WHEAT.-The drastic declines in
the coarse grain markets last week
caused further discussion of the
question Of maintaining the govern
ment price on wheat Authorities in
close connection with the food ad
ministration have given repeated as
surance that no change will be made
in the method of handling this seasons
wheat crop, but loud protests are
coming from many sources over the
high cost of commodities. There is a
growing suspicion that the authorities
in charge OF the distribution of wheat
are finding less ready outlet in
Europe than anticipated.
OATS.-The market was weak under
quite vigorous selling prompted by
the sharp decline in corn. Receipts
for the week We're about million
bushels larger than the previous week.
Exporters were indifferent and there
is large amount of oats owned bv
export interests still awaiting shin
ment.

some Of It's freight ships have been
