New York Correspondence Enquirer:
There Ia much speculation among members
| OF the Produce Exchange as to the amount of
| benefit America ts to receive from the de-
from Europe. The failure of crops on the
Continent. the demand for supplies BY the
war In Africa, the exodus of farmers from
Great Britain. and several other causes are
| mentioned as reasons for expecting q good
| trade from England. 1t is conceded that she
| and Germany as well as France, Spain and
Italy, will have to look to other nations for
the supplies. America is able to furnish
them all Il they only seek the produce here.
But some OF the Produce Exchange men are
worried because English customers are dealing
directly with Chicago Cincinnati and St. Louis
produce buyers, because through bills OF lad
Ing are made without any Intervention on the
part OF New York merchants. leading pro
duce man is quoted in a commercial Journal

reap all the benefitof the great grain trade of
the 1all and winter, and that New Workers are

bitterness that he spoke of the Western enter
prise that had jumped over tho heads III New

that for the new system New York men We're
chiefly to blame and that they would nowpay
the penalty OF former neglect inactivity and
exorbitance.
