THE MARKETS.

The newest feature in the grain
markets is the increased difficulty in
transportation owing to the snow and
the congestion prior to the last two
storms. Reports are that country
elevators are full of grain, and when
conditions allow this grain to reach
market it is to be expected that some
thing of a slump may occur. How
ever, this would not effect the market
for long, and we still adhere to our
former claim that the Legitimate con
ditions warrant a price of at least
S1.10 on ocr local market before the
mex. crop. We made this prediction
when wheat was about 80 cents, and
this week the price went as high as
$1.04, or within Scents of our limit.
The visible supply of wheat for the
United States, Canada and Europe is
only 6,5O0,000 bushels greater than a
year ago at this time, an increase that
does not amount to very much.
Oats. barley, and corn have receiv-
ed a boost the past week. The
damage to corn in Iowa and southern
Minnesota is probably responsible
for this. What effect it will have in
the future we cannot say, but believe
the damage has been about discount
ed by the advance already realized.
Hogs sold at Chicago Tuesday as
high as $500, with the bulk of sales
at So 35@8.55. This is a little lower
than the top of last week. Sheep -
Western yearlings went at $6.75@9.OO.
All stock markets we're a little lower
