Southern srot advices were more bull

The market showed further de-
cline yesterday. Tuesdays rumors of
slightly lower offerings in the cost and
freight market were followed by some
scattered trade selling, while there
were very few buyers in evidence as
prices eased off to 1862 for December
and 7.99 for May deliveries. This made
a loss of about to 9 points as COM
pared with the closing quotations of
Tuesday, and the day ended with prices
at the lowest, showing a net loss of 7

was again unsettled, with feverish price
changes. Early in the day there vas a
strong upward tendency, with some
good buying based on reports of lib
eral purchases of compound lard by
the Belgian Relief Commission. Sub
sequently, however, prices gave way
sharply under renewed selling. inspired
by the break in cotton. Final prices
were at the lowest, with net losses of
3 to III points.

to secure sufficient wheat to fill their
orders for flour, nor is there wheat
available for export. Il is not ques-
tion of price, as these are fixed by the
government on the basis of $500 in
Chicago for No. Northern spring and
$3.50 in New York. but farmers are in
no hurry TO make sales, probably be-
cause they are busy on their farms
and see no reason to haul their wheat
to market in a hurry.
Corn.--It was the opinion OF the corn
trade that the frost damage was not
sufficiently great to cause alarm, al
though il will require some little time
before the full extent of the loss can
be arrived at In the Northwestern
States the damage was the greatest.
while throughout the big corn states
east of the Mississippi whatever loss
there was seems to have been confined
TO the lowlands, and is not believed to
be great. The market, however, after
showing an early decline of Ssc 70 &c
under selling on the optimistic re-
ports regarding the extent of frost
damage, rallied and advanced about
cents.
The weakness in Wall Street and the
disturbed political news from Europe
caused quite active selling late in the
day. however, and prices again reacted,
closing with net losses Of sec 20 12c.
"The Price Current" said that frost
damaged the crop in the last week in the
Dakotas. parts Of Minnesota and Iowa,
but probably not a great deal. The
government weekly bulletin reported
damage in North Dakota and southeast
CT the lower lakes. with slight damage
IN the Ohio and Central Mississippi
valleys.
Cash markets were generally hrm,
and the scarcity of old corn continues
TO exert a bullsh sentiment in the
market ard serves to Offset the favor

is being offered here in fair volume
and was quoted at $l.6l to Sill c. l. l.
