LL,ith the Grain Brokers';
Present Market Conditions

The local corn situation has begun to
improve with the continued cold weather
and the indications now point to largely
increased movement to this point for some
time to come. The Bassett Grain Com
pany yesterday took 10000 bushels of new
corn from country dealers, and John Gray
g. Co. bought $1,000 bushels of the new
corn.
Almost all of the dealers report larger
purchases, and general indications point to
the movement increasing. The corn in
spection yesterday amounted to 112 cars.
OF course, not nearly all of this was new
corn, but the increased inspection showing
indicates that country offerings are getting
more liberal, and that a somewhat general
selling movement by farmers has begun.
None of the cash dealers is particularly
optimistic about the new corn situation,
but most of the dealers say there is i'm
provement. and that advices from the coun-
try, along with the more liberal offerings.
show that increased receipts at this point
can be expected from now on.
The movement of new corn to the sea-
board is now from three to five weeks late,
and probably not more than one-third as
much new corn has been shipped East
from here this fall as last OF course.
there would not have been as much corn
shipped East from here this fall as last,
IL the movement mad begun as early as
usual, for the crop this year is not nearly
so large the 1902 bumper crop, and the
quality of this years corn is not up TO the
quality of the crop last year by con-
siderable degree.
