The Philadelphia Record of Saturday, in its
review of the wheat market for the week,
says ga check to the movement of spring

part by wet weather, light shipments from
winter wheat districts (where farmers are busy
with fall seeding), and the poor grading of
most of the recent arrivals of Wheat III Cmca-
60, enabled spectators to force up prices to
u cents per bushel during the week, but most
of the advance was subsequently lost IN other
markets than Chicago, where prices at the
close of business yesterday were 4 cents per
bushel higher than they were week ago.
Eastern markets are only Is to 4 OF cent
higher for the week. The speculative strength
developed in domestic markets has been re-

The weekly report of Dun & Co. of New
York, for last week, says: ''The unprecedent-
ed movement of cattle and fresh beef to Eng
land attracts much attention, the exports hay
ing been over 900 head of cattle and 40 000, 900
pounds of fresh beef within three months, end
ing with August, besides 34000,000 pounds
cured or canned beef With the National
Steamship Line engaged in transporting cattle
rather than passengers, this movement seems
likely to increase largely, and it is noteworthy
that the export trade, though barely maintain
ed in some important branches, IS steadily III
creasing by large increase in minor items
not hitherto important"
