Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-08-22

ances from the four principal Atlantic
ports were close upon 900 900 bushels in
wheat and flour. Bradstreet's report of the
weeks clearances of wheat and -four from
both coasts was 3750,0 600 bushels, against
4, AS 900 bushels last week and 76l, 900 BUSH
els on the corresponding day of last year.
Closing cables were weak, but the market
had alreaiiy anticipated that and recovered
some from the low point.
The corn market. considering the limpness
in wheat, the DISCRIMINATION in railroad
transportation resulting from the switch
mems strike. and the absence of buying Or
ders from the outside, held up remarkably.
There Yves a short period OF considerable
weakness during the first half hour OF the
session, but there were lots OF buyers VINO
stood in wait for the offered chance. Trade
there was no period of actual dullness dur.
ing the short session. There was good deal
! of talk about the backward crop and
drought in various sections. Light showers
fell this morning, however, in some portions
of Kansas and Nebraska. Corn was sold in
Buffalo for shipment, and this was regarded
as an indication that the strike was weaken
ing.
The provision market is still laboring un-
der plethora of long stuff in weak hands,
which is coveted by men o. larger means.
There WAS another considerable break IN
pork early, but the larger portion OF the
Fluctuations in lard and ribs were less ma
terial. Closing prices howdeclines in pork
OF 7]%c and about 211ac in ribs Lard closed
without change from Fridays resting
prices.
HOG receipts were light, and some of the
heavy traders were actingas if satisfied with
the amount of the recent decline.
Lake frrights were steady on the basis of
&c for corn to Buffalo.
