average seasons afford and conducive to an 
increased area being seeded. There has been 
no feature in the trade for old native w heats. 
Sound samples of new are three cents per 
bushel dearer. The sales of the week have 
been 59,422 quarters at 31s 8d against 57,795 
quarters at 30s Cd during the corresponding 
period last year. 
The Chief of the National Bureau of 
Statistics reports that the total values of the 
exports of domestic breadstuffs from the 
United States during the month of October, 
1888, and during the four and 10 months ended 
October 31, 1888, as compared with similar 
exports during the corresponding periods of 
the preceding year, were as follows:

Toledo, Ohio, is one of the largest clover 
seed markets in the country. Reports from 
there say clover seed is moving freely, re¬ 
ceipts to date amounting to 55,000 bags against 
35,000 bags at the corresponding date last 
year. The section of the Buckeye State trib¬ 
utary to that market, has been exceptionally 
fortunate in the production of clover seed 
this year, the crop having been larger and 
better than for several years, while in the 
rest of the country there has been a compara¬ 
tive failure. The early receipts at Toledo 
were good, but most of that now arriving 
grades only as No. 2. There is a large shortage 
ju December “prime,” which is the speculative 
grade, and the one taken by exporters. As 
the crop abroad has been short this year, there 
has been a large export demand. Shipments 
from Toledo alone to date have reached 60,000 
bags against 17,000 at the same time a year 
ago. Stocks there have now been reduced to 
10,000 bags—only half as much as a year ago. 
A short time back No. 2 seed was only 15 
cents below “prime,” but owing to the glut, it 
is now a “drug” at 25 cents below. The do¬ 
mestic demand has not yet begun.
