GRAIN REVIEW OF
THE PAST WEEK

Climatic conditions in this country
during the past week were generally
regarded as favorable, and crop reports
generally were more assuring, outside
occasional claims of rust in the spring
wheat country. Advices from the
American northwest were in the main
optimistic and the government report
placed the condition Of spring wheat at
92.1 per cent, suggesting yield of
275,00O,O00 on, compared with final esti-
mate of 239,879,000 bu in 1913. Thresh-
ing returns from the winter wheat belt
showed yields fully up to expectations
and government report made the yield
655,0OO,O0O blu or q combined crop OF
$50, 900 900 5u, as against 763,3S0,000 blu
one year ago. Conditions were favor
able for the cultivating of corn and re-
ports on the whole fairly favorable.
Area reported 105,067,000 acres and
crop 1885, 100000 blu. Advices regard
ing the condition of oats were some
what conflicting. Government report
suggested a yield of 1,2O1,00 bu as
compared with 121,76s,000 bu raised
last year. Rye yield Is estimated at
about 17.2 blu andNbarley 211,000,0O0 bu.
indicated yield 1877 tons per acre. Flax
condition 00.5 per cent, indicating q
yield of 100000 blu.
The movement Of grain from the
farms and interior elevators during the
week just closed was considerably larg-
err in the aggregate. Receipts at the
leading terminals in the northwest
were somewhat larger, while marketing
in the west and southwest were quite
liberal, the new wheat commencing to
move quite freely. Yields reported lib
eral and quality excellent. Coarse
grains in moderate supply west and
southwest. Fears Of serious trouble
among western railroads fastened
shipments.
A very good trade occurred in cash
grain during the week just closed. Con-
signments were more liberal, while
purchases to arrive were Of very fair
size, a great deal Of new wheat being
bought to arrive in July and August.
Demand good for all descriptions
Wheat was IN very fair request on mill
ing and shipping account, with liberal
export sales. Prices were higher. fol-
lowing futures. Corn sold well. but the
prices were irregular. New grading
caused less confusion. Oats continue to
meet with ready sale, and offerings
continue to clean up closely from day
to day. Prices ranged higher. Rye mod
erately active and lower in price. Bar
ley trade moderate and market ruled
