OTHER GRAIN.

GRAIN GOSSlP-Gossip by private wire to
the New York stock exchange and Chicago
board of trade.-Kansas City: While
don't believe in crop scares this time of year.
yet the answers l get from inquiries will
all be to the effect that we have had very
severe winter on the plant and 1t is undoubt-
eddy damaged; also that we have never grown
good crop after severe winters, that were
even milder than this one has been. The
damage reports are coming from very relia-
Bile people. '---Qur Ltverpoo, letter of Jan
ZS: we have not responded readily to the
advance on your side thinking 1t ONLY due to
the general spirit of speculation and not war
ranted by the actual position. Sales of Ar
gentine cargoes have begun and an advance
asked stopped the business. Stocks at ports
again increased 10000 quarters. Shipments
are so far small, but will soon be important
fair trade was done at I'd per Genital ad-
vance Millers must buy for current wants,
but our stock is now a little larger each
week and the requirements of the United
hlngdom this season are reduced to the ex-
tent OF the increase in home growth.-New
York: Contract. 100000 bu No. red under
way for shipment. Five steamers already
taken. This does not look as if Russia was
seillng much, as this wheat is destined to
Lisbon.
