ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF
CEREALS IB WORLD
No Shortage Likely to Arise
During Present Season.
SURPLUS FROM LAST YEAR
Importing
More and
Countries Producing
Exporters Will Have
Large Quantities to Ship.
Art art'e-cjuate -world's cereal supplr i In
dicated by statistics Ratherer! by the In
ternational Institute of agricnHure. This
Information Is opportune, coming at a
time when the question of the worM's
grain supply la of surpassing Interest in
every country.
There were on April 1 of this year, ac
ordlng to the institute. 1.VO00,nO0 quin
tals of wheat and rye available for ship
ment from exporting countries. A quintal
equals 220.46 pounds. Of this quantity
60.000,000 were In North America. 32.000,
OOO In South America and 13.000.000 In
AutrtraJla. The importing countries are
ehown to require between April 1 and the
periods of their respective harvests 81.000,
000 quintals. The stocks at that date were
consequently sufficient not only to sup
pty all requirements up to harvest time
In th northern hemisphere, but also to
leave, a surplus available In the coming
season. According to the figures first
quoted, this surplus should be 24.000.OO0
quintals on August 1, but It may have been
ven larger In the probable event of insuf
ficient means of transporting the whole
81,000.000 quintals within the limits of
the four closing months of the past Beason.
As for production in the new season,
th generally favorable character of the
summer points to a good harvest In the
Importing countries of Europe. If the
present promise is realized, it may be as
sumed that the aggregate requirements
f the large importers will be appreciablj
leas than In the past year.
It is doubtful whether Roumairla, form
erly an exporter, can do anything material
toward the worrd's supply this season, ow
ing to the seriously reduced area sown last
autumn. As regards Russia, there are no
means of forming a definite opinion. Brit
ish India has had a larger crop than last
year, and even over average. It therefore
seems probable that exports will recom
mence this season after their suspension
The United States expects a crop falling
short of 1910, but above the average of
pre-war seasons. The Canadian Crop is
doing well and the yield may be consider
ably larger than last year's.
Taking Into account the old-crop stocks
remaining on hand at the opening- of the
new season, it may be assumed that the
available exportable surplus of wheat and
rye from North America during the season
JD20-2t will be greater than the quantity
axported in the past season.
The outlook for the year, says the Insti
tute, may therefore be summarized, so far
as the present situation Indicates, as one
which does not Justify any serious anxiety,
either with respect to the needs of the
importers, or to the extent of available
supplies in the exporting countries.
WHEAT BIDS GENERALLY HIGHER
September Shipment Corn Sells at One
Dollar Decline.
Continued quiet conditions were reported
tn the northwestern wheat markets yes
terday, yet prices were firm and bids were
jrenerally higher at the Merchants Ex
change. September offers were advanced
ona cent on hard white, soft white and
red "Walla, 2 cents on white club and 3
cents on northern spring. Hard winter
Was the same as Thursday.
One hundred tons of bulk corn, Septem
ber shipment, were sold at S62.30, a de
cline of tl from the last bid of the pre
ceding day. September gray oats were
tl( cents lower and other coarse grains un
changed. Clement Curtis says the United States
las only 180.000.000 bushels of wheat for
export this season versus 220.000,000 bush
sis exported last year. The crop and
carry-over Is 873.000,000 bushels, a loss of
110.000.000 bushels from last season. Can
ada Is expected to furnish 170.000.000 bush
els of wheat. The crop outloko in Argen
tina Is not bright. The prospects of close
marketing of wheat are evident.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

Renewed Activity of Pools In In
dustrial Issues; Liberty Bonds
11 Continue Firm.
NEW YORK, Sept, 3. The approaching
protracted holiday left Its imprint upon
the stock market today, dealings falling
away to a marked extent during the fore
noon, when traders were most intent upon
converting their profits into cash.
Bears evinced little disposition to extend
their commitments in spite of these
maneuvers, developments of the session,
particularly the greater ease of money
and impending gold imports, offering lit
tle inducement to the short account.
Rails forfeited little o-f their recent ad
vance, but yielded in- prominence to fa
vorites of the industrial division. These
Included food, chemical, paper and metal
issues, in which some gains assumed sub
stantial dimensions and denoted the re
newed activity of pools.
Coppers were more responsive to reports
of prospective sales for exports, but steels
and equipments shaded with specialties
at the close. Sales 650.000 shares.
A 7 per cent opening rate for call loans
running into next week and a later quota
tion of 6 per cent testified to the further
relaxation of money.
Buying of railroad bowSs continued, with
firmness in liberty issues and the foreign
group, especially United Kingdoms of 1037.
Total sales, par value, 90,750,000. Old
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

WOOL MARKET OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
Resumption of Operations By American
Woolen Company on September 13
BOSTON. Sept. 3. The Commercial Bul
letin tomorrow Vill say:
The outlook for the wool market is
considered by many in the trade to be a
little brighter as a result of the announce
ment of resumption by the American
Woolen company, September 13, and the
continued strength at the London colonial
wool auctions. Rather more interest has
been shown in the market here also, but
at low prices.
"The foreign primary markets are of
fering some low-priced wools and a little
wool is moving from the west on sale, as
well as consignment."

CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE INCREASED
Sentiment Strengthened By Price Deliv
eries and Transportation Improvement.
New York, Sept. 3. Dunn's Review to
morrow will say:
Without the stimulus of general busi
ness revival, confidence has increased and
the future is ' more favorably regarded.
Sentiment is susceptible to quick fluctua
tion in the present readjustment period,
being responsive to day-to-day develop
ments, but the fundamental situation has
been strengthened by the price yielding
and the improvement ia transportation.
While commercial reverses remain at
the higher level recently established, as
the August failures attest, there i an ab
sence of the serious unsettlement of which
some people had been apprehensive and
the outlook seems more reassuring: as the
weak spots are steadily reduced.
Reasons for conservative action, how
ever, have not disappeared and the policy
of leading interests remains ont of hold
ing commitments within the limits of
safety and of avoiding undue speculative
risks. Divergence of opinion concerning
prices, although not reflecting doubt as to
the current movement of most commodi
ties, tends to restrict operations, many
buyers and sellers being apart in their
views and demands for further wage in
creases have complicated conditions in
some industries.

WHEAT GAINS NOT HELD
EXTREME ADVANCE OF MORE
THAX 6 CENTS AT CHICAGO.
Tone at Close of Market Is Unset
tled Bullish Estimate or Ex
portable Surplus.
CHICAGO. Sept. S. Wheat ran up
swiftly in price today but most of the
grain was not held. Bullish estimates of
the amount of wheat available for export
were chiefly responsible for the show of
strength. The close was unsettled c
to lc net higher with December $2.41
lB.4i and March S2.37 Sr2.37 . Corn
finished c to 1 Vi c down, oats off c
to c and provisions unchanged to a
rise of lie.
Buying orders in the whea market
found the pit bare of sellers until values
had jumped more than 6 cents a bushel
for the December delivery. Meanwhile.
attention focused on statements from a
leading authority indicating that the sur
plus supply in the United States waa 110.-
00O.000 bushels less than last season. Ad
vices that rain was urgently needed in
Argentina counted Also as a decided bull
ish factor.
Corn sympathized with the advance in
wheat.
Oats were governed by the action of
corn.
Prorlsioni averaged higher.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Overbeck A Cooke company of
Portland said:
Wheat Scattered selling orders were
readily absorbed immediately after the
opening; and the market then advanced
6 to 7 cents in about as much time as It
takes to tell it- The basis of the advance
was the publication of varioua estimates
on the exportable surplus, most of which
were suggestive of a deficiency by next
year. A little later in the day the market
was sublect to reverse influences, includ
ing a disinclination on the part of export
ers to follow the advance and a lagging
tendency in the local cash market as com
pared with the futures. Minneapolis also
reported shortly before the close a sharp
reduction In the premiums being bid for
wheat. There is no doubt but that a tre
mendous export business has been done,
which must have a strengthening influence
on the market despite day-to-day develop
ments, which might be conductive to tem
porary recessions.
Corn Higher prices were established
shortly after the opening, accompanied by
a resumption of the short covering which
featured yesterday's session. After this
advance the general news took on a little
difterent color. The market eased on sell
ing induced by the weakness in wheat and
the decline In cash corn in the local spot
market. There was only one buyer to take
the day's offerings and all grades sold from
3 to 4 cents lower than yesterday's close.
The premium over September has been
sharply reduced during the past week and
with the movement Bteadliy -increasing
there is less apprehension apparent among
shorts in the September delivery. The de
ferred months, however, are sublect to
crop Indications, and as the outcome of
the new crpp Is decidedly uncertain, we do
not look for much decline in December or
May corn.
Oats Aside from rather persistent sell
ing by cash houses tu the form of hedges,
the market for this cereal was bare of
features and followed the general trend of
other grains.
Provisions Market averaged small and
without special feature, aside from the
appearance of some support In lard, which
was thought to be against cash lard.
