$500 WHEAT PREDICTED

I Sales of the better grades Of dark
/ hard and hard winter wheat of the
Kansas City market are being made
above SO a bushel, which with the ex-
ceptiOn of sales at $3.42 in May of 1917,
is the highest figure in the history OF
the trade there. The marekt displays
unusual strength, resulting from
heavy buying by millers ofthe spring
wheat territory Of the Northwest, also
by the East. the far Southwest and
surrounding territory.
The extreme bulls" in the trade
now are talking of the probability of
a 81 market for wheat in Kansas City
before another crop of bread grain
begins moving to market. 1t is sig
nificant that not few members of
the grain and milling industry hold to
the belief that the market will reach
$4 a bushel in Kansas City with less
difficulty or less opposition than has
been witnessed in the rise to the SO
level.
Tha the movement of wheat from
Kansas and other winter wheat States
contributing to the Kansas City sup
ply has reached the peak of the crop
and that offerings will continue to fall
off for the remainder of the crop year,
is indicated by country advices. Pro-
ducers may market their remaining
more freely with prices above !
So, but bullish enthusiasm still is evil
dent on the part of growers.
Among the influences which have |
forced the upturn in wheat was the .
order of the Canadian wheat board |
advancing the price of the grain to
nillers from $3.50 to $3.50 a bushel,
with corresponding higher values on
lour. 1t is reported that further ad-
Tances in wheat prices will be made
~ Canadian officials in an effort to
heck marketings into the United
itates. Considerable wagon wheat has
.lready crossed the Canadian border
ntO this country, and with the mar
,et in the Northwest around $3.50,
here is considerable profit to Domin-
on growers. II is felt that both Can
da and Argentina cannot ship sufi-
lent grain into the United States to
ave more than a sentimental infu-
nee upon the market.
