LIKELY NEXT SEASON

Supplies Of apparel wool in the
United States at the beginning of
the new marketing season on April l
next are likely to be about average
and larger than year earlier, it was
stated by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics
Supplies on November / were smaller
than on that date in any of the five
years, 1880 to 1884, but were larger
than in 1885 and 1886. Mill consump-
ton figures for November and De-

to be below average.

In the first quarter of 1888 is likely
to be somewhat smaller than in the
corresponding quarter of 1886 and 1897.
Wool prices declined in November
IN both domestic and foreign markets.
Prices in both sectors have been de-

CHICAGO, Dec. 11-Duplicating

are just now cashing in during sea-

period.
With the same good fortune that
attended the doings of the Egyptian
Pharaoh's minister OF agriculture,
Joseph Of the coat of many colors,
United States corn to the extent of
millions of bushels total Is finding
eager buyers in foreign lands where at
present scarcity prevails because of
crop shortage. Furthermore, European
demand for corn is expected to con-
tinue large all through the season.
prospects being that this country may
have the major portion of world ex-
port trade in corn the coming four
months.
BY coincidence, tenacious cold
wave has simultaneously both cur
tailed the domestic marketing or corn
and increased the farm live stock
feeding use Of the grain.
Compared to one week back, corn
values in Chicago this morning were
ll2-2h cents higher. wheat un-
changed to 70 up; oats at q decline to
4 advance; rye showing 7s-1Hs bulge,
and provisions 30 to 81 cents down.
Although the majority of traders
are expecting that the Governments
forthcoming report on the 1887 do
mestic corn crop will show moderate
increase over last months estimate,
the corn market chiefly reflects instead
the notable development of demand
from abroad.
Many farmers meanwhile are re-
ported to be dissatisfied with current
prices OF corn and holding back for
to 10 cents bushel further ad-
vance at country loading stations than
has been obtainable the greater part
OF the last week. Some Iowa advices
indicate that growers offerings are
sharply limited to amounts which will
bring in just enough cash to care for
immediate needs.
Wheat price upturns are largely
based on reported severe losses to the
Argentine CROP leaving but an ex-
tremely small supply of wheat avail
