Hesitation Dominates 19th Century Trade Outlook
Hesitation remains the leading feature of both speculative and legitimate trade as capital flees untoward conditions.

Prices for wheat and cotton stay depressed, exports fall, and travel disruptions hamper freight and trade activity. Crops are good, supporting eventual recovery. petroleum prices in Antwerp hit a record low, and markets stay dull with some relief in April expectations.
