Wheat-There is nothing Of conse
uence passing in the local wheat mar
ket, business being largely confined to
small shipments to California and
scattering acquisitions from the mill
ing trade. European export is purely
of consignment character, while ia
pan is supplying it's acquisitions, If II
has any at this time, from Australia
keeping operations within the narrow
est possible limits. Both club and
bluestem wheat are quoting up 1c, the
former at SIC and the latter at orc
while the general situation is fairly
we'll sustained, based upon reiterated
advices of shortage in the Argentine
crop, which will afford less than hall
the normal export surplus, according
to dispatches. Wheat in first hands
is in a strong position. with very lit
tie Offering, but terminal warehouses
are carrying comparatively heavy
surplus.
Flour-The flour market is decided
ly quiet. While most mills have con
tinued to operate, they are still work
ing on old contracts, very little new
business having been placed for sew
eral weeks. Present contracts will
be exhausted by about the middle o.
February, and, unless there should bt
a termination in demands, there will
follow a curtailment of operations
Prices are steady at around 1855 fol
club straights and $3.50 for bluesten
cutoffs and necessarily firm, because
of the position of the wheat market
Feed-There is no change in tn
/ "a ~ 80 90
and $27, with barley at $3.50 ant
$3.50. Sitter weather should resul
in increased demands, however. il
which event there would probably b.
advances, as stocks are being firml,
held.
