MeSsrs. Lyme, wright q Co., OF Nan
sas City, furnish rs the following reliable re-
view Of the grain trade for the past week:
Wheat-Values during the week past have
been extreme in their fluctuations and rapid
in their movement in our home markets,
varying within tWenty-four hours from two to
five cents . busheL. This unsettled movement
il mainly due 10 speculative influences. though
in part sustained by an advance Of four pence
per GENITAL in English markets. English and
Continental markets are gradually hardening,
and have not receded from any previous ap-
probation.
Deliveries from Engliah farmers continue
light, showing An inferior quality. The re-
quirements for European consumption are e.
timated at 100000 bus, while available
supplies from wheat exporting countries are
placed at 2S5, 900 bus, leaving deficiency
in the worlds product Of 81 100000 bus. to be
provided for BY other breadstuns. However
close 70 the facts this estimate may be, there
are good commercial reasons for believing the
surplus Of this country will be surely want
ed. How We are contributing from our
surplus may be UNDERWOOD when We say
that during the past eight weeks from At
lAntic ports alone, We have sent abroad So,
IA, 795 bus. or about Jne fourth Of what the
United States are expected to be able to send
abroad during the present crop year; add 70
this the shipments Of the Pacific coast and il
literally with our share. Receipts At our in
terror markets have been improving, and from
the LIST of August to the 18th Of September At
lake and river pOrts were greater by 1000 900
bus. than for the same time last year. This
out turn has occurred, notwithstanding the
almost universal disposition among farmer
T. hold over till spring.
Corn-Liverpool markets have improved
pence per GENITAL since our last review, while
our home markets have yielded TO . decline of
two cents. Exports have fallen of for the
week amounting TO but one-half Of the previ-
ous week. A fair amount Of the new crop il
beginning to come forward and will continue
to supply to limited extent, the place of old
corn.
Rye and Oats-Are comparatively unchang-
ed.
Freights-Unchaneed.
