THE GRAIN MARKET.

OF late the grain market has been
seeking a lower level all along the
line. This is due to several reasons.
Money is not as easy to obtain as be-
fore the stringency and spectators
are not SO much in evidence.
The drop of IA cents in wheat is
due to the fact that we have a surplus
for export, which must complete at
Liverpool with the Argentine crop now
reaching that market at the rate of
from five to eight million bushels per
week. At the present time we are
still about Is cents out of line with
Liverpool. The report of the worlds
visible supply for last week showed
an increase of over four million bush
els. However, there is a growing i'm
preston that the quantity of wheat in
farmers hands mas been over estimat-
ed and our domestic situation is bull
lish. Were it not for the foreign situa-
ton our prices for wheat would adj
vance. Light receipts at ourterminal
markets keep the demand for cash
wheat quite strong, but, while it goes
at a premium over the May, it must
go up or down with that option.
There is some hope that wheat may
take an advance and regain a part of
what it has lost.
Oats are holding up stronger than
other grains. This is due to the poor
quality in general throughout the
northwest and the light crop. The
demand for seed oats will probably
keep the price close to what it is now,
but will not be able to carry it much
higher. At Minneapolis 3 white oats
sell at 49, cents, 3 corna at 55-56 cents,
From this it can readily be seen that
il is not the feed value that is keep
ing up the price of oats.
Barley is a drug on the market
and the best quality sold at Mime
apolis at 81 cents, one car only, and
