volume OF business is larger than last year and
quite satisfactory, the bank clearings show
but the speculation in grain and cotton still
keeps the prices artifcially inflated, and exports
of those staples not what they should be.
The war furry abroad seems at an end, and
yet the bulls manage to keep up the talk about
1t, so that grain is steadily piling up in the
West and its movement abroad is spasmodic
and in comparatively small quantities. Cotton
is not taken for export any too literally and our
imports are beginning to increase, so that the
trade balance is anything but favorable.
Locally, dullness broods over the wholesale
markets while retail dealers, especially
those handling holiday goods, are experiencing
brisk trade. The -four market is sluggish, yet
values are firmer The Boston Journal says:
Ihe most hopeful sign in the flour trade is the
partial suspension of milling throughout the
West, estimated at about 200, 900 barrels per
week, although this fact is not noticeable as yet
in the receipts. Our receipts here have been a
good average, and at New York have been large,
as flour has been hurried forward so as to get all
the advantage of the present low rates of freight
At New York it is understood that more or less
flour has been received that has been ordered to
be stored for some two or three months. Other
wise the prospects of the trade are more en-
couraging. There is an abundant supply of
flour and wheat at all points, and the
expected improvement is still somewhere
in the future and as uncertain as
ever. Notwithstanding the comparatively
light shipments from the United States to Great
Britain the receipts into the United Kingdom
for eleven weeks 425 900 cwts. more than
in the corresponding period of last year, and
this indicates that Great Britain is to q great
tent independent of supplies from this side. There
is on the whole a better feeling in Great Britain
and the continent and prices are irmer, but not
sufficiently so to encourage active export move
ments from this side. In fact, while it is ad-
mtted that the position of the trade is sounder it
is believed that an improvement, with more ami
mated markets, is still long way off. The only
chance for an improvement here is light re-
ceipts." In the produce markets there Is moth
ing new to note. Turkeys and eggs are in good
demand, and choice butter is meeting with a
more ready SALE The sugar market continues
in the strong position of several days past.
The local market except for wheat was in a
stronger position than on Wednesday. Increas-
ing arrivals of corn do not break the markets.
The Board of Trade Price Current says of
wheat About in statu quo light demand light
offerings and light receipts, Futures dull and
inactive Markets elsewhere are dull and lower.
