THE CHRONICLE.

24,1868.]

When navigation opens, a large
amount of grain is of necessity crowded upon our markets.
The Western banks are no longer willing to help the dealers
in carrying their stocks, for the mercantile interest then
comes in with large claims for accommodation ; so that there
is no course for the holders of grain but to realise precipi¬
tately upon their hoards; and, considering the large amouut
of grain to be sold within the three months before the
marketing of the new crop, it is clear that then the Western
seller is very much at the mercy of the Eastern buyer.

as

It must be further taken into account that the

carrying of
such large stocks involves heavy interest payments, heavy
charges for storage and insurance, and a certain amount of
risk of deterioration or damage to the grain; which act as
another drawback against any extra price that may be
supposed to be obtainable by holding back supplies. At
New ^ork, the grain could be carried through the winter

a
portion of the heavy freight trade of the Western interior

A shorter and cheaper con¬

European markets and the West would,
indeed, create its own traffic, in addition to that already
existing. Whatever reduction is effected in the cost of
transporting grain is so much gained in our ability to com¬
pete with European producers; and cheaper transportation
would therefore insure

an

products abroad. Western expansion is now crippled
by the cost of carrying commodities immense distances at
high prices. Remove this obstacle, and we should witness
an extension of agriculture
unprecedented in that rapidly
developing section. The growth of the West constantly
keeps ahead of the progress of the railroads-; and the result
is that the transportation companies control absolutely the
rates of freight and, by their high charges and frequently
inadequate accommodation, act as a restriction upon the

The convention
that the means of the banks should be

immense stocks of grain. Were a larger strength in favor of a railroad enterprise by which it is pro¬

France.

It is

contemplated to establish a line of steamships to run
between Norfolk and Liverpool, designed to carry the heavy
class of freight brought over the new route, and supplying
the facilities for through shipments from the West to Great
Britain. Here, perhaps, is the weak point in this scheme
for making Norfolk a great port for Western products. For
although it is easily conceivable how the vessels may get
ample outward cargoes, yet it is by no means apparent
where the return cargoes are to come from, seeing that the
Atlantic imports are naturally attracted to the New York
market.
The projectors evidently aim to divert emigration
to that point as a basis of return traffic, and
propose, as an
inducement for emigrants to come by'their vessels, to give
them free transportation from Norfolk to their destination.
The representatives of the connecting railroads promised in
the convention to grant this advantage to settlers coming in
the Norfolk steamers.
They cannot, however, make such a
gratuity without some considerable cost. If the sacrifice
.should induce emigrants to sail for Norfolk in preference to
New York, there would be some compensation to the
roads;
for the profits of the steamers upon the
emigrant trade
would place them in the better position for
cariying freight
cheap ; but if it should fail to attract emigrants, the vessels
would have to charge proportionately higher rates of
freight
which would make against the economy of the route to
Western forwarders. The great earnestness shown by the
West in forwarding this enterprise, as a new outlet for its
products and a source of competition with the Eastern routes?
warrants the expectation that much will be done
by the
merchants of that section to establish trade

good wheat is concerned, however, the variations have not been impor¬

Millers are oper ting with considerable caution, but they Lave

stock at present prices.
The impression seems t) prevail that the
quotations have fallen to the lowest point for the present year, and
consequently millers have no hesitation in buying more produce than
they can immediately consume. The falling off in our importations o*
foreigo wheat, owing to the much less remunerative price that we are
offering, necessarily throws a large consumption on our own crop,
and there is no doubt that wo have already consumed more than an
average quantity of the new wheats during the present season. We
commenced to consume the new crop at a much earlier date, as we had
scarcely any old wheat in the country, and scarcely a bushel of old
produce, the quality of which could be considered fine. The new crop
has therefore been bought freely, but the question has to be con«idered

foreign wheat, be larger than at the close of last season, provided our

restricted scale? Our imports of wheat for Hie season show a fallingeff

cotton, compared with thoee of last year :

the work of picking has
made good progress.
Still it is very difficult as yet to give any definite
idea of the extent of the yield, the views of different parties appearing
to be bo wide apart.
For instance, one correspondent informs us this
week, from New Orleans, that the receipts at that port will certainly
reach 900,0C0 bales, while, on the other hand, the New Orleans Price
Current of last Saturday says “ there is no probability that there will
be any increase” over last year’s total, which was 584,000 bales.
A
pretty safe guide at this period of ordinary seasons for estimates, is the
table of weekly arrivals at the ports.
There are, however, reasons why
they are not now to the same extent a fair indication of the final result
of the crop, the plant having matured earlier, and it being likely that
the bulk of it will be marketed sooner than last year.
Still, even
among those who have all along been making allowance for this fact
the continued largely increased receipts are beginning to excite remark
and to effect estimates.

spring has receded 5 to 7 cents per bushels The lower
quotations from the West ($1 25 for No. 2 spring to-day, at
Chicago) and from Liverpool (9s. lid. per cental), with the
decline in gold, has compelled shippers to reduce their bids
to $1 60 for No. 2.
But shippers have shown no disposition
to accept this price, and, yesterday, 45,000 bushels were
taken on speculation, at $1 04. At to-day’s market there
further speculation and rather more inquiry from millers
aod shippers, who have been doing as little as possible for
lome days, and a good business was done at $1 63@i|l 65

GROCERIES.
Friday Evening, October 23, 1868. 1

Trade has been somewhat

irregular, but without remark¬
activity in aiiy department. The largest business has
been in Rio Coffee, of which about 23,000
bags Lave changed
hands. Sugar ha9 declined a fraction, but with
decreasing
stocks will probably soon recover.
In Tea there has been
very little doing.
Imports of the -week have included average quantities of
the several articles embraced within our report. A
cargo of
Japan Tea (old crop), and one of Java Coffee are the princi¬
pal items of interest aside from the usual receipts of Rio
Coffee and of Sugar and Molasses. Full details of the
imports
at the several ports for the week and since Jan. 1 are
given
below under the respective heads. The totals are as follows:

Business has been

steadily quiet through the week under review. A
Oolongs and Japans from the stock received via
Isthmus from San Francisco, have given a
temporary interest to mat
ters, but both line and invoice trade have, as a general thing, been
heavy. Sales include 1,449 half chests Greens, 615 do Japans, and 3,000
do Oolongs.
In the imports of Tea this week we include
cargo of steamer Dunetan,
from Yokohama, with 448,878 lbs of
Japan, and of iudirect importation,
8,950 packages from England and the Continent by several steamers.
Advices from Hong Kong to August 20th,
by mail, and to Sept. 16,
from Shanghae, by telegraph are given below.
The following table shows the
shipments of Tea from China and
Japan to the United States from June 1, 1868, to August 20, the data
of latest advices by mail; and

sonable range

of prices, affording some hopes of profit to others than
Chinamen, was reached, and the general impression is that the pur¬
chases already made can only result in serious loss.
Other buyers
showed no disposition to follow the example set them, and we may not
hear of any further large settlements for some time to come, as those
now advised will strengthen teamci/e views and induce them
to hold
for still higher prices, until the accumulation of stock, and the pressure
for funds to meet their engagements, obliges them to make considerable
concessions. Buying for England again shows a falling off, and stocks'
are considerably under those at sam-i date last season.
