WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW .


We are indebted to Mnqsrs. Powers,
Lynde g. Wright, of Kansas City, for thefol-
lowing reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat-No material change in values in
| foreign or home markets has taken place
since our last review In the United King
dom of Great Britain the crop prospects
promise Il more abundant yield and better
quality of wheat than two or three weeks
ago, and the general tone of country mar
kets Is easier. While weekly supplies from
imports and home deliveries are falling
short of actual consumption there is moth
| Ing in the general situation that would tend
to induce higher prices. In our own mar
kcts the influence the July corner at Mil
| Waukce and Chicago has not entirely pass
ed away. There have been fluctuations in
values since the beginning of the month
! but prices have not been sustained. From
| the spring wheat sections of the Northwest
we still have conflicting rumors of the in
! Jury to the crops, but in no case do the cal
culatiOnS fall below what cannot be sup
piled from the increase In the winter wheat
sections. We are safe then In assuming
that we enter upon another twelve months
with as well stocked granaries as when we
commenced Il year ago, but without the
| last years advantage. Then our offerings
| to foreign buyers were OF the highest quail
| ity and absolutely needed to work off their
own inferior grades, at present tho English,
who are Our chief buyers. havH Il crop
above the average while oar spring wheat
which Is chiefly taken for export, is below
| To compensate for the partial failure of the
spring crop, we havo secured Il winter
wheat crop much above the average, and
we therefore look for our winter wheat TAX
| ing the place TO Il great extent that spring
wheat previously occupied, inuring p7olt-
ably TO tho growers in winter wheat Sec
tions.
Corn-In this market there has been no
| improvement in values. Shipments from
first hands have been fully up to previous
week and export clearances aggregated L.
jG9,G7S bushels. Frequent rains and hot
weather continue to force the growing plant
and from all the corn sections there Is prom
ise of an enormous yield. "StOcks In sight"
on the 27th July were G,6l2 ,2Oi bushels.
! Oats-No change in values for cash lots
and future deliveries a tr'c easier Ship
mcnts on foreign account continue large,
amounting for the week ending July 27 to
2l0 40 bus,
Ryc-Fmctuations in prices in this cere-
al have varied = to Sc q bushel during the
week, ruling at present at the minimum
prices in sympathy with wheat The de-.
mand is very active and all offerings are
