COMMERCIAL.
WEEKLY GRAIN RKvrKw.
We are indebted to Messrs. Lynde,
Wright 4 Co., of Kansas City, for the following
reliable review of the grain trade:
WHEsT-English markets for the week have
been dragging along without any finctuation
whatever for offerings on the spot, while cables
this morning report -cargoes red winter of
coast At six pence per quarter lower. There
il some abatement of the general commercial
distress that has been prevailing. but no reac-
ton that would lead to an early vigorous re-
sumption of business. Unusual snow storms,
during the past week, have hindered transport
tation and paralyzed business throughout the
Kingdom. The political outlook is decidedly
peaceful. In our home markets, supplies have
been liberal, and the visible supply" has in
creased to nearly twenty and half millions
of wheat, of which the greater part consists of
the higher grades. Since the New York clique
has taken hold of the spring wheat markets.
the speculative grade mo. q and No.
have been held above an export basis, and
foreign shipments have, therefore. been almost
altogether confined to the poorer samples. The
fact of these better grades being held above a
shipping basis will reduce exports until such
times - foreign buyers are prepared to meet
our dealers views. The speculative advance
that eliminated at the time of our last writ
ing in Chicago market has been reduced 2lsc
. bushel leaving the market, however, extreme
ly sensitive to q bullish movement. Spring
wheat markets on the seaboard have developed
no increased strength and do not respond to
the manipulated deals of Chicago and slilSau-
kec. Winter wheat is q fraction lower in inte-
rior markets. but otherwise comparatively I'M
changed.
CoRS-No material change in values in for
eign or home markets. Advices from all pro-
dncing sections indicate q free movement for
the future should favorable weather permit.
RYE-Orices are 1c lower with liberal re-
ceipts and fair inquiry.
OArs-No change in this market has trans
pired whatever.
FREIaHrs-The cut from st. Louis TO the
scabOarj is reported withdrawn.
