REVIEW OF The GRAIN MARKET

Continued firmness in the Euro
pean markets despite the continued
heavy shipments of wheat from ex-
porting countrise had a strengthen
ing influence upon the domestic mar
ket and prices held practically I'M
changed during the week ending Feb
ruray 3, according to the weekly
grain market review of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Larger receipts of corn and oats add
ed to the weakness in the market for
these grains and prices declined hc
to lie per bushel. Rye and barley
held firm.
Shipments of wheat were large
from practically all exporting coun-
tries during the week and it was es-
tlmated that exports from these coun-
tries would total around 100000
bushels. These heavy shipments have
increased the stocks afloat to around
6O,OOO,OO0 bushels, but European buy
ers continued to bid fairly actively
not only for wheat in nearby posi-
lions but for later shipments. This
increased import demand is largely
the result of reduced crops of both
wheat and rye in European countries
this year and small stocks, which ap-
parently have been allowed to run
very low. Argentine wheat from the
northern part of the wheat belt was
being quoted at $1.55 per bushel de-
livered at Liverpool.
The first estimate of the acreage
sown to wheat in India is 30,472, 900
acres, which is As per cent greater
than the estimate of the 1926 acreage
made at the corresponding time last
year. Weather conditions so far as
reported to date have been generally
favorable. The conditions of fall
sowings in Europe also continue gen
orally favorable with the possible ex-
ceptlon of France and Austria. In
the United States the winter wheat
crop is in generally favorable condi-
ton except in western Kansas. parts
OF western Nebraska and eastern Col
orado, where there is a lack of mois-
ture and where there has been some
drifting of the dry soil by high winds.
The demand for wheat in the do
nestle markets continued only mod
erately active although apparently
sufficient to absorb the larger re-
celpts. Northwestern mills were buy
ing some hard winter wheat from the
central western markets while local
mills at Kansas City were principally
in the market for Kansas wheat. Ele-
vators and shippers were taking the
offerings from other States in the
Kansas City market. Premiums were
practically unchanged, No. 2 hard

ed at Kansas City at 21ac over the
May price, which closed February a

MINOT QUINT DEFEATS
WILLISTON Is TO Is

Williston, N. D., Feb. THE Mi
not high school team defeated Willis
ton Friday evening in the best and
fastest basketball game played here
this season, Is to 16. The lead, while
with Williston through most of the
game, see-sawed from one side to the
other and the outcome was in doubt
until the final whistle blew, so evenly
were the two teams matched in every
phase of the play. The first quarter
ended with each team having five
points to its credit; at the close of
the half Williston had 1 and Minot
II. In the third quarter Minot an
nexed only on double counter, while
the local boys added 9 points to their
score, but the visitors tied the score
in terrific drive in the final quarter
and then tossed the deciding basket
in the last minutes of play.
The Williston team plays Culbertson
Friday and the following week plays
at Plentywood and Scobey. This will
be followed by two or three games
with North Dakota teams before the
