OMAHA, Aug Il. 1914


u 10 now possible to ship moderate
quantities OF breadstuffs abroad, nine
vessels having cleared from New York
Saturday. Exporters OF breadstuffs have
sold grain on a large scale in the pit Of
late on account Of their inability to ship
good amounts across the ocean where 1t
Is wanted by importers
a noticeable fact relative to the re-
selling of wheat by exporters Is that some
OF the larger houses have refused to let
go of pound of their wheat as IL shows
loss. Those with facilities for carrying
the grain and financing II viii continue
to hold 1t, as they feel that Il is only a
question of time when they will he en-
abled to secure a handsome profit as we'll
as pay for carrying the grain. That II
will only be a matter of time when for
eign nations will need all OF our surplus,
The flour situation at Chicago as well
strong, although the trade has been
wholly on domestic account
The sharp let down IN the price Of
wheat at Liverpool and tho pressure on
the markets there has proved a draw
back to the flour situation here during
the last few days and conditions now
point to stlll lower prices for this product,
IL must be remembered that during last
week the price of flour advanced nearly
81 per barrel and that the demand was
not fully supplied even then.
The spring wheat crop of the North
west has already commenced 20 move
and II is said, that many millions of
bushels of new wheat have been sold
TO Great Britain. That that country will
have the grain loaded In vessels and II
necessary these vessels viii be accom-
panied across the Atlantic by war ships
In order to insure it's safe passage.
Corn will likely continue a weather af-
fair and prices will pivot on the weather
in the great belt. While the farmers
have been selling a little more freely this
week than for some time, II 10 said that
they will hold more tightly to their sur
plus in the future. The east has bought
considerable corn at Chicago, as well as
Urgent as II was week or ten days ago.
Widespread sentiment against advan-
cling the price OF hog products probably
had much to do with the breaking of
values not only in Chicago, but in Liver
POOL during the last day of last week.
The weak position in the provisions situa-
ton is still the lard. Stocks of that
