view. More favorable weather in the Canadian spring wheat area and .continued favorable weather in thei United States were also weakening factors. Reports from’ private sources indicate a further increase in the United States wheat crop over the July 1 estimate and suggest that the total srop this year may he as large as that harvested last year. Wheat rrop prospects in European I countries were about unchanged and the worlds cron in the northern hem isphere according to present estimates will probably be between 300 million and 400 million bushels less than , last year. There was an unusually heavymovement of wheat during the week to Kansas City, St Louis. Hutchinson and Wichita, receipts in Kansu City being larger than ever reported in that market. While the future mar-'kc-t held firm premiums for cash ' wheat were materially reduced in . mo:-t of the markets. Soft winter wheat at St Louis and Kansas Cty (’relined 4 to 5c during the week ',-lU..- the hard winter wheat classes rol l at premiums 2 to 3c lower than 11 the close of the previous week, j Mills were the principal buyers in the Central Western markets altho Chicago elevator interests were heavy buyers at Kansas City. The flour demand continued slow and sales of new wheat flour to date wore,reported to be only p small percentage of the total sales for tho corresponding period a year ago. Mills, therefore Lave become more cautious buyers as their stocks are becoming large and more active demand for flour has not , materialized. The quality of the new wheat continued excellent and tho protein content is averaging about one point higher than a year ago Some of the new wheat arriving at Denver was damp but this was caused principally by the combine method of harvesting which did not allow the wheat sufficient time to dry out. The corn market continued its up- ; war'd trend during the week and new ' high levels were reached on Friday ! when September corn in Chicago reached $1.13 per bushel. The not I gain for the week, however, was only I three cents. The, light receipts at most of the markets, together with j prospects of a small crop, continued to be the principal strengthening factors. Weather conditions continued favorable over a good part of the corn belt, however, throughout the 1 week ami tho crop made good pro- '■ ivi-ss in most sections. Private estie mates by tho trade were that the improved w>-ather conditions had adr d-d possibly 100,000,000 ’bushels to e the July 1 estimate of 2 500,000 bushels. i! The higher prices began to restrict t- tho demand toward the close of the if week but because of the light re i- eeipts the arrivals were readily ab d sorbed at most of the markets. At (1 St, Louts the receipts continued fair* n ly lieavv and ahnut 50 percent of Frie day's receipt:- were carri -d over unsold. (lash prices at most of the markets t averaged 2 to 3c higher for the week t ranging around $1.06-SI.OB at Kansu*. I City; SI,OB-$1.12 at. St. Loirs and sll3-11.13 at Chicago for No. 3 white and yellow corn. ~ The oats future market was about I 1c higher for the week in sympathy . with corn but eash prices did not follow the future market and No. 3 white oats sold 1 to 2c lower at the principal markets. The movement ) of new oat was becoming more general tn the Central Western markets. ! The first car of now oats at Omaha ‘ was received during the week. f While buyers have been taking only ' sufficient oats for their current needs • and have been awaiting a heavier • movement of new grain there were

' indtrattons that the demand for new; outs would be come very active because outlie high corn prices and the efforts of feeders to substitute oats lor corn. The rye market advanced sharply during the week and No. 2 rye at i Minneapolis on Friday was quoted 87j Ito 89?, cents per bushel. New rye I was beginning to arrive on the mar-! I ket and the quality of the early re*| eeipts was <-xcelieiit. Mills wore more active buyers of the new crop grain to arrive than of old rye prln cipally because of the better quality ;of new grain. There was an improved foreign demand also for rye dur* ' ing the week and foreign buyers are likely to continue fairly active because of the smaller European crop. The barley market was practically unchanged during the week.' No receipts of new barley were reperted at
