Wheat-For the first time in a very
considerable period, the wheat mar
ket has been stirred to abnormal fluc-
tuations by events which exercise a
speculative influence upon values. The
declaration of war by Austria-Hungary
on Servia served as the provocation
to a sensational advance of &C in the
Chicago wheat pit Tuesday, while To-
cal export quotations were influenced
the extent of &c per bushel, sending
bluestem to 85c, with forty-fold SIC;
club, sic, and red Fife Soc. Naturally
alton affoafc aP o,,o1 n 5orx1Jo.-.z-A
are problematical. That the rise was
based upon the possibilities entailed
of the embodiment of Russia and 9TH
err nations in the complications is evil
dent, for the two countries directly
involved would not give the situation
serious aspect, and should the out
break be confined to them it is not
that there will be CORE
spending recessions, while, on the
other hand, a general wal might serve
to still further enhance values.
There is very little doing in the
wheat market to date, though rather
better arrivals are coming to hand
The current week, including a consid-
cradle proportion of new wheat. Up
20 Saturday night local receipts for
the month had aggregated but LAT
cars as compared with 1876 ears for Sc
and 295 ears for Portland. The
mills are buying in moderate way for
delivery, and a small export
business is passing, although the gen.
oral tendency among buyers is to
await the results of the harvest, while
growers are concentrating their ener-
sies in securing the crop, the harvest
making favorable progress, but de-
handing attention for another month.
Flour-The flour situation is still
holding comparatively quiet. Stocks
the other side are heavy, and finan-
,ial conditions adverse to the entering
nto heavy engagements for future de-
livery. Prices r rather unsettled,
but crop basis is rather lower,
near to the $3.40 mark for club
'traights. Patents are still holding
Unchanged.
Feed-The feed market is quiet, but
will gradually pick up as the season
and feeding becomes neces-
The market generally is un
changed. There has been a So adj
rance in corn, however, while oats are
'uling relatively easy.
