This has been week Of record breaking.
In wheat. In silver, In some forms Of iron

lowest prices ever known have been made.
and It is gratifying that failures Of inn.
portance have not resulted. While mo action
especially affecting business prospects vas
taken at Washington the continued dis.
cusslon OF revenue and monetary measures.
and the uncertainty regarding them have
a constant unfavOrable influence. and in.
different inakets have caused sudden
fluctuations in prices. Wheat ut 90 3-s
cents is not only lower by ~ cents than
1t was for single day last year, but lower
by 4 13-14cents than It had ever been In the
previous seventy-seven years.
A visible supply Of over u, ,OOO, ono bushels
Feb. 10. with sales and receipts from farms
continuing large, has completely DESTROYED
faith in the official reports of the Weld last
year and caused enormous liquidation.
The recent decrease in foreign demand has
been an important factor. Corn and other
products fiuctuated but little, though re-
ceipts of corn were large The slight re.
covery in prices Of iron products has not
been maintained. Bessemer pig has de.
clined at Pittsburg to $40 is and gray forge
to s96', and steel billets are sold below SIG
there, while ut Philadelphia most rolling
mill products are lower than ever.
The decline is the more noteworthy be-
cause an increase in the demand is re.
ported. both in eastern and western mar
kets, especially in structural forms at the
west and here where several large build
ings are projected. Textile industries do
not seem to have gained within the mast
week, Tor as many works have closed as
