a ten-year' average OF So is regarded
as calamity. The abandoned acreage
was not estimated in this report, but
the total indicated crop at this time is
only 10000, 900 bushels. Coming on
top Of a worlds shortage of wheat.
this situation indicates so close an
adjustment Of supply and demand the
coming year that 1t seems impossible
nations can go on warning under these
conditions. Whether peace or war OBJ
tains, however the price of wheat is
going to be very high until commercial
supplies again be accumulated
Corn-As far as can be learned.
there are no big holdings of contracts
for future delivery corn. Holders have
sold out and are more concerned in
seeing the market break than advance.
Receipts are not commensurate with
requirements. and cash premiums are
well maintained The substitution of
corn for other human food. and the
enormous industrial demand. would
seem 10 indicate a continuation OF high
prices for the remainder OF last years
short crop.
Oats-Thc big advance in wheat was
credited with most of the strength in
oats. The disparity between the price
Of oats and other grains is diverting
some trade to the former but the trade
generally is disposed to 20 slow on the
buying side, on account Of the prospect
OF Increased acreage due to abandoned
