Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1890-02-07

ulative realizations in the face of an inditfer-
ent demand and an interior movement winch,
though moderate, is still running ahead OF
that of the corresponding period last year.
Reports of large stocks of flour accumulated
in New York, and prevalent belief IN the
existence of large unmarketed supply OF
| wheat have combined to depress prices, al
though the actual stock Of wheat at CONNER
cial centres and in transit has decreased over
| half million bushels since last week. Inc
export movement is moderate, although the
weekly comparisons since early IN Octopef
| show considerable increase in shipments LOT
the present cereal year. The comparison,
| however, is with period of stagnation III the
| export trade caused by the Hutchinson specu-
| lation in the fall of 1888. The Chicago corn
market has declined u of cent and the New
York market Is OF a cent per bushel. Interior
receipts have moderately decreased, but are
still very liberal in comparison with those OF
the preceding year, and the shipments to the
seaboard have continued large. Export de-
mand has been fairly active; but the facts
that cars are still scarce at Western shipping
points, that foreign markets are weakening
from the effect of recent large purchases, and
meet current bids for tonnage, have combined
to discourage the making of contra cts for ft-
ture clearances as freely as they were made
few weeks ago. Chicago speculative infiuen-
ces have caused a decline of 271a cents per
barrel in the price Of pork, and 10 cents per
100 pounds in the price Of lard although there
has been good movement of hog products on
both home trade and foreign orders.
