The wheat market promises to bo Influenced by heavy shipments for an other month or two. I'ltiniately. of course, Russia will loosen her SO.O'K), 000 to 100,000,000 surplus. The wheat and oats markets have been under war Influences for 26 days, and the bull pplrlt is far from exhaust ed Thrr Is nn outnourine of bear theories, but thev are likely to have little effect for another month unless peace hoves In sight. There are private guesses on corn of 2.300.000.000. Last August the pri vate estimates were arouud 2.000,000, 000. Corn market is duo to be resili ent until well into September. Our own idea of the corn crop Is that the United States will raise 300.000.000 above 1913. We bellevo in high prices for another year, but also believe fair sized reactions are certain. Export news on oats Indicates that the United States has already sold 5.000,000 to 8.000,000 abroad, and may sell 12,000.000 to 15,000,000 more. There is only one key to the oata mar ket the export news. Bullish possi bilities do not appear exhausted. The 1913 corn condition last Septem ber was about as bad as any crop will ever attain at 65 per cent. In com parison with 1913 the 1914 crop is 5 10 7 per cent Its superior. August weath er Illustrates th!9 fact. Tf the 1914 crop Is finally given as 2.400.000.000 then the 1913 yield vas 2,100,000,000. 000 000 abroad the oata will break but little. Oats visible la nominally lib eral. Corn lacks the reinforcement of dry hot weather which Is ever a valuable ndjunct. Normal cost of exporting Chicago wheat to Liverpool is around 15 or 16 cents. Present cost la 23 cents. There is much local talk thnt all grains and products have had rood advances. Local paper says the corn belt has nol only received best rains in some time, but the cool weather will conserve the moisture. Wheat 32 . Pnrn . ST.'. Oata 721 230 Northwest Cars.
