ing OF consequence in the wheat mar
ket. Export sales have been at mini |
mum for considerable time, and
nothing is reported in the way of |
European cargo trade, though the ex-
tent to which Japan has entered into
the situation as consumer of Washing
ton wheat is indicated by the arrival |
at this port of the steamship for loading
full cargo of approximately 1000
tons, the largest single shipment of
wheat ever carried to the orient. Ont
going liners also continue to carry
consignments practically up to their
space limitations, while scattering bust
ness on that account it the only feature
OF note in the disposition of the remain
ing crop holdings. The mills are buy
ing sparingly, though pretty we'll
stocked up for their requirements, while
some business is doing for West Coast
ports, including shipments to San Fran
CISCO
The undertone of the market has
taken on an element of strength sue
ceeding the considerable period of
depression characteristic of November
and the early portion of December.
The statistical position of wheat is
buyers to take little more
interest in the situation, and there
are rather better quotations indicated,
both in advices from abroad and in
speculative markets at home, despite
the fact that the Southern hemisphere
will soon be the dominant source of
with fair average crop.
The conditions are reflected by an
advance in export quotations of 1c per
oushel, bluestem going to s3c and club
