wKKKLY GRAIN REVIEW.
We are indebted 70 Messrs. Lynde,
Wright 4 Co., of Kansas City, for the following
reliable review of the grain trade.
WHEAT-Our home markets during the past
week as during previous weeks also, seem to
have fixed each for itself their own scale of
prices without relation to one another. Sea
board markets have dragged along frsm day to
day with scarcely any fiuctuation, waiting for
the large receipts that are blOckaded in transit
Light exports, due to want of steamer room.
and no stimulus in the way of foreign demand
or foreign appreciation, have not been favora-
BILE to trading in these markets. Interior
markets have been accumulating all kinds Of
grain from first hands, with no immediate
prospect of reshipping it. Railroads termin-
ating at Chicago have ordered agents to receive
no more grain billed to that market. Winter
wheat markets show no material change from
last review, while No. spring wheat At Chica-
60, that has ruled steady for some time past,
took . start this morning, and ut present writ
ing has advanced 25zc since close Of yesterday.
This grade OF wheat in this market as il well
known has been in the hands of q New York
clique who would seem to be taking advantage
of the want of elevator room to force higher
values of settlements.
Surrounding markets show no disposition to
follow suit at present. The situation, the-e-
fore, with Chicago and Milwaukee elevators
full and no roads to the East open has not i'm
proved for western shiPpers. With the excep-
ton of q decline of one penny per GENITAL in
spring wheat, Liverpool markets show no
change from last week. Imports into the
United Kingdom have been light, stocks at the
principal markets are gradually decreasing but
English millers are not vet disposed to buy
for the future. French country markets have
not improved. Liberal supplies from North
ern Europe are reaching them and French buy
ers are not taking cargoes off the English coast
The political outlook is unchanged, as Affect
ing values of breadstuffs.
CoRS-An advance of 1l@% in this cereal
in Chicago in sympathy with wheat and pro-
visions is noted. Seaboard markets are un-
changed, and the movement in foreign markets
has been sluggish, and without any improve
ment.
RYE AND OArs-Are without change in
values, or without any special feature of in
terest.
