local values have been somewhat
more strongly maintained than has
been the case with quotations gener.
ally. and bluestem Is 1c higher at 99c,
with club at sec, and fortyfold at 9Oc.
This development is largely attribu'
table to the expansion In business that
has been worked for Japan since the
announcement OF the reduction In
grain freight rates to trans-pacifc
points. The sales, which aggregate
in the neighborhood Of 10000 tons
have had the effect Of wiping out sur
plus holdings to such an extent that
holders are inclined to take an Opt,
mistic view Of the situation and de
many further enhancement before
making additional sales. The general
position Of this cereal, on the other
hand, based upon export requirements
is showing some depression. Europe
has been tinding that its requirements
were more adequately provided fol
than had been anticipated. Argen'
tina and Australia have been liberal
contributors to supplies. and the tone
Of the situation is correspondingly
