Worlds shipments were estimated at S,400,0OO bushels Ex- ports from both coasts of wheat and flour for the week were placed at 565i, 900 bush- els, against 3,765,000 bushels last week and 6,654,0 900 bushels same week last year. The weather map is favorable for grain. New York wired that the export demand at the seaboard was of fair proportions. Chi cago receipts 223 cars, of which sixteen graded contract. The northwest reported 1,495 cars, against 972 last year. The strength of corn and oats put a damper on the selling and induced many timid shorts to seek cover, especially in the December future, which for a time was bought on liberal scale.
 Corn was strong and higher with good trade. Cables were better and good for eign demand was reported.
 Oats were firm and higher, and the trade was more active than usual
 Provisions were steady and fairly active Room traders were good buyers. There was little selling pressure

 Birmingham, November 19.-Liverpool strength, both in futures and spots were the features. Spot sales 10000, with prices 1-32 up, while futures closed 1 point better. The disposition locally was to take the scalpers profits and realizing sales resulted in declines of to points on the day. Port receipts are estimated at about last years. The weekly receipts were little below ex- pectations. The Chronicle says the move- ment is liberal but somewhat retarded by rains. The position of cotton from a specu- lative view is hard to define, but the ma jority favor buying at these low prices

(By Private Wire to Jackson & Co)
 Birmingham, November 19.-News from Germany today was discouraging. The Im- perial Bank of Germany advanced its dis- count rate h per cent. With this announce ment came reports of the failure of Ger man bank and the execution of heavy sell ing orders in the American department at London for the account of Berlin. London operators followed this action, and prices for Americans came substantially lower, especially for the Pacifcs. News of strain- ed relations In the northwest between rail- road interests also had a depressing effect. The steadiness of Peoples Gas and the re- covery in Federal Steel and the upward tendency of Manhattan, Sugar and several other shares stimulated the demand all around, and later the feeling improved ap- preciably.
