THOMSON & M'KINNoN GRAIN LETTER
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Wheat: 1t is quite
evident that the depression in the minds
1t is exhibited plainly in the utter absence
| of buying in the way Of anticipa ton of flu
ture wants. This destruction of buying
| power is the important market factor at the
moment There was foreign demand from
| other sources than Belgium, today's bust
ness being estimated at 1000 900 bushels.
ihere was also some export business in flour
from interior markets, the fist on the
crop noted in that section. The arathy
on the part of the buyer may prevail for
an indefinite time, but the primary cause
II me decline in prices. namel yofferinzs
of Canadian at less than domestic val
ues. is not condition at present. 1t seems
to us time to dsabuse the mai of any
thoughts of serious financial trouble
NOT a. attention should be given to the idea
entirely upon the welfare of the farmer
1t should also be kept strongly in mind
that the foreign demand has eaten largely
into our expOrtable surplus.
Corn-It is not possible to point to any
broad investment demand in corn although
it is fact that the eastern distributing
trade Is more inclined to build up accumula-
tiOns. The idea Of deflation has been thor
| oughly exploited in this grain, particularly
SO If we take into account the advance in
freight rates of 40 to so per cent over those
prevailing prior to the war. The invest
ment side of the market offers oppor-
tunities.
Oats-The above remarks relative to COM
pletion of deflation apply as strongly to
Proysions-The country is liuuida ting
hogs and the fresh meat trade is slow, we
believe, however, that the idea of lower
prices has been somewhat overdone.
SHEPARD & aLUoK COTTON LETTER
levels for the season were reached on some
months in the cotton market today, the
session being series Of breaks. Pressure
WIS felt on the opening and it was strongest
rear the close, when the trading months
were Is to 1874 points lower than the last
prices of Wednesday, with January off to
Ia: 4lc and March to 14.41c.
The weakness of Liverpool yesterday
started the decline, and it was continued. on
the unfavorable Interpretation placed on
the American note to Great Britain and the
weakness in the stock and grain markets
| Liverpool was heavy seller ON this side
| and pearish sentiment was increased by
| cabltgrams from Manchester that the Master
Spnners Federation had recommended so
| per cent curtailment for spindles working on
| American cotton
| Heaviest selling followed reports of easier
| spots in some portions of the eastern and
central belts. and late in the day the market
unquestionahly was affected by the small
mill takings for the week, Hester placing
world takings of American cotton at only
$50 600 bales against 492. 900 this week last
| year and $40, 900 two years ago.
Sentiment seems more bearish than at any
| previous stage of the season, and it looks
| as if the only thing that can prevent further
declines is improvement in the spot situa
| ton.
