Foreign Markets Fail

F. the Associated Press.
American wheat markets contin.
ued to advance last week, while those
In Europe and Canada held un-
changed or weakened.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
monies said further deterioration in
the new winter wheat crop and a
shortage of moisture in the spring
wheat belt were factors largely re.
sponsible for the upward movement
in domestic prices.
Canadian markets declined, the
bureau said, despite threatened DAM
age to spring wheat from lack of
moisture in the prairie provinces.
Winter wheat prospects in Europe
showed no material change, the bu-
reau reported. Beneficial rains were
received in the Balkan countries and
prospects remained generally good.
However, unseasonably cold weather
retarded growth in France and Ger
many, and heavy rains reduced pros-
poets slightly in Italy. r.
A domestic development unre.
f1ected in grain prices was an an
nouncement that the Agriculture
Department would make loans to
wheat growers at rates averaging
about 81 cents bushel, compared
with So cents last year. The an
nouncement was made after the
markets closed
Market receipts or wheat were
slightly above those of the previous
week, with total of 6,289 900 bushels
received at the principal terminals.
Export business for both wheat and
flour was said to have been slow: =
Corn markets were slightly
weaker with some slackening in de-
mand for the moderate receipts
Growers continued to dispose of
supplies rather freely. Receipts at
principal terminals held around A.
200, 900 bushels. Demand was less
urgent, as feeding requirements
were reduced by increased pastur-
age in important feeding areas. .
Export inquiry was negligible, and
no corn was exported during the
second week in May. Argentine
corn was offered more freely at
Liverpool, and the first shipment of
new corn which arrived during the
week was of excellent quality.
oats markets lost some of the re-
cent advances, as offerings increased
and demand slackened. Rye mar.
