GRAIN REVIEW OF
THE PAST WEEK

Weather conditions in this country
and Canada during the week just clos
ed were not altogether to the liking OF
agricultural interests. Advices from
the Canadian northwest told Of hot,
dry weather causing further deteriora-
ton IN the crop outlook and rains
needed In the western provinces. This
side the international line in the spring
wheat belt hot, dry weather in North
Dakota was somewhat unfavorable,
with considerable damage reported
and rain needed in other states to the
westward. Severe damage from rust
occurred in western Minnesota. Cut
ting IS under way In many districts.
Yield IN the three states estimated
by private authorities at 167, 000,0 900 to
100000 Blu. Oats prospects were al
SO lowered by heat. The week was
rather unfavorable for corn east Of the
Mississippi river though scattered
rains fell In some sections. Drouth Is
still severe in the Ohio valley. Through
the west and northern sections corn
made good advancement. Oats har-
vesting and threshing progressing
northward with complaints of poor
yields In many localities. Winter
wheat harvest Is now about completed
and late reports show yields and quail.
ity excellent.
The movement of grain from the
farms and interior elevators during the
week just closed was enormous in the
aggregate. Receipts at the leading
terminals In the northwest were very
fair. including considerable new winter
wheat, while marketing in the west
and southwest were OF very heavy pro-
portions. Yields reported liberal and
quality excellent. Movement to gulf
Rock Island railroads issued an embar-
go against further wheat shipments to
Galveston; port being blocked. Santa
Fe has 1900 cars of wheat between
Houston and Galveston. Receipts of
coarse grain in the west and southW est
were fair. Locally receipts were un.
usually heavy OF wheat and oats and
moderate Of corn. Shipments eastward
were very large, and arrivals at the
seaboard continue liberal. Exports of
breadstutfs quite free, while bookings
of new were light. Corn clearances
still limited. According to official Wis
IDLE supply, as compiled by the secre-
tary of the Chicago board of trade,
there was decrease in corn, oats,
rye and barley and an increase in
wheat. Worlds available supply OF
breadstuffs increased 6,350,000 blu. for
the week, compared with an increase
of 100000 bu. for the corresponding
period one year ago.
An immense speculative business
was witnessed on change this week,
fluctuations in all the leading cereals

In case of the political complications
abroad include the powers, there Is no
telling as to where the price OF -four
will advance, but conditions are favor.
able to higher prices. Exporters were
again fair buyers of flour, but these
transactions were kept under cover, so
to speak. and 1t was not known early
In the week that foreigners were TAX
ing as much -four as they really are.
With crop losses In Russia, and with
the losses also in western Canada,
those countries will have less wheat
and less -four for sale, and exporting
countries will be forced to come to the
United States for larger supplies than
at any time in years-provided ship
ments can be made. Stocks Of -four In
the hands of jobbers as we'll as in the
hands of spectators, shippers and To-
cal dealers in Chicago, are considered
quite small. The activity in -four dur
ing this week is a reflection of condi.
tons surrounding the market, and it
shows that good and healthy situa-
ton may be seen with settlement OF
the political complications abroad.
WHEAT.-Winter wheat ruled regu.
lar the past week and prices advanced
just at the close. Trading was active
in local way; all the fresh arrivals
Of all grades met with sharp de.
mand, with the greater part OF the ad-
vance established on Tuesday. The
market followed the fluctuations in the
speculative market to some extent ex.
cepting on Tuesday when the specula-
tive market advanced the most, and
when that market was the most excit-
ed at that time buyers temporarily
withdrew, the fluctuations being too
sudden and too severe. The premiums
were reduced from L " @2c over Sep
TENDER to September price. The ex-
port business was light, the sharp ad-
vance cutting off trading with foreign
markets almost completely. The re-
ceipts were quite liberal and the ship
ments continued large, the wheat 60
ing out on the previous purchases by
exporters. Receipts for the week s.
249 cars, compared with SGT cars last
week. There were taken out of public
elevators 477,0S1 Blu. and out of private
warehouses Ill cars and 3,S05,136 bu.
The stock of No, and No. 2 hard IN
public elevators was reported at $780,
900 blu. against 10000 bu the preceding
week year ago, and Of No. and No.
2 red $4,000 blu. against $4,000 bu.
the preceding week and 100000 bu a
year ago.
Spring wheat trading has again been
very light in the spring wheat market
the past week and prices little better
than nominal, and ranged from 606Rc
| higher on the different grades. Very
small receipts prevented larger trading
A fair demand existed, and the few
cars received met with fair demand

being wide and great excitement pre-
vailed. The war in Europe was the all
important factor and overshadowed all
other influences. Wheat was greatly
unsettled; in fact, an old.time market
was witnessed, price changes being
the most violent In many years.
Shorts" covered freely and there was
a lot of new spring buying. The early
strength was based chiefly on reports
that the Canadian northwest crop had
suffered something of disaster Of I'M
portance, and that the American north.
west would have a lighter total, con-
tanning much shrunken wheat. Rus.
sian crop news was also factor.
British consols dropped to a new low
point on Tuesday. French rentes were
weak and lower, and Europe again
drew heavily on the United States for
gold, taking about 323,0OO,000 Monday
and Tuesday. Heavy realizing sales
followed the sharp advance in values
and severe declines followed, the mar.
ket ruling choppy and irregular, with
the late tone very nervous. Corn trade
was active, early prices up on war,
the wheat advance and on hot weather
in the southwest, but realizing causing
severe backset. Selling pressure large

were excited, following other grains,
Hedging sales feature on the bulges,

Crop news from the Canadian and
American northwest less favorable.
An excellent trade was reported In
cash grain during the week just closed
Consignments were liberal, while pur.

a great deal of new wheat as well as
oats being bought to arrive In August
New rye and barely also commenced
to move. Demand good for all des
criptions at the outset, but later on
buyers withdrew owing to the war talk
Wheat was in very good request on
milling and shipping account, with
light export sales.
FLOUR.-(Millers have Withdrawn
from the market as sellers and they
will remain out until such time as The
foreign political situation settles down
Transactions in -four now are a matter
special barter at time Of sale.) Prices
were advanced sharply early in the
week, the best grades being marked UP
400 soc per barrel, but part of this
was lost later with wheat. The sen.
sational upturn in wheat, together
with the increased buying power In
flour, and the fact that millers have
refused to cut prices any further, were
the leading influences. During the
early part of the week, there were
heavy sales of -four made by south
western millers to bakers here, not.
ably Oklahoma and Kansas, and the
prices realized were not as strong and
not as satisfactory because of the sen.
sational upturn in wheat on Tuesday
