we are lnueOteQ 10 Me6Srs. Lvnde
Wright 4 Co., of Kansas City, for the followin,
reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat-Liverpool markets, since our las
review. have declined one penny per GENITAL OF
wheat, and our markets shsU . correspondent
decline of one cent per bus. Continental mar
kets are frmer, with holders demanding u
advance. The weather throughout Grea
Britain and the Continent has been unfavora
bic for spring sowing. Estimates of the fall seed
ing in the United Kingdom indicate . reduc
ton in the acreage from 1877 of fully % pc,
cent. France and Germany also report Lighter
acreage sown. as well as diminished stocks.
From the Danubian provinces the large out.
turn of previous year need not be expected
Political discomfort, fomented by Russian in.
trigue, has driven sway largely of the farmer
population. and paralyzed the industry to q
great extent of those remaining. From Indis
reports of continued drouth still are coming
which will work serious injury to crops in that
quarter.
Throughout the whole wheat producing sec.
tons of Europe at present writing, the out
look is not promising for an average crop. The
demands of England and France for the bal.
ance of the crop season are estimated to be in
the neighborhoOd of 10000 900 bus. Italy will
also be liberal buyer in foreign markets
Russian exports will meet but . small portion
of these requirements, owing to inferior quail
ty of shipments. Central Europe, under pres
ent unfavorable prospects of growing crops.
will not market freely. and from our stores the
bread of England and France. during the next
four months, must in the greater proportion
be drawn.
Our present visible supply" Of 100000 900
bus. may prove delusive in the end for foreign
buyers. Ordinarily it would represent the
existence of proportionately large resources
yet to be drawn from this country-whereas
during the manipulated markets of the past
winter producers were large sellers at every
advance fearing general tumble after the
clique" had taken out their profits. The re-
serve in winter wheat sections is unquestion-
ably small, and reports from spring wheat
districts show the better qualities largely mar
keted.
Corn-Early last week Liverpool markets
had declined one penny per Genital but . bet
ter feeling prevailed. Visible amp
ply" is going down and stands at 1904 ,0ls
bus Exports have been the same - previous
week, while in interior markets, . greater &C
tivity prevails, due to reduced freights to the
seaboard. Values are unchanged with . firm
or feeling.
Oats and Rye-Both cereals were in better
request with prices q shade higher from last
week. Exports of oats none and rye sc, 900
bus.
