Big Bend Bluestem wheat and hard |
white wheats were quoted at $1.48 /
per bushel at Portland.
The corn market was held fairly |
firm throughout the week by a more |
active demand from industries, ship |
pers and feeders. The press of farm |
work and poor road conditions con-
tinued to restrict movement but re-
celpts were of fair volume of better !
uality. Reports from Nebraska
stated that corn being held on farms
in that state was we'll cribbed and
thought to be carrying well with little
danger Of going out of condition.
Farmers generally are not pressing
their corn on the market at present
prices while buying has been more
active in consuming territories. There
was fair Pacific Coast demand at
the Central Western markets and
there was also a good inquiry from
Mexico and the Southwestern states
for corn at Kansas City. Some little
export demand has developed and
sales of around 100000 bushels were
reported for the week. Planting is
being delayed by the cold weather
and wet ground and replanting has
been found necessary in Oklahoma
and Texas. Some replanting also
will be necessary in the Southeastern
states.
.. The cats market was relatively
, frmer than other feed grains as a re-
suit of continued active demand and
! only moderate receipts. Oats seeding
/ is also being delayed and some of the
oats that were up in Kansas and Ok
) lahOma were damaged by the recent
) freeze. About 100000 bushels we're
reported sold during the week for ex-
; port.

harvest in about 80 days in the south
VS. ern part of California. There was
