COMMERCIAL
WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.

We are indebted to Messrs. Lynde,
Wright & Co., of Kansas City, for the following
reliable review of the grain trade:
WHEAT-The most agreeable feature in the
past weeks markets has been the improve
ment in the tone of English markets, though
values show no material appreciation. Follow
ing upon this better feeling abroad, our home
markets have continued to advance. still pre-
venting buyers at the seaboard from filling
foreign orders. This advance has amounted
to fully &c bushel, in both spring and winter
wheat, in our leading markets. The delay in
unloading cargoes at Liverpool, occasioned by
the late strike of dock laborers and sailors.
has ceased and work is resumed again. From
the plague" districts nothing of actual i'm
portance as TO their real condition has been pub
ished and the strong efforts apparently made
by theRussian government to repress statements
through its press. have an unfavorable effect.
The weather in England has been uusatisfac-
tory for spring planting-being too cold and
wet. Farmers deliveries develop no improve
ment in the quality of grain marketed and
millers must have the superior foreign grades.
The has been no movement to the Continent
and French markets rule frmer but unchanged
in values. Our exports for the past week have
fallen of, being 1.S05.610 bus. Rumors are
current that the present sustained advance at
Chicago il due to large outstanding contracts
for this month and Msrch-the clique holding
a. in the early part of the season. the cash
wheat. Beyond the general impression that q
gradual reaction is taking place from the de-
pressed values of breadstuffs during the pas
few months, there seems to be no accounting
for treir upward movement. Receipts ,on-
tinue liberal and the visible supply" shows q
gain, amounting to 2l0l4,ls0 bus.
CoKN-Light exports and liberal receipts
have also increased the visible supply Of
this cereal to II SAG bus. Values at interior
markets show an appreciation of &c per bus.
and the one sided movement of wheat has
driven considerable spectators to corn, max
ing this market more than ordinarily active.
OATS AND RYE-Have improved . fraction.
Rye showing more activity, due 10 foreign or
