Wheat and Other Grains

Wheat-It holiday in Chicago. Liver
pool futures were higher. The San Francisco
market remained before. As northern -four
is selling here at below the parity of wheat
and as it is arriving in liberal quantities. the
mllers are accordingly deferred from buying
wheat, especially as sellers views are above
theirs.
A brokers' wire from Chicago yesterday said:
Europe has had her feast of wheat from south
OF the equator, has practically consumed it, and
Is now anxiously looking around to see where
supplies are to come from until the home har-
vests of 1909 are ready. Australia and Argen-
una have let up in their heavy shipments and
the very best advices from agents In those coun-
tries Indicate that from this time on the sun
pies Will be very light Proctor OF Liverpool is
authority for the statement that both the coun-
tries named will not average more than 800 OeO
pean crop year. 1t looks at this writing as If
toba and durum wheat as has been the case for

other side will be forced TO come to our United
States markets for breadstuffs to relieve their
