Wheat-The early strength in wheat
was in response to further trmnesS IN
Liverpool and Argentine markets, but
there was not sufficient new business to
absorb the realizing sales which were en-
countercd.
The market toward the last, suffered
more from general dullness than from
any item Of news or great volume Of
selling. No export business has been re
ported, but the Winnipeg market has
ruled relatively firm and the seaboard
says that the American Relief Associa-
tion is asking for bids on flour and. also
that Greece is in the market for around
one million bushels Of wheat The flour
trade, locally, is reported rs improving,
n feature being that new orders specify
immediate shipment which, naturally
suggests an exhaustion Of supplies on
hand. The movement of wheat to market
in the Southwest is the cleaning up Of
country elevators and is expected TO de-
crease within 4 short time as ii is be
coming increasingly difficult 10 buy from
the producer. Apathy on the part of the
inye; tor may delay response Of the mar
het to the urgency of European require
mont, hut We feel that the domestic trade
must improve thereby furnishing new
buving power n the entire market
Corn and Oats-The early strength IN
wheat was reflected i'm both corn and
oats, but the slight advance in price in
creased the offerings of corn from the
country. Both markets dragged later
under an absence Of new business. One
Eastern exporter says that Canadian oats
ROW held at buffalo are being cleaned
up, says also that United States oats are
cheaper than the better grades Of the
/ Canadian sort. This being So. there is
possibility Of some export trade in this
grain. Corn values would be better if
tine country were not selling SO freely.
