(Offii e of Downtnr, Honkin» <t Co.. Chicago
Board Ol Ti ><■!.• Brolo
711-71 u'hamber of Coui-
uierce Building, Foriiuud, Oregon.)
The interest in wheat has been any­
thing but keen outside the December
deal, prices holding comparatively nar­
row. Taking tiie May delivery, which
is more nearly an index of market val­
ues than is December, the undertone
has been one of comparative firmness,
marked late last week by the good ad­
vance and a subsequent period of un­
certainty.
The world’s news affecting wheat
values has been on the, whole favora­
ble to higher prices.
Public stocks in this country have
not been increased as rapidly as for­
merly; while the world’s shipment to
Western Europe was liberal, they were
made up in great part by clearances of
flour from our own coasts, phenomen­
ally large and highly encouraging. It
is believed the Australian crop will
show only a small exportable surplus,
there are recent reports of purchases
on the Pacific coast for South Africa,
ami the Liverpool Corn News has pub­
lished further statements pointing to
the important shortage in Russia’s sup­
ply of breastuffs and feedstuffs. The
Argentine exportable surplus continues
a matter of uncertainty, and the trade
is less interested than formerly, but of
course will closely watch the movement
as soon as the new crop is ready, now
a matter of only a few weeks. Receipts
of spring wheat in the Northwest con­
tinue large, but it is the time of the
year to expect such. The cash demand
for wheat and flour is fairly good.
The corn market has been a sluggish
affair most of the time for a fortnight
past, prices narrow, interest at a mini­
mum, the undertone one of easiness.
Increased receipts are expected now
that farmers are practically through
husking and shelling, and in the ab­
sence of an urgent shipping demand,
0 inside ing the large offerings, specu­
lative support is lacking. Exports are
fair, but ought to be much greater,
and a large visible supply acts as
something of a weight on values. It is
worthy of note, however, that at exist­
ing low prices a good deal of corn in
the aggregate is being shipped out of
Chicago. With the close of lake navi­
gation liberal quantities will be pur­
chased by speculators, and stored in
the hold of vessels at a low rate for
shipment next spring. The market
has continued to hold ‘close to the 26
