Wkeat.-Despite the very small visi-
BILE supply of wheat, prominent West
ern trade publication estimates that
on May 1 there were 54,000,000 bushels
Of wheat still in the country for ex-
port and carry-over into next season.
If these figures are correct the wheat
is apparently largely on the farms or
in the hands of mills and country
elevators, and should provide for quite
liberal export movement during the
mills fairly we'll occupied. AS a mat
ter of fact, recent reports through
mill agents here would seem to indi-
cate that many of the mills expect to
continue grinding at about their pres

In the meantime the crop is making
splendid progress.
Corn.--The corn market was again
feverish and price changes we're due
more to technical conditions and the
nature of operations than to any new
development in connection with the
present or prospective supply and de-
mand. There was apprehension, how
ever, over the cool weather in the
Northwest and few complaints Of
delayed planting by rains. On the
whole, it was said that planting opera
tions are progressing rapidly and the
season is considerably ahead of last
year.

Oats.-The Western oats market was
again disturbed by the action of the
May position, which sold up to 79Ac,
an advance of 1Ac from the previous
covering on the part of nervous shorts.
Toward the close there was a reaction
throughout the list, and final quota
tions were irregular, ranging from nc
advance to Nc net decline. The cash
position was steady to firm and there
was some intimation of little export
