Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1890-03-14

Messrs. Lee Trimble, 7. J. Thompson, and
Logan Turner There is complaint there of
scarcity of cars, as an unusual number of
them are wanted just now for hay and grain.
The Philadelphia Record, i'll its review of
the markets for the week ending on Saturday
last, says 'sThe price of wheat in Chicago
advanced cents per bushel early in the week,
as result of apprehensions of damage to the
growing crop from freezing weather; but the
subsequent snowfall on the exposed wheat
field relieved anxiety on this score, and there
was increased pressure to sell, under which
all OF the advance on late futures was lost.
But the price of cash wheat was comparative
ly we'll maintained, and, as compared With
figures current week ago, is Is OF cent per
bushel higher owing to a small interior
movement, fair milling demand and
further reduction in United States visible
stocks. The export movement of flour has
continued liberal, and the combined shipments
of the grain and its product are still running
ahead of the weekly totals for the correspond
ing period last year. Corn prices average Is
of cent higher on the Seaboard and 4 OF
cent lower in Chicago. The offerings OF corn
from interior points in the West have been
less liberal, but Eastern operators have
bought largely in Chicago for through ship
ment to the seaboard and it is in the air,
though not proven, that there has been some
new juggle in freight rates west of the Missis
sippi to the advantage of the Western grain
centres. The export demand for corn has con-
tinued good but the stiffening of seaboard
prices has partially restricted business. Values
of provisions have been strengthened slightly
by reduced packing operations for the week
and to 10c per 100 pounds advance in the
cost of hogs. The distributing trade in hog
products has been fair for the season, and ex-
ports continue very large-last weeks ship
ments having been more than double those of
the corresponding week last year.
