The Wheat Question.
The vlolslstudes of the foreign market will
not1 have much ellect on the Oregon market
for broadstufl's the present spring, tor tho
reason that the time has passed to make
shipments of cargoes to reach Kurope before
the next harvest, and It is only In caso that
there Is an unfortunate condition of the
grooving crops of those countries, on which
tn predicate strong fears of a failure and
j;e reason for a firm advance, that we can
fceatfected at the present or early future bv
foreign quotations. It is hardly proDable
that any suoh prophecy of failure can take
place.
Our natural demand lor the next four
months, will come Irom the millers of this
State aid California, and as tlmv mint
evidently depend on being able to purchase !
the'private stocks which forehanded farmers '
JicKl In their own grannrles. it is nrnlubln
that wheat will continue at a fair price, and I
a demand arise for all the remaining stock our
farmers will have to offer. It Is true that '
Oregon does not promise to equal In the next
harvest the crop of last year, but we must
remonibor that California will more than
dotiblo hor surplus of last yfar, so that In
any event we may expect active competition
ifortonnago and that high freights will rule.
Wedoubt if In view of those facts any
mancmi afford to hold wheat over the next
harvest.
