign account is
only light. Exports for the week 29,998 bus.
OATs-No change in quotations. Receipts
from farmers hands light, with an incrsase in
exports which for the week amounted to 49,
49,
