CARR'S TRADE LETTER
Spring Wheat Shippers Are Getting
Busy And the "Farmer" House
Gets them Fancy Prices--
Trade Has A Heavy Load to
Carry--- Corn and Oats
Prices Are In Doubt.

There has been a heroic effort made
for a few days past to start bull
market in wheat and establish better
prices. The result of all this effort has
been an upturn OF only &c from the ex-
treme low point and half of this grain
lost in two hours time under renewed
selling pressure. There are a few bear
ish features developing in wheat which
no one could anticipate earlier. IL was
expected that on basis of zoe tor Sep
tember wheat in Chicago all Europe
would be laying in supplies because
of the low price and the fine quality
OF the grain. 1t now appears that
Europe has raised larger amount of
wheat than it was thought posi- bic
before the harvest began. This t.
gether with the fact that the large
surplus on this side has been so ex-
tensIvely advertised makes the foreign
buyers very indifferent. Another equal
ly important feature is the fine progress
which has been made in harvesting
the big spring wheat crop in the
northwest. All rumors of damage
from whatever cause have proved
groundless and today the greater part
of the wheat in the three big north
west states is cut and hai vest is about
to begin over a large portion of Mani
toba. A very careful banking au-
thoriety Issued its annual figures on
grain yields today and places the total
wheat at 10, 900, 900 bu. more than the
Washington report of August 10. The
only encouraging features for buyers
has been the sharp falling off in win
ter wheat receipts here and at the
southwest markets This can not off
set the bearish influence of a tree
movement of the new spring wheat
crop. Our own house has had the
earliest spring wheat receipts and
they have brought from &c to &c
over the September price. We feel
that low prices should encourage
farmers to make dlect shipments to
obtain all there is in 1t. There are
some enthusiastic bears In the oats
trade who are predicting decline in
the May price to 3Oc They hardly
believe their own words as a decline
Of cent or two from the present pIiC 9
will put oats on a basis where capital
will take hold and prices Will be like
ly to recover quickly after the early
run from the good harvest northwest
is over.
