milling purposes owing 90 the demand from
the -four mills and the scarcity Of the CEREAL
in the West There Is scarcity Of soft Nln
ter wheat 10 nearly every section OF the caun
try save near Baltimore, which explains the
demand for supplies from this section. There I
are reports that mslor portion OF the West
eru wheat Is ia bad shape and we're !, not for
the prevalence Of gaTGc in all Southern wheat (
the South would noW be supplying nearly all
the cereal used in the Touring mills. The
FIRST shipment OF Baltimore wheat West was
made about tao weeks ago. when 1000 bushels
were sent 90 Cincinnati by The Canton Export
Company. Since that time about 80, coo more
bushels have been shipped West by the same
company. On Tuesday another cargo Was
