The rallies were sckly and caused fresh
realizing each time. Exports were light
and the grading of low wheat receipts be-
gins TO improve The opening price for
December was &c of at D3Mc, and the first
hour gave that future thu range from 03Bc
TO 03Bc, from which thore was a dragging
decline. The market was dull and weak till
the close at 1 o'clock. Tho lowest point for
December was 931Sc, and the close was at
D3Hc, or lc under the last night close. There
was a light trade in corn, hyt the crowd was
determined enough TO let prices down
slowly. In one sense the decline was a re-
action from the bulge Of yesterday, caused
by the scramble for cash corn. The closing
price was the lowest for the day, and lTc
under last night.
. Oats were easier in sympathy with corn,
and HmHc lower, with q moderate trade
for October, but the market otherwise was
quiet
Provisions closed at prices q little better

lieved regarding our own winter wheat
crop, and yet the actual results show that
the deficiency is not startling, and that in
some sections, notably the State Of Michi-
gan, the yield will considerably exceed that
of last year,
The reaction produced by this state of
affairs caused n shrnkage in values, which
was severe bloW TO many and an injury to
trade Many well informed and conserva-
tive people think that the final result in our
spring wheat will be only another case where
"history repeats itself"
Regarding the shortage in other countries
than our own, it will be well TO remember
that on the other side Of the water they are
as capable OF eycggcratng as our own, and
when they fall short we have those among
us who are competent TO make good the de-
deficiency, and that the genus crop killer
is seldom handicapped by facts, even from
the exaggerated reports TO build upon. That
most able. reliable and conservative trade
paper. the Cincinnati Price Current figures
ont that the worlds supply OF wheat is but
per cent short Of an average. Meanwhile,
the advance in this market, with the advance
in lake, canal and ocean lricights, has iarcG-
cccdcd any such shortage. In this conncc-
ton, ! would suggest that those countries
most largely short, will, with economy
greatly reduce their requirements, and that
the enhancement Of values will largely cur
tail consumption.
our own visible supply is approaching
dangerously near that Of last year, which
was found much too large to permit even
fair prices. We will have moderate
amount Of wheat Tor export, and II Of poor
quality, 50 much the worse for values, and,
with the high rates Of ocean freight II We
hold prices unrcasonably high, we will most
likely cause an accumulation of tho
property. which will be a serious blow "a
values later on.
Such tactics have been pursued In the
past to our serious disadvantage, and 1t is I,
| be hoped will not be repeated.
During the past ten days prices have
| ranged within rather narrow compass
| quite near the top. Meanwhile the hui
news has been freely circulated until every
country paper has advertised starvation "a
staring civilization In the face, and the new
has gone down Ia history, while the country
Is getting well loaded with high price,
wheat aud think that We will, ere long
find that the lowprccd longs have unloadc'
on 10 the lambs
It is, of course, impossible TO guess at VIVA
moment these high priced longs will let 81
and Il may be- that grand hurrah will tax
place lirst but the conservative merchant
who will sell wheat Mt present prices, base
on present conditions will act In the ligl
NJ reason, aud is likely 10 find lac has made
profitable investment when the great "roun
up" comes. Yours truly, Jas. u. StryENs.
P.s-1oday from the local outlook, NJ
inclined 10 feel that the break expected Ia
begun, but whether IL has begun In cnrnci
or not, | cannot but feel that II cannot i
