Wheat-The market is occupying a
comparatively strong position. There
has been no actual change in price,
bluestem holding at CSC, with club at
SSc, and forty-fold at soc, but little
more business has been done. Japan
ese buyers, who have been nibbling
for some little time, have closed few
contracts for forward delivery, since
the announcement of the cut in freight
rates, to be put into effect by trans
pacific steamship lines on June l, and
it is probable that the bulk of the sur
plus from last seasons harvest can
be disposed of advantageously, with
this new source of demand, coupled
with a continuation of moderate ship
ments on departing European liners
One of the vessels to get out for this
destination has been sent to Portland
to take on a part cargo there, though
it is probable that some wheat will bt
shipped from the Sound. California
while not buying extensively, is still
taking some wheat, and the genera
undertone of the situation is one o
relative firmness.
The crop outlook is reported as sat
isfactory for the Pacific Northwest
there being no untoward development
to indicate that the increased acreag
will not be accompanied by a ful
normal yield. California advices, o.
the other hand, show that both tn
wheat and barley crops are short, an
. that there will be an increased ca
J.; upon the North Pacific states to max
up the deficit.
