The crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1877-1878, 1878-03-21
THE MARKETS..


We are indebted to Messrs Powers,
Lynde Il Wright, of Kansas City, for the fol-
lowing reliable review of the grain trade:
WHEAT The past week opened with n
weak and dull feeling in home as well as
foreign markets, incident to peaceful set
tlement between Russia and Turkey. This
feeling increased with each succeeding day
and values rapidly declined to n range Of
prices 80 to 7c lower in our winter wheat
and &c to 4c in spring wheat markets.
In Europe there has been almost u SINH
lar depreciation, followed by the canceling
of continental orders for cargoos on pass
ago which tends to stimulate English mar
kctS.
English granarics are fairly well filled,
and with the war troubles over and large
quantities of wheat loading at Southern
Russian ports, English millers arc only buy
ing from day to day to meet demands.
Of our last crop it is fairly estimated 40
per cent. still remains with the growers;
bad weather and anticipated high prices
keeping it back. With the first few days of
continued fine weather we may naturally
look for Il considerable amount being forced
forward to market; aftorward holders will
be disposed to part sparihgly with their
grain till there Is reasonably sure pros
pcct Of another crop.
From the general outlook II would seem
the future OF wheat was in favor OF buyers,
but tho approaching season is ono OF so
much uncertainty TO the growing crops,
and so unfavorablo to the marketing of
any large amounts that spectators will
not be disposed to sell short" to any ex-
tent.
CoRS-English markets for the week show
Il decline of pence to % pence per quar-
ter, our home markets having declined
about 1c per bushel. An advance Of Zoe
per 100 lbs. in freighs that went into effect
on the 1lth from Chicago and st. Louis to
scabOard seems TO have only the slightest
manner affected prices. Awant of conf
lenco in the advance being likely to be
maintained Is the disturbing cause. RCa-
sonably llno weather during the week has
brought out liberal shipments, and with
continued favorable weather We will have
an unprcccdcntly large movement from tho
West to tho scabOard.
RYE-A largely increased movement In
rye has taken place AT the ScHbOard to meet
Iprrich orders, Exports for the week end
ing March were unusually large having
Increased to 93,5j7 bus, and reducing wis
i1lc supply nearly $4,000 bus.
