Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Prices on wheat are up a
few cents this week over former fig
ures, the quotations being 74hc for
bluestem, 72kc for club and 69Hc for
red Russian. There is very little
wheat moving as the war scare in Eu
rope has had tendency to cause
holders to hang on to their stocks. A
most peculiar feature of the wheat sit
uation has been the weak tendency OF
prices in America and the strong DO
sition OF wheat in the international
| market.
Flour-Millers report improvement
in flour sales, yet are still disappoint
ed at the volume of business, which
they had hoped would be much larger
on the movement Of new wheat. Some
reason for the lack of business is prob
ably due to the fact that most mills
have not yet started to grind new
wheat. Domestic flour trade is pick
ing up gradually and millers as rule
are advising customers that -four al
present prices is safe purchase.
Feed-New crop hay and alfalfa il
coming to hand in good volume with
prices on this variety quoted at ST.
for timothy and $14 for alfalfa. Feed
wheat is dropping, lowering of S.
being noted this week at $29.
