S. bureau of agricultural economics. While prices of hard winter wheat reached a parity with those in other exporting countries, export sales were negligible and domestic mills fur nished practically the only outlet for current offerings, which were near the lowest point of the season to date, Corn and oats were weaker with wheat. Barley was again indepen dently firm and prices held about uo- cnangea. uye also tx&a some inde pendent strength, but flax worked lower with wheat. Crop developments and the rat of disappearance of the world's wheat surplus remained the dominant fac tors in the general wheat market situation. Recent freezes set back the domestic wheat crop in some areas, but the actual damage Is still un certain. In Western Kansas much of the wheat was frozen down and soil blowing was also harmful. The con dition of the winter wheat dropped 3 points to 80 per cent in Nebraska. with an estimated abandonment of 123 per cent, according to the mid month report. About 16.967,000 acres' of spring wheat other than Durum will be seeded this season if farmers carry out their Intentions reported as of March 1. This represents an Increase of about 5 per cent over the acreage seeded in the spring of 1931 and of o3J3 per cent over the acreage har vested last season, when dry weather caused an unusually heavy abandon ment of spring wheat. Durum wheat seedtngs In 1932 will total 3368.000 acres if farmers carry out their March 1 intentions. inis is booui x per cent less than the acreage sown last Industry "V spring, but represents an Increase of "XatinehJ nerally increased' 343 per cent over the acreage har- Yn of chl ii the aTt vested last season.

Preparations for new crop seeding increased with soil conditions reported excellent. No export sales of ettner wneat or nour were reported for the week, but local mills continued to take small amounts.
