wEk8LY GRAIN REVIEW
We are indebted to Messrs. Lyide
Wright & Co, of Kansas City, for the foliowins
reliable review of the gr.in trade:
Wharf.-The situation of the wheat market.
home and foreign are in nowise changed from
q week ago. The same continental demand
continues for our winter wheat and low
grades spring. Values in leading and country
foreign markets are relatively unchanged
Supplies are sufficient to leave Q surplus in
English and French warehouses after meeting
the wants of the consumer. Lower rates BY
rail have stimulated larger shipments from
lower Russia and Austfo Hungary. The polit-
ical situation in Europe is undisturbed, and
confidence is gradually returning 10 the home
of English industries.
The spring wheat markets are still 'throt-
tied" by the New York clique, and their efforts
seem to tend towards accrstoming outside
parties to present forced prices before unload
ing. This taking possession of the markets Of
the country operates seriously against foreign
orders and misleads shippers when least ex-
pected. The wheat vaIaes of the whole coun-
try are to a greater or less extent shifted from
day to day II the caprice of few capitalists.
The situation. however, is not without its CON-
pensations. IL has stihed the CRY of the
'scalper" or chronic short seller" whose voice
has always been against the producer.
When these bulls" may let go or force val
ues to . higher range is a constant query for
dealers. Future values therefore are based
upon no trade estimates; our daily reports are
but the points showing the manipulations of q
ring.
CORN-The reaction in this cereal noted .
week ago has given away to . heavier feeling.
and values have declined q fraction since last
review. Export clearances have been light.
weather continues favorable for husking the
new crop, which is now about secured. in llli-
nois and Iowa as well as Kansas. and the gen
eral cheapness of feeding stuffs works dis
advantageously to the seller. The movement
to interior markets and the seaboard for the
week was equal to previous week, and the
close of lake navigation will not favor holders
in western markets.
OATs-There has been no change in values
and the movement to market is fair. small
amount has been taken for export, and for
eign orders are light.
RYR-Export clearances for the week were
72.355 bus. and deliveries from farmers show
light reduction. Our German customers of
late have been largely supplied from Western
Russia, this source interfering with our for
eigu demand very seriously, values unchanged
