smaller and premiums on some classes
were further advanced. Good milling

Kansas City at $1.59 2 -$1.64 4, _ or
about bc-22c over the July quotation;

B «f new crop wheat, however, have
■ been small to date, according to trade
B re P° rts '
B The recent high premiums for soft
■ winter wheat were further reduced,
■ partially as a result of the limited
B demand for this wheat at the unusual

Manitoba for July shipment being
quoted in that market at the close of
the week at $1.62, compared with
$1.59A2 for $3 pound Rosa Fe for May
shipment and $1.67 for a cargo of
Southern Australian wheat afloat.
World shipments continued fairly
large, principally from North Ameri
ca, Argentina, and Australia. North
American shipments were mostly from
Canada. Argentine shipments totaled
about ,3694,000 bushels and Australian
shipments 3,048,000 bushels. About
88,000 bushels were reported shipped
from India, but there were no ship
ments reported from Russia on the
Black Sea ports.
RYE: The poor prospect of the rye
crop in both the United States and
Europe was the principal strengthen
ing factor in the rye market, as de
mand was rather limited both from
domestic buyers and exporters. Prices
advanced around 2c per bushel
Chicago, but declined about 5 3-8c at
Duluth, where export demand has fall
en off. Germany is already making
inquiry for offerings of
,. . , , n8w c u r .°P
rye, according to trade reports, which
would tend to confirm the poor pros
pects for the crop in that country. No.
2 rye was selling at the close of the
at
week at Chicago at $1.36, Minneapo
lis $1.27-$1.28, and at Duluth $1.29
$1.31. No. 2 rye for export was quot
ed at New York at $1.41 r3-8.
CORN: The corn market held steady
, during the early part of the week but
! with generally favorable weather pre
vailing throughout thfe corn belt, the
crop maed good progress. This, to
gether with larger offerings and some
slowing up in the demand, caused a
sharp re-action in the market at the
close of the week, and prices declined
sharply. Supplies of old grain are
relatively small, but this will not be
an important factor if the new crop
continues to make good progress.
Cash prices held relaitvely firmer than
future quotations and at the close of
the Market, May 25, No. 3 mixed
corn was quoted at Chicago at $1.04%,
and No. 3 yellow at $1.05-$1.07. No.
! 2 yellow was quoted at St. Louis at
$1.08, and No. 2 white at $1.07V 2 . No.
3 yellow sold at Kansas City
$1.0l%-$1.02, and No. 3 white at 99V 2C
to $1.01; No. 2 yellow at Omaha at
$1.01, and No. 2 mixed at 96 Vjîc.
OATS: The oats market continued
independently firm but the progress
of the crop was more satisfactory and
demand less urgent except for heavy
weight grain. Prices were 2c-3c high
er at the principal markets than a
week ago, No. 3 white being quoted at
Chicago at 69V2C-<2Msc, Kansas City
™c-71c, Minneapolis 64V 2 c-66 5-8c.
BARLEY: The barley market was
fairly steady Wlth sood malting qual-'
ity scarce and in active demand. Feed
ln f grades were dull and export in
quiry was also of limited volume Eur
°P ean buyers have been taking barley
"><*« sparingly recently because of its
relatively high price and prospects of
increased offerings of corn from Ar
gentina. United States e*P<>rts have
^ aden off materially during the past
'iSÄÄ
M t ll J au S e ft9 at 93c - 95c and a * Chicago
at 96c -S 102 per bushel. Feeding
