and is fourteen million bushels greater than
one year ago. These facts, coupled with the
limited shipping demand, cause the bears to
operate with great freedom; still it is believed
that the market is oversold, and any genuine
war movement between Spain and France
would cause grand rush to cover, and en-
hance prices rapidly. With seven million
bushels of wheat in the Chicago warehouses;
and no movement worth noting, the bulls
are scarce, and scalping market is the result.
Since Monday, with various fluctuations,
prices are about the same to-day on cash,
slightly lower on November and consider
ably less on the deferred futures Many
prominent traders on the board have
marked October wheat for 80 cents during the
month, and with the present depressed feel
ing it would require very little hammering
to reduce the market to about that figure.
An anomaly of the market to-day is that mid
dlings sell by the ton for more than rye and
corn. Ii any warehousemen have allowed a
rebate on wheat taken out of store they have
promptly discontinued the practice, although
they may try to encourage shipments in
other directions. The rumor that Chicago
is likely to become so glutted with wheat that
country shippers will be compelled to seek
other markets has some slight foundation,
owing to the condition of affairs recently.
The million bushels of rye stored here is
one-half the quantity received here yearly
for the past three years. Many 16ars are
wondering, in view of the situation, why
wheat does not break sharply; but the fact is
much lower range of prices will probably
not be established until figures are evened
up. The premium of January, and even
May over October will have to be reduced
before the market can sell off easily. During
the first four days of the week corn advanced
about &c. This is of course. for the regular
speculative grade, No, 2. The
receipts of rejected corn now
comprise over half the receipts, and con-
everywhere, and it has sold during the week
within &c of No g. Tie speculative grade
is selling for future delivery at discount
under present month, which the bulls say
renders it a safe purchase and it is believed
that strong parties are now loading up pretty
freely, The market was oversold early in
the week, but the shorts covered about 81
100000 bushels toward the latter part of the
week. The receipts are growing lighter and
are expected to continue quite moderate for
several days to come as it is reported that
the loadings in the country are decreasing.
Lake freights on corn are easier this week,
and prospects are excellent for an increased
activity in shipping. Corn is none too cheap
at the present range of prices; confidence is
pretty firmly established and better prices
are looked for.
