Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-13

Kingdom was 20 1000 bushels less than
last year and of a very poor quality, ana
that the country would have to import
l6 900 600 this year, also helped to give the
market firmness. But the report that there
had been good showers in many sections OF
the winter wheat belt and that indications
were for general rainfall, together with
the decided weakness in corn, soon under-
mined the firmness and the price went on
to yesterdays low point but afterward I'M
proved. Ifthere was any disposition yes
terday to criticise the Governments crop re-
port on wheat o. claim that it had cxagger-
ated the crop it was pretty efficiently set at
rest by the fact that the various State re-
ports as they come In intimate their crop
decidedly larger than given in the Govern
ment report.
The strength late in the session was
caused it was claimed, by the report that
tho weight per bushel of wheat Will Dc
lighter than last year, and that by figuring
commercial bushels the weld would ne
much smaller than the figures recently
given out would indicate. Besides. cables
did not decline as much as expected, con-
sideriEg the breaks in the American mar
kets
The opening was about Nc higher than
Yesterdays closing ruled weaker and prices
declined 3k@1lc, agafn became steadier,
prices advancing &c and closing easy AZ
from the top.
Corn was very weak a good part of the ses-
sion OH free selling, fine weather and pros
poets of heavy interior deliveries. Later,
however, there was rally largely que 70
the free covering by shorts on the oecilne
and the smaller anticipated receipts 1or 10
morrow. Price changes were limited TO tsW
lc range. Receivers were sellers atthe start,
many claiming they were unable to OBTAIN
one-quarter enough cars a1 the present
time.
Oats opened steady. but as other grains
were weaker, oats sympath1zed, ana, Win
liberal selling, prices receosd z2nsr z2gysc and Wn
the decline there was good buying, anu,
other grains showing more strength prices
advanced 1$@5sc.
The provision market was firmer at the
opening and was generally maintained
throughout the day at an fmprovement
upon yesterdays closing prices; Prices had
their GIBBS and flows, but on the whole the
article principally traded IN, The feature
was the taking by Wright on the call OF all
the offerings. His purchases were ABOUT
5000 barrels
but the offerings were light. Rates to
Buffalo held steady ut 219c for wheat ana
PIC for corn.
