Trade Improvement Lagging as Prices Fall Widely
The week shows only a barely noticeable trade gain with a late and unsatisfactory southern movement. Retail demand remains for necessities, while prices are set to fall in the near term. Clearing house data show shrinking business. stocks are high and production exceeds consumption. Grain crops are large, leading to record low flour and wheat prices. farmers hold grain and turn surplus corn into pork. Freight favors canals over rail due to low grain prices. rail rates hinder trade. Cotton reports are unfavorable as port stocks rise and prices trend downward. Commercial exchange and inspection: 104 cars listed with various grades of corn and oats.
