Among the Commission Men.
There can be no further doubt as to the grain
prospects in this country. More favorable
weather never blessed the efforts of the hus-
bandnan than that which has fallen upon the
wheat crop. There are no more cries of weevel
and chinch bug and Hessian hY and red spider
and locusts; no more alarms of rust and smut
and mdew; no talk of damages by wind and
hail, and the chronic bulls have not during the
last week been able to find one unfavorable
circumstance of feathers weight, gossamer
strength to bolster up the market, and the con-
sequence is that wheat has seen the lowest price
ever before reached. Around ST. Paul and south
of US harvest is finished and threshing is pro-
ceeding and from the thresher issues the bright
est the plumpest and the hardest wheat ever
produced either in this or any other country
The samples seen, and they were not few,wer
uniformly prime milling wheat, free of cookie
and chess and imperfect berries The
farmers in this locality at least
have occasion to rejoice over large
crops of splendid wheat, and if prices do rule low
q universally good crop at low prices is better
poor CTOp Will nigh prices. III the
former case everybody gets something but in
the latter q favored few are paid handsomely,
while the many starve. Nor are good crops con-
fined to this country. Reports from Europe are
all favorable: ''grain matured in exception
ally good form All the earliest wheats are now
in perfect milling condition. The trade in car
goes off coast is literally dried up under the baz
ing sunshine, so run the reports, and foreign
wheat and -four find no market. The position
tahen by the GLOBE and uniformly maintained
for the last eight months is now demonstrated to
be the true one. soc for a bushe of wheat was
given Us the intrinsic value, and the opinion was
expressed that cash wheat would probably sell at
Chicago at 75c before harvest was over How
well founded were these opinions has been
proved ny the course wheat has taken since the
prediction was made, in spite of every ruse and
trick of gamblers, and by the present
state of the market The movement of grain at
this point for the week was according to railroad
returns. az follows: receipts los cars, being So
cars more than the previous week; shipments
Il cars, or 72 cars less than the previous week
The elevator returns show %, 737 bushels re-
eeived and Is, sos bushels shipped. The mills
received from elevator $4,000 bushels, from
y. s NJ. road 1000 bushels, from other points
COCO bushels. The receipts from farmers
wagons have been very light Considerable new
wheat has been offered TO the millers but they have
not yet bought any. The probable price for the
new crop at this point will be zoe for No regu-
lar and 75c for No. - 1t is thought that for the
next season prices will be regulated here more
by the fluctuations of the central markets, and
that the mills will not as heretofore try so much
speculatiyeiy as they have done, but will either
act more or less upon the s'hand to mouth
principle. There is no change to record in -four.
The gross business has been about the same as
last week with prices unchanged-railread re-
turns show trihing decrease in the shipments
amounting to cars. There has been but little
doing in corn, the receipts have been extremely
light and the stock in elevator has been reduced
by 400 bushels only; prices have ruled steady
There has been fair business in oats-princi-
pally No. 2 mixed, bat the whole transactions
amounted to only 1911 busheles, of which 2,31l
bushels lessened the stock in elevator. Prices
have ranged from 28e to 39c. There has been
next to nothing done in barley, 600 bushels
only beingthe total receipts. There has been
great falling off in the demand for ground feed
transactions being but one-fourth of what they
were for the previous week; prices have
been steady. The receipts of
hay were more liberal, the part
week; 20 cars shipped into the city found a
ready market but at lower figures, prices falling
from $40 to $3.50. There is nothing new to say
of butter. The market remains about as it was
last week. There have been during the week
two three sales of large lots, upwards of
1000 pounds per lot, Of creamery at ISe620c
Bacon ana hams remain very firm and the latter
very scarce, and another advance may be ex-
pected. The corner on pork is being maintain ID
and the market is accordingly seriously affected,
prices having advanced 81 since last week
Dressed meats are quiet and steady. There
is no change In hides, tallow ,
and wool Brewers materials are steady and
quiet Live poultry is in active demand with
very little receipts. The local trade is fairly
well supplied by farmers deliveries but the
shipping demand is greater than the supply
Lodi md o11v h.
qualities of ginseng and SENECA snake root COM
mand the quoted prices. Fruits during the past
week have been very brisk. The supply of blue
berries has been large and of good quality;
Dlackberries have also been in good
supply and have sold well. caiifor-
in more plentiful and in better shape; prices are
shade lower. Domestic peaches. that is, fruit
from MARYLAND, Michigan, etc., are better In
quality and more abundant and prices have
dropped one half, selling now at S1.50 for half
bushel baskets. Grapes are beginning to come
in both from below and California, but they are
not yet of good shipping quality. Vegetables
are splendid, abundant and cheap.
