The movement Of to this point far
this week is about up 70 last weeks movement,
but much smaller than the receipts the first two
days week before last. There q small de-
crease in the local stocks Of corn last week.
and this week a slightly larger decrease will
likely be recorded. Public receipts of corn the
past two days amount to 80 cars, against 81
received during the corresponding time last
week. Public receipts Of wheat thus far this
week amount to > cars, between 1000 and 5000
blu. If this movement continues this heavy the
remainder of the week there NJ be only small
decrease in the local wheat stocks to record in
Saturdays statement by the Board of Trade.
The small amount OF corn moving to and from
this point is about the only thing the local cash
dealers will talk about. There is considerable
marketable accumulated in the country
elevators in the territory tributary to this
point. but the railroads can move but little OF
movement. country acceptances are very small.
The elevator men in the county-seat towns are
more disposed to hold their corn for future mar
ketng than to sell it at present prices. They
are expecting considerably higher prices early
in the new year
