wheat to keep US going
Echo CMnnD Milling Company: There

there seems to be no prospect for an
improvement. However, the exchange

nut Prices are too low for much profit
to the miller. We have a good stand of
small grain. The last rain came Just in

pany, Minneapolis: we see no improve
meut in trade. Cannot accept the low
prices that our competitors accept ana
we have been compelled to refuse offers
which would have given US a good bust
ness. We are getting more offers from
the domestic trade thar from foreign"
Red Lake Fails CIinn) Milling Com,
pany The domestic flour trade is dun
Export offers are 10 cents per barrel too
low. The demand for first clear is gCoi
at fair prices. The local demand for feed
is moro than we can supply. The grow
ing wheat is locking fine, but rain is
needed on high ground. We have ne
trouble in getting wheat as we have
line OF ten elevators in connection with
the mill and always carry large stock

port and domestic, Is gradually being
worked lower and lower, while the price
Of wheat remains about the same. One

to equal the present situation The de
mand and price Of millfeed is good /

day MAY % and examined a number
Of fields OF growing wheat and founl
