th er remaining wheat supplies, al
though a large percentage of the
81 plus mad already been market
~ " nquldate outstanding obi
gations. Price ranges at Portland
Tor the week shoewd an advance
Oh around &c per bushel on both
Sasn ana future quotations. No.
rard white wheat was quoted at
pan francisco in carlots, sacked,
at $2.25 per 100 pounds, or S1.35
per pc Dushel and No. 1 soft white at
S Sz.1O per 100 lbs. or $1.S2 per
pushed. Milling wheat continued
Ilrm at Los Angeles with prices
holding steady.
RYE failed to show the same
relative market strength during
Cne week as did wheat but prices
advanced with good milling quail
ties In active demand. Receipts
were generally heavy in the North
Central markets and No. 2 rye
was quoted at Minneapolis at 99%c
Whlch was an advance of &c for
the week. Rosen quality was quot
cd at the same market at S1.O4%-
Sl.O5% per bushel. No. 2 rye was
quoted at Chicago at S1.O7 per
bushel.
The CORN market turned firm
er at the middle of the week with
good demand for light offerings
and prices advanced to slightly
above quotations a week ago. The
general nee of rains over the main
belt was also strengthening fac
tor. No. 8 yellow corn was quot
ed at Kansas City at $1.O4-$1.O5
and at Chicago at $1.O4 3-8 per
bushel.
The OATS market was easy
early in the week but developed
a flrmer tone with corn at the
close and an active inquiry for the
heavy offerings. Our harvest is
largely completed and as market
lngs were heavier stocks in store
have increased. Inquiry was good
at Chicago and largely from in
dustries. Interest was most ac-
tive for the better grades at Min
neapolis. Bright, heavy test SAM
pies were in short supply at Kan
sas City and in good demand with
supply of light weight oats ex-
ceeding the prevailing inquiry. No.
3 white oats were quoted at Chi
cago t44Ac-46c, at Kansas City
44c-45c, and at Minneapolis 41%c-
42%c per bushel.
BARLEY: The Central Western
barley markets were quoted low
er than week ago. Heavy re-
ceipts, dull export demand, to-
gether with generally shortage of
storage space for this grain weak
ened spot prices. Futures were
relatively stronger than cash quo
tations and reflected the smaller
prospective crop. However, domes-
tic masters were moderate pur-
chasers of better grades. Export
demand showed some improvement
near the close of the week at Chi
cago. Tn Pacific coast and Euro
pean markets were also lower.
Choice to fancy mailing barley was
quoted at Minneapolis at the close
of the week at 60c-62c, medium to
good mailing 57c-59c, and feed
grades $4,000. The light barley
receipts at Kansas City met only
a fair demand and No. barley
was quoted at 56c-57c, and No. 4
541sc-55c per bushel. No. 2 Spe-
cial barley was quoted at Milwau
kee at 66c-66c per bushel.
The FLAX market averaged
weak and prices declined, despite
the unfavorable crop prospects
Market receipts continued small
and crushers interest in the mar
ket was dull, but commercial
stocks in store continued thei
downward trend. Late flax still
needs rain badly in the Dakotas
Minneapolis September futures de
