Canadian Wheat
Now Competing

The big premiums being paid for
white wheat in this territory, amount.
ing to 6 or cents, are solely due te
the fact that there are ships in the
harbor awaiting cargo and buyers find
it necessary to pay more than mar
ket values to get early deliveries of
needed grain, says the Oregonian.
When these requirements are filled
bids are found to be lower. Farmers
of Oregon and Washington are likely
to resist any decline, but dealers fig
ure that Montana and southern Idaho
will try to dispose Of their surplus
and that will bring the market down
to working basis. A considerable
quantity of Idaho wheat is already
coming in, as the usual California
outlet for such grain is closed, owing
to the larger wheat crop in the south
ern state. 1t is also believed that if
the car supply were more plentiful
it would not be necessary to pay such
premiums for early wheat at this
time.
The gulf is selling wheat to the
United Kingdom at $1.13 f. o. b. and
with a freight rate Of 81 ton can
land the wheat on the other side at
$1.16. With freights out Of Portland
quoted at 80 shillings it would be nee
essary to sell Oregon and Washing
ton wheat at 81 or $1.01 f. o. b., a
price that cannot be met under pres
ent circumstances.
There is other competition closer at
hand and that is from Canada. Alber-
ia wheat is being brought to Van
couver, B. c., and is offered there at
81 to $1.02 not only to England, but
with cheap Japanese steamers availa-
BILE can be sold to the orient. In the
meantime the market at Portland is
being maintained at around $1.09, be-
cause exporters have to pay prem
ium to fill the ships they have under
engagement.
The Chicago wire to the Gray Ron
enbaum Grain company follows:

uation. Primary receipts since July

situation displays rather strong un-
dertone. Market shows constant re-
cuperative power and sentiment more
conservative. Hedging pressure not
heavy. Still bulges will not hold unless
demand improves"
Broomhall cables on conditions in
the United Kingdom:
"Wheat situation appears some-
what firmer with buyers showing
more confidence. There has been some
improvement in the demand and spec
ulative interests have been inclined
to take hold in a fair way around
present levels. Continental buyers are,
also displaying more interest"
Argentine conditions as reported
by Broomhall;
Country offerings are not press
ing. Weather continues clear and gen
orally cool, being favorable for the
conditioning of the new corn. There
was scattered business in wheat for
export yesterday and while it is diff
ficult to confirm actual details, many
are inclined to believe that at least
half to three quarters million bush
els, if not more, was worked"
