and notably No. / Northern for ship
mcnt by lake and canal. AS prcvi
ously mentioned. shipments thus far
from Duluth via lake have been heavy,
and stocks there in the past week
have diminished by 1000, 600 bushels.
No doubt much of this wheat will
soon be delivered TO Eastern millcrs
or to exporters, and there will be "a
heavy decrease in the visible supply
During the week advices from Duluth
suggested that further large quaint
ties had been contracted for by export
ers. Some authorities estimate the
total booked recently at more than
100000 bushels. In addition, it was
stated that some hard winter wheat
had been bought. partly for shipment
via Lakes and partly via Gulf ports,
and consequently il is reasonable to
expect heavy exports from this coast
during the next month or six weeks.
Duluth and Buenos Ayrcs.
1T is by no means surprising that
Duluth has been able to sell so extern
svcly, as May contracts in that mar
ket are more than 6 cents less than
May in Buenos Ayres. Furthermore,
there is no important difference In
freight charges between the two mar
kets and Europe. notwithstanding the
facts described, IL decided advance was
soon checked by favorable domestic in
fluences. Advices from winter wheat
territory have been satisfactory. cspc-
cially from the Southwest, where ben
eficial rains have fallen. The Kansas
State report was exceedingly satsfac-
tory, the condition being placed at SO. 6
and the area at 100000 acres, only j
per cent OF the area seeded having
been abandoned. This would suggest a
probable crop, barring accidents, of
close to 12O,00O000 bushels. against
50, 100000 bushels harvested last year
According to the Modern Miller report
the previous high conditions have been
well maintained. few adverse reports
having been received. The plant shows
good growth and is making seasonable
progress. This is gratifying. in view
of the prospective large requirements
OF Europe. Spring wheat seeding has
made fair progress in South Dakota and
Southern Minnesota, but in North Da-

been some delay, owing to the compar-
