Whcat-Thc market was strong on small
offers and on further bids by exporters
The volume of export business during the
past few days has not been disclosed. but
it was the general impression in the trade
that quite large business has been done
and that sales have been limited moro by
the lack Of offers than by the absence OF
demand. Europe apparently has become
frightened over tho situation here and has
been cndeavoring to secure supplies while
large purchases in Argentina and exports
from there for the week were estimated
they are available There have also been
at $500. 900 bushels. 1t was rurlored that
the Argentine government has become
somewhat apprchensive of over extended
export operations and that some action
might be taken to restrict shipments to
Europe. The crops abroad are showing up
fairly we'll. but under tho most favorab Bile
weather conditions during the balance Of
the season there is little probability or
supplies being anywhere near requirements
and European countries are evidently feel

at primary points Some authorities were
| inclined to be cautious about taking heavy
risks on the long side. as it was thought
that any improvement In transportation
facilities might have a bearish influence,
and the situation in bread grains was con-
siderably different than in corn. Europe
is apparently drawing her supplies from
the Argentine. where shipments for the
week were estimated at 5000. 900 bushels,
although there have been numerous in
quires here of late for certain kinds of
corn products. a sharp advance In prices
has attracted more offers of Argentine corn
in the local market. and AS tonnage seemed
more plentiful in the Southern markets an
increased business was anticipated.

oats-rhe market was strong in sym
pathy with the other grains and new high
records were established. Offers were
limited owing to the transportation con-
dtions. and while there was further talk
OF export cancellations, it was said that
these were due largely to the inability
Of shippers to get grain here in tiIne to
fill contracts.
