It has been a self- evident proposition for several weeks, past that conditions warranted higher values. Speculative influences have repeatedly driven prices downward. bu‘. the market has rebounded with the buoyancy of a cork upon the water. The news announcements of the week have been uniformly favorable to high er values Crop advices at home indi cate less than an average acreage seeded to winter wheat, owing to the pro tracted drought, whioh has been broken only in certain sections of the winter wheat belt. Receipts at primary points are fallingoff and promise from this oa to prove smaller than last year. Ex port clearances continue large, 5,991,- 900 bushels for the week, which is largely in excess of our exportable sur plus weekly. The export demand shows no signs of diminution. On the con trary, it is urgent and increasing, the last few days of the week having ro- sulted in very large sales for export. Foreign advices continue extremely bullish. The reports of our own con suls in Europe more than confirm the maximum estimates of European im port requirements. Advices from Lon don assert '.hat Mediterranean ports ore outbidding England for Russian wheat. The French chamber of deputies has been petitioned to reduse the import duty on wheat, and some action in this direction will probably be taken sooner or later, although not necessarily at present, Russian advices, although al ways unreliable and largely mythical, are extremely bnllisli and must neces sarily have some foundation on fact. The Argentine crop is still an unknown quantity. Reports are conflicting. Drought conditions have prevailed. Locusts have caused some damage, and in the nbsence of reliable reports it can not be assumed that the crop will be a large one in yield. Local speculative conditions are extremely favorable for higher values. Stocks on contract grain are very small, practically exhausted, and there is no immediate prospect of their being replenished. We oan dis cover nothing in the situation at horns or abroad warranting any declines in values, anil would regnrd any decline sa but temporary, unwarranted, and therefore a good speculative opportun ity to buy wheat, the final outcome of which we auiticipate to be much higher prices.
