WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downine, Hopkins Company's Review
of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins Company's Review
OF Trade.
Outside of some little manipulation
of July options, markets were dull and
fairly steady last week. Spring wheat
in the Northwest is above the average,
both as to quality and acreage sown.
The whole Southwest from Kansas City
to Galveston is feeling elated over the
crop of winter wheat. The Kansas
hard wheat is of fine quality. Texas
has big crop.
Proctor Taylor, the well-known mil
Ter of Quincy, ILL.,, and member OF the
Chicago board of trade, has just re-
turned from trip to Oklahoma, where
he has been to see for himself about
the likelihood of getting a quantity OF
soft red wheat for his mill. The result
of his inquiries and observations on the
spot was, in his opinion, that Oklaho-
ma would raise between 10000, 900
and $4,000, 900 bushels of excellent
quality wheat unless his information is
largely astrav on acreage. He saw
field threshed that yielded 43 bushels to
the acre, and returns Of 35 and 80
bushels were quite frequent. His OBJ
servation was confined to the line of the
Santa Fe Railroad, an he said only the
best farmers-those having threshing
facilities of their own = had yet
threshed their wheat, but withal he
came to the above conclusion as to the
total yield.
The Minneapolis Market Record OF
June 20 says: The prospect for wheat
in the Northwest is not impaired dur
ing the past week. The growth is very
heavy and the head is forming. BY
opening the straw it is found that the
heads are of unusual length. There is
nothing now in sight to prevent large
yield. It is to be borne in mind that
there is yet time for many accidents.
If no accident happens to it there
ought to be more than 100000, 900
bushels harvested in Minnesota and
the Dakotas Allowing 80, 900, 900 for
the other spring states and about 80,
900, 900 of winter wheat, which is now
practically assured, and the outlook is
for crop for this country of 5,0O0,-
900 bushels of wheat. The question OF
price is also promising, for with the
small stocks to be carried forward, In
all countries, the new crop will go
more quickly into consumption and
leave small surplus to be carried over
to another crop.

Notice to Shippers.

Office of Commercial Agent,
Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. %, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance Of
the quar- antine restrictions at New
Orleans ind vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seaboard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orle ans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, We
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
81. 81 I. @. and Southern Pacific; M. K.
& T., II. & T. @. and Southern Pacific:
G. r. l. & p. II. & T. c. and Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. M. X. & T., II.
& T. G.. and SOuther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
Ine post office departments advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.
