Wide range OF prices. The markets wcro lower |
thun tho preceding afternoon, hut averaged |
higher thnn Monday. though tho foreign atvIccs |
were worry depressing. Liverpool reported a
drop Of about Is per quarter on whcut, and ono
telegram chilled corn Is 1Ud nor cuutal, which
WAS eQ,,nl to q decline OF 10 per bu from Num-
days prices. People on tho other aldo Of the
Atlantic uro evidently afraid TINT tho moving
cut Of our stocks Of wheat md corn will further
beat down prices. Tho news rcnchcd them cnrty
this week that vessel room wns being taken for
great deui of II, and they eoem to 10 now undcr
tho impression that the Rvulat,cho hns (cg1n 10
full. 1t may bQ that thpy hRvS .oyercstlmntcd
tho result. They certainly hayc been
holding oil 40 long for this very thing TINT tholr
stocks nrp ou,te low, nntl there aro some reasons
for thinking that good tlenl Of tho wheat has
been 1u,otly placed on tho othor sltlc IN advance
OF its being shipped out Of store. The depres-
sion there surprised a good many Of o,ir people
yesterday. They had thought that Mondays re-
action hero would turn the ocnlo there, and wero
disappointed to find London and Liverpool
wcnkor than ever. Provisions opened out
strong, but BaRged Oh Inter, with a Livcrpool
decline Of 81 in lard to help the de-
preston duo to sympathy with wheat.
