16 Th Ntwi-Review, Roseburg, Or. Frl., Aug. 5, 1949 Prices Of Wheat Due For Advance, Federal Opinion WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. UP The Aft'lculture department pre dicts wheat prices will advance gradually after the summer peak In market movement. The advance, the department said, should take prices to or slightly above the level at which th. government Is making price supporting loans. That level aver ages about $1.95 a bushel at the farm. Prices of winter wheat at the present were said to be running around 20 cents a bushel below the loan rate. In the period of heavy market movements of win ter wheat last month, prices drop ped as much as 35 cents a bushel below the support rate. The low point last year was about 18 cents under the loan. The price of spring wheat, on the other hand, is still above loan rates for that class, largely be cause new crop supplies are not yet available In any quantity. The department said U. S. wheat supplies for the 1949-50 sea son ai now estimated at 1,482. 000,000 bushels. Only In 1942 and 1943 were supplies significantly greater. It said domestic use may total about 700,000.000 bushels. That would leave 780,000,000 available for export and reserves. If ex ports total 450,000,000 bushels, the carryover reserve on July 1, 1950, would be about 330,000,000 com pared with 293,000,000 on July 1 this year. In the 1948-49 season, domestic use totaled 691,000.000 bushels and exports 501,000.000. The department said Indications continue to point to a 1949 bread grain crop in Europe, excluding Russia, of about 5 per cent below the 1948 level and 10 per cent be low the 1935-39 average, borne In crease is expected in the Soviet Union as compared with last year, when production was 17 per cent Delow prewar.
