WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY.

In an editorial on the worlds wheat
supply The Minneapolis Tribune
says:
Domestic wheat supplies in the
| terminal markets have been liberal for
| nearly a year. Forced marketing last
fall filled most of the available stor-
age room and the consumptive de-
mand has not been broad enough to
reduce these stocks materially.
The movement of the new winter
wheat crop added to the store with
the result that very heavy carrying
charges have been established. With
the spring wheat harvest finished.
marketing will enlarge in the north
west, suggesting further increases in
the visible supply. The present total
OF 100000 bushels is the largest
since Sept. /, 1907.
The winter wheat farmers, however,
have ceased to sell their remaining
crop freely, Primary receipts are only
Of moderate volume ar the milling
and export trade, while limited, Is
drawing more literally on current sup
plies, indicating that the visible stores
are not likely to increase as freely as
usual between now and the first OF
the year. With the exception OF the
spring wheat area, to use trade
phrase, the show windows are full,
and as domestic prices are not high,
steady normal consumption should
tend to offset the weight of spring
wheat hedges
Abnormal financial conditions in the
fall of 1910 tended TO restrict general
business while forcing the movement
of grain to the terminals. One result
was the large accumulation Of wheat
in excess of the demand. Business in
-four distribution was established on
as conservative basis as other inter-
ests. There has been depletion of
-four stocks under this policy which
insures fairly active market and
the prospect as new crop conditions
become more a factor In the supply
situation, of a broader trade.
There is no speculative imitation in
wheat such as existed a year ago.
The western European situation is not
as acute from supply consideration
as last season, but drought has ex-
acted great damage to foodstuffs other
than wheat and insures large import
requirements. The most available
surplus at this time is in North
America,
