VINDIcAToR OFFICE,


STAUNToN, VA. Jan. 30. !
No quotable changes in grain or hay. Mar
kets remain firm without special activity Not
very much doing in anything in the Staunton
market.
The Philadelphia Record of Saturday in its
review of the grain markets of the country
for the preceding week, says: ''Wheat prices
have declined q to "a of cent per bushel,
chiefly Oh account of the Indifferent foreign
demand and the absence of activity in the
speculative markets. The interior movement
from week to week is much larger than it was
a year ago, although it is smaller than it was
last month. Domestic visible supplies have
been reduced 100000 bushels by moderate
clearances from Atlantic ports and steady
demand from millers, but the reduction in
stocks counts for little against the knowledge
of a larger invisible supply and the general
apathy of speculation. Wheat has so long
disappointed the expectation of the specula-
tive buyer that comparatively few operators
now care to incur the expense of carrying it
against the remote possibility of something
happening to give permanent upward i'm
pulse to values. Chicago prices Of corn have
advanced u of cent per bushel, owing to
lighter receipts and heavy shipments; but
Eastern markets have felt the effect of large
arrivals, a weakening of values in England
and a less active demand from exporters, and
prices on the seaboard have declined n OF a
cent per bushel. Export business in corn,
though not so active as it was fortnight ago,
has been fair. 1t has been hindered somewhat
by the delayed arrival of chartered tonnage,
as we'll as by the weakening of foreign mar
kets The interior movement of corn, though
smaller than it was in preceding weeks, was
nearly double that of the corresponding period
last year."
