GRAIN MOVEMENT LIGHT.
But the Inspection Department An
ticipates n Big Increase.

The grain inspection department Of the
state Is beginning to feel the tall move
ment OF wheat, which has commenced,
though the amount moving is yet COM
paratively small. Chief Inspector Reishus
said yesterday that so far this year the
movement of grain has been considerably
lighter than for the corresponding period
last year. In Minneapolis. where a year
ago receipts were averaging 300 cars per
day, this years receipts show only about
Is per cent Of that amount.
The inspection department anticipates
a heavy business, beginning about the
last of the month and continuing until
cold weather The total yield of the
Northwest will be less than last year
and the amount of wheat marketed cor
respondingly decreased, but conditions
are said to be such that during the busy
season the daily receipts in Minneapolis.
ST. Paul and at the head of the lakes will
average almost as much as last year. Adj
vices from the Dakotas and Montana in
dictate that farmers have held a large
amount of wheat through the winter.
which will be placed on the market and
will have the effect of making the ap-
parent decrease in the supply very slight.
