Markets Grow Unsettled as War News Suppresses Trade
The market report notes hot dry weather with crops in danger and a lower Mississippi navigation. Financial markets fall on news from Pennsylvania and Vicksburg, with gold and foreign exchange down about 15 percent. Chicago wheat and corn show limited demand and firmer prices for mixed corn in store, while groceries and dry goods soften with the gold decline. Cattle and hog receipts are light, pork at 11 dollars, lard nominal, and provisions weak amid slow activity.
