The St. Louis Republic., 1903-09-09
GRAIN VALUES LOWER
WITH GENERAL SELLING.
STATISTICAL NEWS FAVORS
THE BEARS.
Visible Supplies Increase and the
Movement to All Primary
Markets Is Heavy.

Slight recazsions were the net result Of
rather narrow market in wheat yesterday.
There was an early attempt to boost prices
on rains, but those traders who had
banked on frost in the Northwest were so
disappointed that they were ready TO sell
out on slight provocation. The excuse
came in the shape of large receipts every
where and generally bearish statistical re-
ports.
