The Philadelphia Record of Saturday, in
its review of the grain operations of the coun-
try for the week, says: "Wheat prices have
declined and recovered under speculative in
tluences, and the general range of values is
only 4 to e of cent lower than it was q
week ago. The interior movement of winter
wheat has been very small, and receipts of
spring wheat moderate. Export business has
continued dull although there has been
better inquiry for spring wheat which is
wanted by foreign millerS to mix with other
qualities of imported grain. The export de-
mand for corn has continued fairly active,
but business has been restricted by small
stocks at Atlantic ports. There is a large
quantity of corn on the way from the West by
water routes, but considerable part of it
will be diverted from commercial centres for
distribution at interior points Western re-
ceipts of corn have decreased, and the visible
supply, has declined 2,3S2,OOO bushels since
last week. Prices show little change Values
Of hog products in Chicago average slightly
lower than they were week ago, but there
has been fair home-trade distribution and a
well-sustained movement for export. Ship
ments of meats last week, however, were
little less than they were during the CORE
spending week last year.
