The Markets Opened Lower, but Did Better at the Close. SAN Fraxcisco, Aug. 30, 1897. The following resume of the wheat market is furnished by E. A. Bresse, Produce Kxchange grainbroker, 412 Pine streel San Francisco. 9:15 A. M. SESSION. Wheat opened strong on stronger Eastern mar- kets. December siarted at $1 5414. There was aflood of selling orders at the opening, which crowded buyers beyoud their wants. The closing was weak at $1 53%. May, $1 53. 10:15 A. M SESSION. ‘Wheat bears betwwen sessions went out and sharpened their claws and returned ready to ham- mer the market, which they did. December wheat opened at $1 527, aeclined to §1 51 and closed at$1 51%. May, 81 5U%@1 5134 11:15 A. M. S¥SSTON. Another rald was made on wheat prices. Le- cember started at $1 5114@1 5154, declined to $1 5014 and closed at $1 513, December barley, 91%c. Breaklooks about over for a day or two. 2 P. M SESSION. Wheat was in better demand. Shorts were cood buyers. Derember opened at $1 5214, sold at 81 53 and closed at $1 5234 May, 31 52. Wheat acts with more animauion; 100ks temporarily higher. Wheat opened weak on lower Liverpool and Paris cable advices. Liverpool deciined 234d for wWheat: Paris reported flour 1Y francs, Wheat 75 ceutimes iower. ‘ihe lucal ‘ciowd sold wheat freely arouna opening prices. “The Freuch clique” were good buyers of December and were 8aid to bs good sellers of Seplember—at least. this impression was given out. Cudahy slurzed De- cember wheat from 8954c to 88lac, when he turned buyer with the s alping crowd tr.iling closely. New York reports the export demand only moderate. The visib.e supply dvcreased 1255 bushels, making the to ai visible supply east of the Rockies 15,450,000 bushels, or 30,000,000 bu hels less than at the same time one year azo. Wheat and flour on passage to the Coatineut and United Kiugdom inc eased 260,000 quarters Shipments from :he Danube decreased 1,500,000 busheis, as compared with the past seven duys one year ago. Shipments from this port exceeded receipts by 93.000 bushels. The stock of coniract wheat in this market ix danerously low. IFarmers’ deliv- eries are small. surprisinzly s0. EXports to-day were liberal. liberal scale. Many lLimits were worsed to-day. The whole market has & ;strong following on the short side; the sawo is trué of the long aide. Sep- tember sold l4c upder December ‘to-day, s agaiust a premium of 9c less than a week ago. A great many outsiders have been hoding Septem- ber until the last day of August in expectaiion of asqueeze. The bull clique has been alive Lo this coudition of affairs, and consequently lowered the marke. 80 that they might pick up (hese holdings at their own price. It is more than probable that Beptember will gain its_former jremium over De- cember after September 1. Le Petit Jourual, in » recent issue, says: “The weather bas been very favorable tbe past week, both for the continuation and ending of the harvest. But as the reaping progresses the deficic becomes more and more apparent. The reports from the north, wh.ch heretofore were very hope- ful, assume now a more and more pessimistic tone. “We find ourselves face (0 face with the foliow- ing facts: First, Iast year's crop and reserves ara completeiy exhausted. Second, this year's crop seriously deficient, and estimated by the most pes- simistic at 85,000,000 hectolitres and by the most optimistic at 100,000,000 hectolitres. Third, an wbundant crop in' tne United States, estimated at rom 580,000,000 to 650,000,000 bushels. Fourth, visible supply stock und reserves in the entire wor.d exces.ively reduced. The last crop must have been underestimated, for we have used up fourteen months’ requirementsout of a yeac's sup- oly and reserves. It I» quite certalu that last year's crop has been compleely used up; also all Teserves in farmers' hands. 'This year's crop yields deceiving results It could not well have bren otherwise, since unfavorable weather conditions have 1ollowed coatinuousiy durlng all winter and spring. “The amount of the deficlency can only be exactly given by the Government's final official crop report. We hope that the Government will be more careful und exact thau In the pust. 80 that we shail know what we will require. Lhe advices from the United States still conzinue very favorable, Iheir crop wili be very large, though less than in 1891. The Americans wili be the arbltrators of the prices this year, and doubtless will try to get as much us possible for their sur- plus. The farmers are masters of the situation this year if they sell at stated intervals, instead of rushiog their grain la a lomp, and will profit by better prices. = As regards reducing the duty, it Is a serious question, for the farming ciass have suffered 50 much the past few years that they ure entitled to some consideration. At the same time Lhe price of bread would no: be apt 1o go lower, as the exporting countries would take aavantage of the differe. ce lu duiies to Increase their prices. Besides the importing of at least 60,000,000 busnels will add 140,000,000 francs to the bucget, not unwelcome Jictle plum.” It will be noted Lhat they lay great stress on the enormous reported American crop and the large surplus thus to spare, thanks to the exaggerated crup reports of some of our trade journals.
