The Philadelphia Record in its review OF
the grain market for the week ending Satur-
day, says "Prices of wheat have declined q
to Is of a cent per bushel since last week.
The change is less the result of legitimate in
fiuences than of the action of Chicago specu-
lators The continued Indifference of export
buyers and an increase in the movement OF
spring wheat in the Northwest would be suffi-
cient to account for the Decline but these
features of the situation were just as promi-
nent last week when the market advanced.
The speculative position is dominated by
much the same clique of operators as that
which controlled the market year ago, and
in the absence of radically new Developments
in the export trade it is anybody's guess as to
the immediate future of values. The move
ment of winter wheat to all markets continues
small, and there is a well-sustained demand
from millers."
Dun & Co. S review says of the grain mar
ket that Speculation in wheat has weakened
and the price is 1Ac lower, with sales of
46, 900 bushels here. Corn is 1c and oats 15c
lower, and pork steady. The general level
of prices is nevertheless shade higher than
October /, and has advanced IA per cent
since September-a result due rather to par
tial failure of some crops than to increase OF
monetary supply
