The feature of the wheat market for
the week was the government report |
the invisible supply to be near
ly 32,0O0,O0O bushels less than at the |
same time last year. With decrease of |
about 12,000,O0O bushels in the visible |
supply, this makes the total available |
supply 100000 bushels less than last |
year, and indicates that there will be |
barely enough to fill requirements until |
the new crop is available. The effect |
on the whole was bullish, which was
by the unsatisfactory pO- |
sition of winter wheat. With large re- |
duction in the export surplus, the pos
sibility that Russia will be Il buyer of |
wheat later is considered to make the
situation very strong indeed.
