receipts OF WneaC, as c0inpdrtU Will
those of 1872. show decline of over
a million of centals. those Of flour show
gain of nearly 10000 bbls, which,
when reduced to wheat. shows a total
falling off Of only 700. 600 centals, GER

it. Our exports during tine same COM

d icing in both cases flour to wheat) of
only 40, 800 centals. as We have certain
" 2,500,000 centals left in the State |
available Tor export, it is evident that
the crop Of 1928 was much larger |
than was estimated, and that with the
balance carried over from last season,
and the amount received from Oregon.
we had a surplus OF certainly 100000
tons for export. In this light, too, it
| is plain that
WHEAT AND FREIGlITS
Have not sustained their proper rela-
tions, and that while the former has
ruled 700 high, the latter have been
unjustifiably depressed. Included III
the receipts of wheat given above, are
some 5000 tons received from Utah by
the Central Pacific Railroad, the char
acter of which, on the whole, was sat
istactory. From the neighhoring State
of Oregon we have received, during
the six months. 275.4S5 centals of
wheat, and As. .47 bbls Of tlour,against
40 centa;s and 81, ,270 bbls received dur
Ing the corresponding period of last
year. The wheat crop of Oregon was
an unusually bountitnl one this year,
and the exports from the Columbia
river will show larger volume than
was ever attained before, During the
period under review
THE FLOUR MARKET
Has been very active, and marked BY
a strong demand for export. The most
remarkable feature in this has been the
demand for Great Britain. to which
country we have shipped 233, 900 bbls.
and will probably send 10000 bbls
, more before the season is out. This
result has been brought about by the
, greater relative cheapness of flour to
I wheat. 1t is too early yet to SLY how
! these shipments Nill turn out, but as
} the flour exported has all been OF high
+ grade, and as great care has been taken
! IN shipping it, we have hopes that it
! will meet with favor. and realize fully
the anticipations OF the shippers.

THE PRINCIPAL CALL FOR TONNAGE

: however, was III great measure du'
