Wheat. Although the prospects for
supplies OF wheat during the balance
Of the season are not particularly
favorable and it looks as If America
Will have to resort TO more general
use of substitutes than has yet been
ATTEMPTED. the outlook for the next
crop of winter wheat at least is very
bright Practically all authorities agree
that the crop has PASSED through the
winter with very little damage, ana,
when it is remembered that the acreage
sown last fall was a record one, tho
outlook is indeed gratifying. It is also
thought that there will be big aero
age planted in spring wheat, and the
latest advices from Canada say that a
big area VIII be seeded IN the Canadlal
spring wheat section
Corn.-The corn market presented q
rather irregular appearance !estcr-
day. with sentiment divided. Price
ranges were not important, so far as net
contracts were concerned, final quota
tions being lsc higher to sc lower.
good grades, with prices from to Z
cents higher Very low grade corn,
however, is becoming moro difficult to
SELL and the undertonc was easy, with
quotations irregular, according TO
grade. The question of transportation
and marketing is still the most I'M
portant factor
Receipts continue liberal at WestcrA
points, but it seems to be the pre-
vailing impression that it is not rea-
sonable to expect the present big move
mcNt TO continue when the spring Sec
son opens. Already farmers are busi.yi
engaged in planting oats, and in the
South ploughing is in progress for
other crops. The cmbargoes against
shipments to the East are interfering
with cash operations. aud there have
been few evidences of late Of further
export operations. "Bradstree't's" vis'-
bic showed an increase for the week
of ! .599 ,OOO bushels, and the total was
ID. .663, 900. against l4,729,0 900 last yea.
Total stocks at Chicago increased 4dS.-
600 for the week. but the grade is poor,
and no contract stocks have yet ac-
cumulated at that point.

Oats.-An easier undcrtonc prevailed
in the oats market and at the close of
the day values were about cent net
lower. Exporters were said to be in
the market, and were bidding as high
as l3 cents over Chicago May for cash
oats laid down at the seaboard. The
domestic trade, however, was slow be-
cause of strict embargocs against send
/ ing Western cars through to the East.
The rigid enforcement of this rcgu-
lation was the principal depressing
factor in the market. Bradstrcets Wis
ibe supply showed an increase for the
week Of 1.OlS.000 bushels, bringing the
total to 26,630, 1000, compared with 3d.
