Wheat-The condition of quiet char
acteristic of the spot situation con-
tinues the only feature of the situa-
ton. There is practically no business
doing. beyond the making of engage
ments for future delivery, and values
are largely nominal, although blue
stem has shown a further slump to
94c, with club holding al 9Oc, forty
fold at ole and red Russian at SOC.
There have been a few sales of
wheat to Japan for July-August de-
livery, and some parcels will still go
forward by regular liners to Europe.
but there are indications that supplies
will be adequate to meet the require
ments of the situation up to the ad-
cent of the bumper new crop now in
prospect. Developments have contin-
ued favorable in this connection, for
the weather has been ideal for giving
root to the splendid stand of winter
wheat, and, with abundance of mois-
ture in the ground, the situation is
propitious for bringing it to maturity.
The movement of wheat to tide
water is holding restricted. The total
receipts at Pacific northwest terminals
for April were 1,144 cars, of which
SOB cars came to Tacoma, 400 cars to
Portland, and 241 cars to Seattle. For
the season up to May 1, Portland had
1921 cars, Tacoma 1858
cars, and Seattle GALA cars. Local
receipts for the week were 1T cars
wheat, 6 oats, 43 barley and 78 rye.
Flour-Business continues to hold
quiet. Beyond a few sales to west
coast ports, there is nothing doing
on export account although consider
able flour is still going forward to the
orient on old contracts. Patents are
moving about seasonably. Export
values continue relatively nominal at
$3.50 for club straights and $500 for
bluestem cutoffs.
Feed-The situation continues sea-
sonable, with no changes for the
week, except in feed wheat, which has
declined 81, to $31@32 per ton. Oats
are just steady at $25@26, with bar
ley at $25. Hay is easy, but quoting
at the recent declines.
