had them, for time, eating out of his hand) and the weather very fa- vorable for crop movement, receipts of wheat at the three leading North western markets Minneapolis, Du- luth and Winnipeg) for the past week were 8,S33 cars against POTTS cars the same week year ago. Minneap- oils received 3,34S cars against ASH cars; Duluth received s,179 cars against 6,311 cars; Winnipeg received 3,806 cars against 9.596 cars.
 Exports of North American wheat for the same period as reported by Bradstreets were 9,996,OO0 bushels, as compared with 9,912.000 bushels same week in 1915. Total exports from the United States and Canada since JuIyN l, as reported by the same authority, now amount to ld5, 5,447 ,000 bushels, against 66,920,OO0 for the same time a year ago.
 Statistics are now pretty we'll agreed, North America, without en- croaching on reserves, will not be able to spare for export more than 175,000,- 900 bushels wheat on this crop, this including the very liberal carry-over from the 1915 crop Of this quantity over 105, 100000 bushels has already moved abroad with apparently no abatement in the demand. In view of the fact Europe has taken 475,000,0OO to O,0O0, 900 bushels per annum of North American wheat for the last

two years, the above figures are sig nificant, indicating as they do wild scramble for our remaining surplus. The Argentine harvest, which begins in December, does not offer much hope of relief. That country is now experiencing a severe drouth which threatens to cut a normal exportabIe surplus of 100,0O0.000 bushels to around 50,000,000 bushels.
 Altogether the situation is serious, and it is entirely possible, as lightly intimated in our letter of last week, this country may be practically on the cornbread basis before our 1917 harvest is garnered.
 We have before us chart showing the ups and downs of the wheat mar ket since July l. This shows that on every dip after an advance the mar ket did not reach the same low point it did on the previous decline and that every advance was higher than the previous one. So, our advice to buy on the breaks was certainly right. Prices are abnormally high, but we must remember these are abnormal times. In addition to our enormous shortage comes now the added calam- ity of drouth in Argentine and big shortage is facing that wheat-raising and wheat-exporting country.
 "The wheat situation IS becoming more acute every day Conditions are very bullish The United States has already exported since the 1st of July, 11o,000,000 bushels, and if we continue at this same rate for an other 50 days, we will face an actual shortage so far as this country's need for bread and seed are concerned. Good English authorlty says that Flu rope should have 200,000,000 bushels yet this season to keep their reserves anywhere near normal. Where can they buy them? Certainly not in the United States and Argentine, which l furnishes them with great deal of wheat and which is the chief compet- itor of this country in the wheat busf- ness, has troubles of it's own. Look at it from any angle you wish, and there is nothing that warrants reduc- tion in price from present already high levels; but, on the contrary nev- CT were conditions so favorable for still higher prices.

new element has arrived to take Q hand in the juggling of wheat prices the German submarine. The under sea fighters which have been creat- ing havoc on the Atlantic coast may prevent the exportation of wheat, and this will make greater quantity available for home consumption and lessen the prices.
 This is the view of Chas. E. Smith of the c. E. Smith Grain Company, but there is nothing in his weekly trade letter to intimate there is 8 chance for a break However, the frisRy submarine was not collecting it's toll when the weekly letter was issued. MT Smiths letter to the trade is as follows:

BUSY ROASTING COOLERS
 AND GOOD COFFEES

With baseball games gone down into history, one can only wonder what became of all the peanuts that are roasted every day at the coffee plant of the Plunkett-Jarren Grocer Company. All the provision and com mission houses in that section of the city have their peanuts roasted at this plant and every day great piles of the huge sacks of peanuts are cart ed in and out.
 We have done almost double the amount of business the past month that we did the same year of 1915, and that month was not a small one, either" says L. c. Dome, manager of the Plunkett-Jarrell coffee depart ment.
 MT. Dome states that the coffee de- partment is also putting in full time and turning out the usual excellent grades of roasted coffee
