Wheat-The wheat market has I'M
dergone a decided slump during the
past two weeks. The big problem that
confronts as the season approaches
is that of getting the surplus abroad
The wheat crop offers the largest ex-
port total in the history of the coun-
try, and there is very little tonnage
to move it. Pacific Coast growers have
been endeavoring to overcome the
handicap of excessive water transpor-
tation rates by securing lower price
for Atlantic seaboard delivery by rail
but it is very doubtful if an adjust

such a diversion profitable. At the
moment there is not a comprehensive
demand from Europe, immediate re
quirements being well provided for
while there is a marked Discrimination
on the part of exporters to buy against
possible future developments.
Prices are largely a nominal con
sideration. Quotations are given al
92c for bluestem and sec for club, but
this is well below the bid figures fol
future delivery, while there is disin
clination to sell at the figures, anC
it is probable that not much business
will be developed before next month
unless conditions change. Then liqui
dation will be necessary on short time
loans and good deal of wheat will
have to be moved. Tide water re
ceipts at Tacoma, Portland and Seat
tie for last week were 900 cars, while
for August the total deliveries aggre
gated about $500 cars, or practically
the same as the July total.
Flour-While there is not mucl
business being placed as yet, the de
velopments in the wheat situation are
indicative of a revival in oriental buy
ing, low prices always proving a stim
ulant. Local patents have been de
clined zoe during the week, and are
now quoting at 1915 in a jobbing way
Feed-The market for grains is still
rather unsettled. There is a lack O.
heavy offerings, but the weakness il
export wheat has been a factor in re
ducing quotations, and jobbers ar,
quoting dollar lower at $2S for oats
$26 for barley and $32 and $33 fol
feed wheat. Other quotations are un
changed.
