Wheat-There is continued lack of
interest manifested in the spot situa-
tion, while at the interior interest is
concentrated in securing the crop,
harvest now being well under way for
fall wheat. The outlook still contin-
ues suspicious. The state grain in
spector places an estimate of 42,000,-
900 bushels on the Washington yield,
which is about 5000, 900 above the to-
tai indicated from that source last sea
son The government forecast for
Washington, however, places the win
ter wheat crop at 100000 bushels,
with 21,S0o,00O bushels of spring
wheat, or an aggregate of $4,000, 900, a
disparity which usually maintains be-
tween the figures of the department of
agriculture and commercial estimates.
There is very little wheat being
contracted for, and the market is hold
ing unchanged at SIC for bluestem,
with club, roc, the mills showing no
inclination to bid above the figures
quoted for export, although they are
not yet fairly in the market. The gen.
eral undertone of the situation, how
ever, is n of weakness, so far as
the domestic market is concerned, as
indicated by a further decline of 2kc
in the Chicago market for September
option, as compared with a week ago.
Four-While there are many re-
ports of the booking Of large orders
for future delivery on export account,
there is no confirmation for such ad-
vices, the situation being character
lied by a tendency or the part of buy
ers to hold off for more settled con-
ditions. Flour is now being offered at
around $3.50 for club straights, with
bluestem cutoffs sc higher.
Feed-The market is quiet and prac-
tically unchanged, the only alteration
for the week being a further decline
in wheat hay of 81 to $11@12.
