WHEAT IS SBOOSTED
BYDROUGHT FEARS
Conditions in Southwest and
West Watched-European
Outlook UnfavorabIe,
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.


CHICAGO. February 29.-Wheat
trade interest is chiefly centering at
present on drought conditions South
west and West. simultaneous with the
most unfavorable European crop stu.
alton in several years.
Resulting unlifts of wheat values
are further explained by estimates
that Australia's exportable wheat sur
plus has now been reduced to nearly
100000 bushels below the total at
this time last year.
In addition, trade predictions are
current that bsence of heavier Ship
ments from Argentina will soon be-
come more of factor in foreign mar
kets and thus indirectly help to stiffen
domestic prices.
Wheat Registers Rise.
Compared to week ago wheat this
morning showed 114-23s cents a bushel
rise with corn ia-34 down, oats "a
on to q up and provisions at gains
OF 10 to 25 cents.
Specialists in the wheat pit say that
although great stretches Of the United
States Winter crop zone have had
superabundance of rain and snow. the
Southwest and West ends are in no
better shape than the past several
years, when production has been ex-
tremely scant. As consequence, it is
asserted in various quarters that with
out adequate moisture soon for the
deficient regions. crop complaints will
be multiplied. The fact is stressed in
particular that dust storms are alreadv
occurring, seVerest in areas of the
Kansas Texas Oklahoma Colorado So
called dust bowl.
Mill Demand Broadens,
Broadening of wheat demand bv
domestic mills keeps up to a remark
able extent. Reports at hand indicate
the flour makers are taking wheat
freely from terminals, with increasing
dependence on elevator stocks likely
from now on. Meanwhile, in contrast
with the Southwest and West ends Of
the Winter wheat belt, the Spring
wheat area of the United States and
Canada is well covered with snow and
indications point to ample moisture to
start the seed this Spring.
Corn and oats markets are draggy
owing largely to fear of a heavy run of
loW-grade corn.
Upturns of hog prices give hrmness
to provisions.

SLOWER RISE SHOWN
IN RESERVE BALANCES

Deposits of member banks with the

A halt in gold imports and transfers
of large Treasury balances to the Re-

checks on expansion in reserves, How
