WHEAT SITUATION.
Not Very Large Surplus Left in the
United States.

The Portland Oregonian says:
Too much rain IN Kansas, an insult
fieieney in Dakota and the Hessian
fly and the chinch bug preparing
for an active campaign in the mid
die west have served to offset all of
the bearishness Of the May govern
ment report on the wheat crop, and
in spite of slight weakness at the
close yesterday, quotations are near
the top for the season. The wheat
market at the present time is more
at the mercy of the weather than
at any other period, but there is
another factor of great importa nee
in the situation at this time, and
that is the certainty that the United
States will have reserves down to a
very low ebb by the time the new
crop is ready for harvest. Although
exports for the season to date have.
fallen much below those for cor
responding date last year, they are
still quite heavy, and with the Eu-
ropean market in it's present condi-
ton will continue so up to the end
of the season.
Statistics are usually dry reading,
but those touching on the 1902
wheat crop and its distribution are
particularly interesting at this
time, when undue influence is apt
to be credited to the coming crop,
which as yet is a very uncertain
factor. The crop Of 1902 is gener-
ally placed at 670,0O0000 bushels,
though some excellent trade au-
thorities make it 100000 bush
els less. With the consumption at
al bushels per capita, and making
no allowance for feeding to stock,
3S0,00,000 bushels will be required
by the American people. The ship
ments to foreign countries for the
first nine months of the season were
(iour included 161 oil, 94S bush
els, or about 100000 bushels less
than for the same period last sea-
son. If the same ratio is main
tanned for the remainder of the
season, and shipments now indi-
cate that there will be no decline.
exports for the twelve months end
ing June 80 will reach a total of
201 100000 bushels. The amount
required for seed for the 1902 crop
was given out by the government
as 100000 bushels. This year
there is an increase in winter wheat
acreage alone of 100000, SO that
1t ls probable that at least S0,000,-
900 bushels were used for seeding
and reseeding
The amount thus required for ex-
port, home consumption and seed
ing reach total of 660,0OO,OOO
bushels, or within 100000 bush
els of the total crop. Naturally,
this 100000 does not represent
all af the wheat that will remain in
the country. If it did dollar wheat
would be cheap before the new crop
arrives, but it serves to show that
crop which is a very close third
to the largest on record has been
reduced to remarkably small pro-
portions, with the export demand
below the average. The crop of
1901 was the largest on record,
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1903-05-23

amounting 10 f4o,VVo;OVV DuouclS,
and of this amount 234,000y000
bushels were exported, and after
providing for feed and home con
sumption there remained carry
over of 100000 bushels. Con-
sidering the size of the crop, there
was nothing depressing in the di-
mansions of this surplus from the
1901 crop, and last year at this
time the July option in Chicago
sold up up to 764 cents, or 3 cents
higher than the highest point
reached this year.
There is always considerable
amount of wheat held over from
season to season by well-to-do
farmers, regardless of prices. This
was particularly noticeable in the
spring of 1898, when Letter forced
wheat up above 81 per bushel. 1t
is impossible to ascertain just what
proportion of the crop is held over
under the circumstances, but in
Oregon alone it amounted to sew
eral hundred thousand bushels dur
ing the Letter year. 1t is accord
ingly reasonable to suppose the
class of farmers who are not moved
to sell when wheat touches dollar
will be still more averse to selling
at present comparatively low prices,
as they are more indie
dendent financially than they have
been at any period in the last ten
years. These holdings will take
care of a considerable portion of
the theoretical" surplus of the
1901 crop.
The term theoretical" is used
advisedly, for while a reduction for
home consumption, seeding and ex-
ports from the 748,000,000 bushel
crop of that year, would still leave
nominally 100000 bushels, some
of this has undoubtedly been used
for fleeing stock, destroyed by fires
or in other ways eliminated from
the situation. Admitting, however,
that it was all on hand, this coun-
try would still be in a very strong
position if anything should happen
to cut the growing crop down so
that the out-turn should fall below
that of the phenomenal yield of the
past two years. A record breaking
crop in 1901, followed by one nearly
as large last year, has not served to
pile up any heavy reserve of wheat
in this country. A crop like that
of 1899 or 1900 would this year
cause more general scraping of
bins than has been noticeable since
the spring of 1898.

snne-Stition About Cats.

In the Monferrato it is believed that
all the cats who wander about upon
the roofs during the month of Febru-
ary are really witches, whom 1T is law
full and even necessary to shoot.
German superstition has it that if a
black cat sits upon the bed of sick
man it is a presage of his death, while
if after his decease it is seen upon his
grave it is enough to arouse doubts as
to the locality to which his soul has
departed. In Hungary it is thought
that cats generally become witches be-
tween the ages of seven and twelve
years. A French belief concerning the
cat is that if the animal be carried III
n cart and the wind blow from 1T to
the horses they immediately fall tired
If any part of the horseman's clothing
