The Philadelphia Record in its review, Sat
urday, of the grain markets OF the week, says:
'sThere has been a net decline OF ~ cents per
bushel in the price of wheat, due chiefly to
liquidation by overloaded spectators, who
have been unable to force the market to
higher level in the face OF large interior
movement and the unsatisfactory condition
of the export trade. Exports during Septem-
Der declined 5000 900 bushels from the mode
rate total of the same month last year, and
the total shipments from both coasts since
July 1 have fallen to 6,251 ,172 bushels, as
against 30, O02, 9O6 bushels during the CORES
ponding period last year, when the cornering
operations of cold Hutch seriously crippled
! business Corn prices have advanced 1 cent
per bushel in consequence OF good export
| demand and small movement from the West
| to the seaboard."
| Dun & Co. in their review for the week
says: liquidation in wheat continues, with
prices SC lower than week ago, and sales OF
| So, O00, 900 bushels here. Stubborn facts, heavy
receipts and scanty exports wear out the pa
! thence of those who have had faith in world s
famine, and State official reports indicate q
larger yield than those of the Department
Corn is PC higher with sales of 5,500,00C
bushels, and the export movement still eX-
ceeds last years. Pork products are weak,
and in hogs the decline has been COO pei
100 lbs"
The Clarke Courier says: eve have never
known stock cattle to be rated as low in price
as now, Judging from offers made for them
They are as proftless to raise as wheat. Chi
cago dressed beef and low railroad freights
from West to East have almost ruined farm
ing east of the Alleghanies.
