Crop Prospects
From Seattle to New York Via Northwest Passage
Just Fair
For Big Crop
Crop developments remained an
outstanding feature in the gener
al situation although large re
maining stocks of old wheat con
tributed to the weakness both in
domestic and foreign markets. A
United States wheat crop of 716<
655,000 bushels was indicated by
conditions at the first of July. Pro
duction of winter wheat was esti
mated at 537,767,000 bushels and
spring wheat, including durum, at
178,888,000 bushels. Durum pro
duction was estimated at 30,890,-
OOff bushels compared with 40/145,-
000 bushels harvested in 1938.
Total production of spring wheat
last season was 244,164,000 bush
els harvested from an acreage 20
percent larger than remains for
harvest this season.- Spring wheat
prospects in the Canadian Prairie
Provinces continued very favor
able with warm bright weather
hastening growth and providing
ideal conditions following the good
start obtained in June. A consid
erable part of the crop was head
ing at the middle of July with no.
extensive damage reported. Light
yields however, were in prospect
in south eastern Saskatchewan and
the Peace River area of Alberta.
No important chapges were re
ported in European prospects. The
International Institute forecast a
European crop of 1,640,000,000
bushels this season or about 200,-
000,000 bushels below the unusual
ly large crop of 1938. North Afri
can crops are materally larger
than last season but outturns in
Russia are still uncertain. Recent
mild weather caused «.xcessive
growth of new wheat in Argentina
but the weather turned colder dur
ing the week! The new crop is re
ported mostly in favorable condi
tion in Australia.
Complete data are not available
on world carryover of-old wheat
but stocks are relatively heavy.
Farm stocks of old wheat in the
United States at the first of July
were estimated at 90,838,000 bush
els compared with 59,113,000 bush
els on July 1 1938. Market stocks
of old wheat totalled approximate
ly 67/500,000 bushels againt 22,-
190,000 buhels in store a year ago.
Stocks of wheat in Canada a»*;
about 100 million bushels larger
