THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1920 2t COAST MILLS IT UCFI UHLLIUU 1 WHEAT Demand From All Quarters Has Subsided. FARMERS WANT TO SELL Taeoma , Spokane 1,074.431 1.389,9X7 T9.!".03 1:85.354 Coarse Grain Markets Are Slow. Corn Is Steady and Sacked Oats Weaker. With the ubsldr.nre of the eastern de mand for -wheat, buying for account of coast mills baa also fallen off. Dealers yesterday found it almost impossible to In tel est buyers either here or on the sound at the recent prices, as mills at both places are carrying liberal supplies of wheat. Because of the slacking up of trade, farmers who recently held out are showing more disposition to find a mar ket. At Minneapolis yesterday cash wheat was quoted & cents higher. Only about 40,000.000 bushels of Can ada's exportable 100,000.000 bushels of the 1919 wheat crop have been shipped across the Atlantic so far. according to H. W. Woods, the Alberta member of the domin ion wheat board. Mr. Wool states that with the American market open, obviously a good deal of Canadian wheat will find its ar across the international border, ana ma the trans-Atlantic shipments will be itrt accordingly. It may reasonably be as sumed that the opening of the American market will add from $8,000,000 to $10. 000,000 to the Canadian farmers' receipts for their 3!M9 wheat above wtoat they would have obtained before the embargo was lifted, Mr. Wood says. Tho loal coarse grain market was slow. Corn was steady and 23u0c higher on bid at the Merchants' Exchange. Sacked oats bids were reduced 50c. There was no demand for northwestern barley, and bids' for eastern barley were reduced to 68S8.50. Very few sales of grain bags have been reported lately. The market is nominal at about 11 cents. Weather conditions in the middle west, as wired from Chicago: "Northern Illinois sleeting' and cold. All othors in grain belt cloudy and cold. Forecast All fair and cold weather predicted."

Bakers are using United States grain corporation "standard pure wheat flour" In propor tions of from 23 per cent to 40 per cent in mixtures and maintaining their quality of bread at a very substantial saving in cost. "In regard to placing of the govern ment flour in the hands of small con sumers, the grain corporation programme is meeting with much greater success than was at first anticipated. Orders are being doptluated more rapidly than they can be filled. Housewives in all parts of the country are writing to Wheat Director Barnes, who inaugurated the flour sale as a direct attack on the high cost of living expressing their satisfaction at be ing able to purchase such a good flour at such a reasonable price." The Portland office of the grain corpo ration makes the following announce ment: This grade of flour Is being quoted in less than carload lots by Pacific coast mills In cotton quarters at a range of price from $10.53 per barrel to $10.7O, and bv many of the Interior mills at less prices. and on the usual trade terms. Any pur- chrser unable to obtain a supply will be placed In touch, by the local office of the grain corporation, with the nearest avail able mill. The grain corporation is pre pared to sell direct in carload lots at $10.23 per barrel in 140-pound jutes, freight pre paid, to any railroad station In the tone, draft attached."
