wheat, so much the greater must have been
the surplus from previous crops. In any event.
the free movement shows that the scarcity Is
due to tho western farmers and holders. The
market, In spite OF reports indicating q smaller
foreign supply, reacted after u rise Of . little
over ten cents. closing half . cent higher for the
week. Lower rail rates helped corn to make .
new record OF Slis cents, and prospects arc
generally favorable.
Cotton q ivanced by quarters on reports OF
injury. but there are really few who expect
less than a large yield. The iron industry Is
helped but little by the settlement, which
gives puddlers Of the Ohio region the 80 cents
advance in wages, because the demand is 50
