More could have been reached but millers are now paying above an export value. It will probably take the balance of the Ontario and. Manitoba wheat to see Canada through until the next crop." a The steamer Ferd Herold.

with 1,000 tons of frelirhi consisting of groceries, provisions and flour, left yesterday afternoon on its Inaugural trip along the Red Klver. in Louis-lanaand Texas. This boat bas been chartered by St. Louis parties, who Intend to do business direct with that section, owing to the inability of the railroads to obtain satisfactory rates from the Red River Steamboat Co. Tbe following from Chicago is given as an illustration of bow the wheat trade Is in Canada- "Last week a farmer hauled a load of wheat to a mill at St.

Catherines Ontario where It was sold for 55c per bu. He wanted a load of middlings to take back as feed, and was given such pound for pound for the wheat received. When tbe farmer asked for a ticket for balance due him he was not a little surprised to find that be owed 75c. which he paid, but will not haul any more wheat to change for middlings. The middlings are salable at $19 per ton.

and the demand takes all obtainable. Where are we drifting to? Wheat will haul out ot this sharply some day." The railroad and warehouse commission has issued the rollowlng regular statement showing the market value of 1 nard wheat at Duluth on Feb. 3. l9t compared with actual sale of 8,000 bu Manitoba 1 hard wheat in Liverpool for Lon on dellveiy on same date.

He does not examine the stock begets it into his own house. to reject all he sees fit. and can sAj1i8 "chalk" without limit in short, bad. etc. No man could enjoy greater opportunities or privileges protecting himself in a business transaction, and the seller accepts the result-presuming the buyer has treated him fairly, "is a largely one-sided arrangement, in which the feller Is to a great extent at the mercy of the buyer.

The constant flooding of the cotf "windy," unfair. Incorrect or mwleadlng printed or written matter for the shipper to Imbibe, Is one of the worst evils extant. We do not object to advertising, or the proper setting forth of facilities of our market, or of our own facilities, or proper quotations, or the inviting of new shipments and new shippers. But it Is only necessary to grasp almost the first circular you can get your hands on, from any section of our broad domain to see to what extremes and to what lengths the liars have gone. Cllculars and letters thrown broadcast among shippers, holding out golden Inducements for consignments, carry upon their face warning and arouse suspicion.

The local agent ana solicitor who is the cause of so much strife between competing houses, does much to unsettle business relations, and a detriment to any reputable firm who pins its faith to him. And when it is remembered that the tendency of many firms Is to make the shipper pay bis local solicitor's wages (directly or indirectly), it is well for the shipper to put on his "thinking cap. From a tresh letter upon my desk I tate this excerpt "Honesty is the best policy" even In the fruit business, although It seems to take a lon time for the majority of fruit dealers to find it out. Most ot tbem die in ignorance. L.

11. Branch in i-Vuif Trade Journal. Butter is no longer exported from this country to any extent, consequently the entire make of this country must find home consumption. All goes fairly well with the line makes of both creamery and dairy. But when It comes to using up all kinds, or finding sale for them, we miss the export trade.

Foreign markets that formerly bought our goods are still buying such stock, but give us the cold shoulder, owing to the mixtures of imitation butter that have been sent on to tbem for butter by the "oleo" men in this country. Only very recently an English Judite fined a dealer (1,250 for selling a tub of butter that proved to be oleomargarine, although the dealer showed he was not aware it was oleo, having bought It in a lot of butter. The judge held he should know what he was offering and selling to an unsuspecting consumer. This judge also declared the stuff was not fit tor human use. Foreign countries, even France, where oleo originated, seem much opposed to the use of It, and are far more strict In their laws regulating and prohibiting It than this country, where the manufacturer's money counts.

Sheep Pelts-Full wool pelts sell at 40050s against nearly 700,000 bu tbe week before. Of the sales last week. 107,000 ba or nearly one half of tbe entire business, was done yesterday and the reason for yesterday's liberal purchases was that the United elevator sold No 2 red at 2Vsc under the May option and announced that beginning Monday the difference would be 2c. This Induced milling buyers to lay in a good supply of the relatively cheaper wheat. Not a bushel has been taken for export, all the wheat purchased being for milling and mainly then for local account.

60 low was the stock of No 3 red and the lower grades that nearly all the wheat sold was contract grade. Private warehouse stocks are at such a low ebb that their proprietors are very chary about disposing of any more of their stock, and buyers bave to depend entirely upon the United Elevator especially as tbe "week's receipts bave been only 29,775 bu. The total stock is 4,612,000 bu. of which No 3 red. Tbe decrease so far this week was 1P8.G00 bu, nearly all in tbe contract grade.

Yesterday Ho 3 red sold at 55c No 3 was salable at 62Vtc, No 4 winter at 60V4C and No 2 hard winter at 82c. Corn prices are showing evidence of weakness and tbe market of congestion. There is too much accumulating in tbe markets, and, for that matter, at shipping points in the sections where the yield was greatest this season. The visible supply already contains about 18,000,000 bu, and there Is no evidence of an increased demand to relieve tbe markets of their increasing stocks. Clearances for Europe continue large, and If they are maintained at the rate they nave been since Jan.

1 the total tor the season will be about tbe largest ever known. But this European demand is but a drop in the bucket in comparison with the usual home requirements for feeding and manufacturing, the trouble Is that these home requirements bave been so far this season largely below the average of previous years. Like everything else, it has been conducted on an economical basis and this naturally reduced the defnand. Besides the supplies held In tbe primary markets, the shipping points in the West and the Northwest are holding large stocks In store and loaded in cars on side tracks and they are now evidencing a marked desire to dispose of them. The belief that rail rates from Missouri River points are to be restored to their former basis on March 1, tbe present "cut" to be done away with.

Intensities this desire of these country holders to get rid of their corn. So far they have not been able to dispose of their holdings to any extent, though they have marked their asking figures down considerably, but their reduced oders to sell bave not resulted In any large sales to the market. The bullish feeling that has been so prominent In speculation bas grown much feebler, buyers are scarce and wary and trailing consequently ot the lightest. No material decline has so far taken place in the May option, for which 34c was bid at close of yesterday. The demand for cash corn has been of the merest retail character tbe greater part of the week.

The receipts of 681,000 bu were smaller by 60,000 bu than the week berore. but a lamer proportion was local, lees golnt: through than at any time since the new crop began moving to market. This increased offerings somewhat, and what added to the amount on sale was the selling of a considerable portion of the stock held in Farmers Elevator. To meet this Increased supply was a very light local and shipping demand and some buying or moderate extent by an exporter. The stock in store of 1,081,000 bu, which increased 142.000 bu this week, shows bow much the supply exceeded tbe demand.

Of the total stock 915,000 bu is No 2, wblcb is sold against for May. The price has worked lower. Yesterday No 2 sold at and No 3 had 3J'a32iic bid. Tbe latest sales of No 2 white were at 3Hc, and 323c was bid yesterday for No 8 white. In the language of the commission man, who deals extensively in them, oats are but a "feed store" market.

Not many are coming from the country and not many are wanted at the markets. Locally, about bu arrived this past week and that was about enough to satisfy the requirements of the trade. Stocks here continue very small, and are now less than 27,000 bu, of which all but 10,000 bu Is No 2. The country still seems Indisposed to sell freely, which is probablv a good thing for the markets, as there is not tn sight a demand that could cope with large offerings. Speculation Is as dead as a door nail, and It Is almost Impossible to draw an offer to sell or a bid to buy, either In the pit or on tbe call.

Still prices remain firm at about the same level as for some time past. May has sold during the week at 30isc and yesterday was offered at SOtjc, with only 30c bid. The demand for the cash article was entirely from local feeders, shipping orders being very small. Yesterday No 2 sold at 2914c and 27c was bid for No 3, No 2 white sold at 31tac and No 1 white at SO'-ac The advance in wheat, which was hailed with great satisfaction by the bulls. Is regarded In an altogether different light by the flour millers, as It bas again cut down the demand for their product and has reversed the condition of the market, from great activity, as noted a week ago, to the o.d condition of extreme dullness.

The advance In wheat naturally made millers more firm In their views of prices on flour, and the manufactured article was put up In the same proportion as wheat. This had the effect of cutting off the foreign trade, which showed up so well the weeit previous, as the bids from the other side were generally 9d too low. Nor much was done In the export trade after Tuesday, when wheat began to advance, although some favorable factors had In the meantime developed. In the first place another cut was made In the Eastern freight rates, the lowest obtained since the tariff went into effect on Jan. foreign exchange was In lavor of the seller on this side and the price of bran held remarkably firm.

Dut these conditions were of little avail. The home trade took tn little more kindly to the advance and paid 5c a bbl more for flour, but business was not near as good as the week before. The total shipments were 44,5.0 bbls, of which 33, 7S5 went South, 9,624 East and 1,100 North and West. The mills were running on good time, and the output shows a further increase.

As a result prices are astonishingly low. and yet the small figures uo not check the very liberal receipts which continue to come daily. The late cold snaps penetrated South as far as Florida, the freezing line being passed at several shipping points in the State, strawberries and other exposed early perlsb-atle products were so badly Injured at a few places that the growers hesitate shipping them to distant markets. The offerings of potatoes have been so very liberal without Interruption that the bulk of the dealers declare It Is useless to figure on margins, that most of the operator seem determined to sell at aDout cost and that a small order trade alone discloses any profits; The principal dealers appear disgusted over the situation. The largest car of live poultry ever shipped to this market was received last week from Pearce Lee, Doniphan.

by the Dosa Alison Produce Co. It contained 511 dozen, or a little over 6.100 head of fowl, and all tbe stock was in good condition upon arrival. Florida cabbage which could have been placed here at $2. so a crate only a few days ago was bard to sell yesterday at $2. and the number of cars en route almost Insure a further reduction during the coming week.

The scarcity of tbe article and advance developed at New Orleans raised prices rapidly here the past week.

There has been nearly 4c advance in wheat Irom the low point reached by the speculative option, and the martet ha at times Shown a solidity that appeared to augur weU for a future or largely higher prices. It may be, however, some time before any consider-able further appreciation in value is seen and--out-and-out buU markets assured Viewing the situation as It is at present and retrospectively the conditions of the past. It Is only too apparent that any further material advance, unless backed by decidedly more favorable condnions than now exist, would result detrimentally, not disastrously, to the bull side. The latest period of depression the markets of this country passed through carried wheat down to a level so extraordinarily low that it reawakened the legitimate demand, which so long bad lain dormant, and brought into the situation the cash buyer for the actual article. It did not, howeTer, to anywhere near tbe same extent reassure the speculative Investor, though certainly the buyfng for long account has been freer, more confident and better In every way than had been seen for some time.

Tbe reaction and the general strength that has marked wheat of late has certainly attracted more than usual attention from tbe outside public, but so far bas not drawn into tbe vortex of speculation what Is known as the'cutsider," except to a ratber limited extent. Nor has it cooled the ardor of the pessimistic bears particularly, who are as numerous and seemingly as confident of seeing 50c wheat for cash surely, probably for May and possibly for July as they were a week ago. "Doubting Thomases" were Just as plentiful around 5sc as tbey were during tbe landslide down to 64Wc. The question is. would it not be better for the present and future if tbe market, to have low prices rule that would keep the actual cash demand actively at work, and thus dispose of a greater portion of the enormous supply In sight, rather than to bave speculation shout prices up to a point that would stand oil this cash demand and throw the market back into the waterlogged condition that bad sunk it so low? The check Indeed it was almost a complete stoppage to the cash demand for both wheat and Sour that the late advance or not quite 4c has brought about would appear to answer in tbe affirmative.

It is probable that tbe present advance. If maintained, would eventually result In the cash buyer coming In again at tbe higher levelof values, and so the market might gradually be worked higher and higher. But the very decided subsidence of foreign orders for wheat and flour since the price got up a cent or so indicates very plainly that tue European buyer is not willing to follow, just yet at any rate, an advance on this side, and the same, too. is tbe case with the domestic buyer. Distasteful though It may be to be obliged to part with a standard product at unproductive prices, still how much more solid would be tbe position of that product and huw mucn more certain the prospect of remunerative prices for the next crop, were the present burdensome old stocks reduced to a point where they would be no longer a weight upon and a menace to the market, as well as a costly charge upon speculation? The highest prices reached on the late advance were 58tec for May and for July on Friday and yesterday's close saw sellers at 6714c and 583c respectively.

These figures were iVic for May and 5sc for July above the preceding Saturday. Ihe new crop option-July wis relatively weaker, as quite a number of the leading bear traders are transferring their selling operations to that month, deeming it a safer sale than May. Tale next decrease in the visible promises rto be the greatest of the season so far. Estimates are for over 1,000,000 bu and probably it may reach 1,500,000 bu, the latter just doubling the decrease of one year ago. Tbe local stock should show a falling off of 225.000 bu.

The Northwestern markets' receipts have been so small that their increased milling output bas drawn largely upon stoctcs in store and are expected to decrease 350,000 bu, unless private warehouse stocks bave been used. It is about time Buffalo's stock should begin to run down considerably and the seaboard New Tork especially should show quite a hole In their supplies. Then there are the smaller interior markets, whose stocks are going out of sight, taken by local, but more largely by outside mills, which cannot obtain supplies in their own Immediate territory, fc-o really the prospects are good Tor quite a slice being taken out of the visible. It will take quite a number of such slices, however, to bring the present amount down to where it will cease to be a bear factor. a Besides the public stocks there bas also been the reduction in private stocks held in the accumulative centers, and this is an unknown quantity.

In the homo martet It has been certainly large, for while three private warehouses have sold extensively to local and outside mills, they have not been able to replenish their depleted stocks, so meager have been the receipts. On Feb 1 the private stocks were 1.067.000 bu. and March 1 is not expected to show more than 600,000 bu thus held. On May 1 of last year they amounted to 875,000 bu. The stock: In rubllc elevators Is now 4,600,000 bu and.

if all the wheat that has been lately sold for export and milling was withdrawn, it would probably not be much over 4.000.000 bu. On May 1 last year there was 4,300. Ouo bu in stock here. At that date cash No 2 red was and May 4ti5c higher. Now.

cash is 55c and May 2lsc higher, and this difference Is to be reduced to 2c to-morrow. An average of a little over 220.000 bu dally as the total receipts at the twelve principal receiving points for past week, indicates either that the country has very little wheat to market, or that the farmer Is holding on to his reserves very tenaciously. Tbe country mills, or the majority of them at least, report an inability to obtain sufficient wheat to supply their wants from tbe country surrounding them. It is beeomlng to be more and more believed that the wheat is not back in tbe country. If this is the case, from whence will come the wheat to replenish the stocks at the markets, if they are largely reduced before the next crop moves? The March report of the Department of Agriculture will show unusually small reserves in this country, if the results are arrived at by following the methods of estimates employed by the present statistician's predecessor.

Figuring on Dodge's method, the result would be about as follows: Reserves on March 1, 1883. 1S5.000.000 bu; visible supply on same date, 79.000,000 bu crop of 189S. aatj.oOO,-000; total. 610,000,000 bu. Deduct from that 800,000.000 bu for home consumption, bu for winter and spring wheat seeding, exports for twelve months, say 175.000,000 bu; total.

525.000,000 bu. This would make farmers' reserves on March 1, 1894, 95, 000.000 bu, or 24.3 per cent of the 1893 crop. The year before it was 26.2 per cont and the lowest previous average was 25.6 per cent in 1882. when the amount was 93.000,000 bu on a bu crop. Adding the probable 76.000.-000 bu visible of March next to the estimated farmers' reserves of 95,000,000 bu, this country will have 17,000.000 bu on hand at that date.

Out of this must come 100,000,000 bu for domestic requlremeats, whlcn would leave 71,000.000 bu for export and to carry over Into the '94 crop. At the present rate of exports this surplus on July 1 next should be around 80,000,000 bu. There is any amount of talk regarding overproduction and the belter is general that this Is increasing, with new countries opening up farming lands and putting them into wtieat. Outside the Argentine Kepubllc. which baa furnished some very elastic exportable, surplus, probably wun be Idea of booming its bankrupt credit.

JXSIt. a. that has really lo-ri5k1 in wh.eal Production. There are different countries raise years. The United states has harvested over 600,000.000 lBS than 000,000 bu.

India exported 64 000 OOO two years aKo and this year hardly ship 8O.000.000 bu. Australia has not enlarged her wheat production, nor so far as can be learned irom the vague and unrt liable crop statements received from Russia" has the country of the Czar, so all this talk of increasing production of wheat can be nut down as only for effect.

an That there Is going to be an Immense crop of eegs In the country, especially lu the territory tributary to this market, is an assured fact, The supply will be far In excess or any former one. lie continued heavy receipts of dressed poultry coming here la the best evMence ot this fact, and advices received by the various merchants show that there is still aa abundance of live poultry in the country awaiting some Improvement in prices. The peaches In Texas are far from being 11 killed as sapDosed by many, and although they bave to run the gauntlet in March, the worst month In the year on the new buds, there Is still hope for half a crop. The following from Wesley Love of Jacksonville, Tex. leading peach growing district or tbe State, Is of interest.

Mr. Love is an experienced cultivator and one of the Dig shippers: "Our fruit crop 13 good yet, and while some of it is killed there Is plenty left, and if tbe spring trosts don't kill off what's in sight, will bave what may prove a good crop. Reports from Norfolk, say: The truckers are blue over their kale and spinach crop. They are shipping, but the returns hardly pay for cutting and marketing the stuff. The crop is la splendid condition, and there is plenty of it.

and as the spring cabbage crop is coming on they are Impatient about the demand. Within two months there will be an enormous early cabbage crop to ship from the county and mav make up the loss on kale and spinach. There bas been no weather this winter to hurt anything on the truck farms, and many of the berry plants are in bloom and bearing fruit. Oranges have not, after all, gone as low in the various markets as many predicted some time ago. Indeed, it can be said tnat Florida oran ges are higher now in the principal markets than the most thoughtful and conservative operators In the trade predicted two months ago.

However, this Is In a measure accounted for by the small offerings of the California orane, competition from that quarter being still light. "There," said he. "What do you think of that?" as an experienced operator on the street threw down In front or the scribe returns for a car of cabbage he had consigned. The account sales was a story full of disappointment to the shipper. It was New Orleans cabbage.

The freight on the car was only $30, and the net proceeds of this car was Just 2. However, the owner came with it from the s-outh and the prices ruling here did not satisfy him, so he shipped it elsewhere with the above result. The receiver reported the goods in bad order. a A wholesale egg dealer. That egg case trial before the Arbitration Committee recalls the Frenchman's expression: "It is the unexpected that happens." Mr.

Brockman, with the weakest side of the case, was well equipped for battle, his tacts marshalled In line and so adroitly handled una presented to the committee that the majority of them decided In his favor. Billy Brockman's wide experience before similar bodies served blm well, while with Sam Plngree it was wholly different. being his maiden eflort. It Is true Sam had the only egg dealer on the committee approve his side of the case. 1 he result ot the discussion develops tbe importance of having more men on the Arbitration Committee from among the general commission merchants, who are more familiar with the wholesale egg traffic in this city.

The new rule under which to sell eggs, it was hoped tbe late decision would establish, has a hard struggle for existence. Indeed, It might be regarded as dead already, except in special cases or for future delivery. A 1 II 111 8:50 am 7:50 amlt 7:20 pm 10:46 am 1:25 pm 1:00 pm 1 nn. Southern Fast Mail.

Cotton Is experiencing the same dose that has so long characterized wheat little speculation and lack of interest, and this In connection with dull trade in dry goods, both at home and abroad, and large stocks ot cotton, was more than the market could stand.

Tbe immediate cause of tbe break was the decline In silver In London, which started a large liquidation of cotton In New Tors, where the buying was confined to a few prominent houses. There has been a further decrease in the movement Into sight, as compared with last year and tbe year before, but even in the light of this movement there is little confidence felt In an extremely small crop. The decline in silver has had a most demoralizing effect on tbe cotton goods trade of India, Argentine, Brazil and Mexico. The report of dry goods market shows a somewhat better demand but at further concessions in price, a fair business bas been done In print clotbs at 24C. There were no new developments in the hay market this past week.
