Show MARCH 14, 1929 BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, Big Southern Shipments Weaken Wheat Market materially increased compared with the amount carried over July 1, 1928. The active competition between wheats from the principal exporting countries in the European markets is being reflected in a Jowering of quotations on these wheats. On March 8, No. 3 Canadian Manitoba sold in Lon- The wheat market continued weak with prices tending downward during the week ending March 9, influenced by the record shipments from the southern hemisphere which competed actively with offerings from North America where stocks are large, according to the weekly grain market report of the U. S. bureau of agricultural economics. The corn market, on the other hand, held generally steady, reflecting the relatively small stocks which apparently are but little remainlarger than the small supply Demand ing at this time last season. and ofcontinued active but receipts ferings were smaller. Oats and barley were independently weak. The supply of both of these grains is materially larger than last year and demand was hardly sufficient to absorb current offerings. Flax declined with cheaper offerings from Argentina, but crushers were taking the limited arrivals freely at the lower quotations. The record shipments of wheat from the southern hemisphere were again the dominating factor in the wheat market Argentine shipments for the week totaled over 10 million bushels of which nearly half were shipped out to be sold enroute or upon arrival. Australian shipments totaled nearly 4 million bushels and nearly half of this amount was on orders. Private estimates of the Argentine crop indicates a surplus for the current season of about 260 million bushels, including a carryover placed at 12 million bushels. This would be about 48 million bushels more than were shipped out last season. These heavy offerings from Argentina and Australia are competing actively with offerings from the U. S. and Canada where stocks available for export are still unusually large. Farm stocks of wheat in the U. S. March 1, according to the official estimate, totaled approximately 149 million bushels, or about 19 million bushels more than a year ago. Market stocks on that date were about 50 million bushels larger than last season. Country mill and elevator stocks, according to private estimates, are 10 million to 12 million bushels larger than a year ago and commercial mill stocks at the first of January were ' about 18,500,000 bushels larger than at the corresponding time last season. Assuming a reduction in the mill stocks during the past two months equal to that of recent years the supply of wheat in the U. .S. is nearly 90 million bushels larger than last season. Canadian stocks of wheat, including these in store in the U. S., total about 36 million bushels more than last season so that North Amer ican shipments during the remainder of the season will have to be much larger than last year or the carry- - don HARDWARE THINK WILSON I OUR : ! : Fronk Chevrolet Co.

Prices of native wheats in the principal European markets also declined 1 to 2 cents a bushel. The cash wheat markets reflected most of the decline in the future price and were generally quoted 2 to 3 cents lower than a week ago. With the exception of best milling grades of Durum and soft winter wheat, prices of which held fairly steady, mill demand for hard winter wheat was fairly active at most central and southwestern markets but offerings of high quality wheat were not large. Scarcity of elevator space continued to be a weakening factor in the Kansas City market and it was difficult to dispose of the lower grades, some of the poorer of which sold as low as 81 cents per bushel; No. 2 hard winter 12 protein was selling in that market at from 3 to 1 cent under the Kansas City May price of $1.18y ; 2 cent 12V , Vt cent under to over and 13 protein at the May prife to 4V& cents over. Storage room at Omaha was also limited but elevators were absorbing the lower grades fairly readily. Mills were taking the lVa and higher protein types at a slightly higher premium over future prices; No. 2 hard winter was quoted in that market at $1.13 to $1.16; Texas mills were bidding $1.29 to $1.30 for 13 protein No. 1 hard winter wheat; $1.31 to $1.36 was being bid for No. 1 soft red mixed wheat delivered gulf ports for export; No. 2 hard winter was quoted f. o. b. New York at $1.37. Scarcity of offerings of red winter wheat strengthened the market slightly for that class of wheat and mills were offering somewhat higher premiums for milling quality; No. 2 soft red winter was quoted at the close of the week at St. Louis at $1.34 to $1.37, Cincinnati $1.35 to $1.36 and Chicago nominally $1.30Ms per bushel. Spring wheat markets continued dull and premiums held about unchanged. Some slight improvement in mill demand was noted toward the close of the week and more cars sold at higher prices within the quoted range. Poorer quality, or slightly damaged wheat was in slow demand; 12 protein No. 1 dark northern was at the May quoted at Minneapolis price of $1.21 to 1 cent over; 13 to 20 5 to 10 cents over, and cents over the May. This represented a decline of about 2 cents for the week; No. 1 dark northern was quoted at Duluth at the Minneapolis May price to 10 cents over. Winnipeg cash prices were somewhat steadier than futures, No. 1 Manitoba northern closing March 8 at $1.26, a decline of 2 M cents, compared with a decline of 3 cents m the Winnipeg May price. The Durum wheat market was relatively firmer than other classes of spring wheat as a result of some improvement in export demand and continued active buying of high protein in quality by domestic mills. Duluth May Durum wheat closed March 8 at $1.08 Ms, or a decline of only V cent fpr the week. Cash prices were steady with No. 1 amber quoted at that mar- ket at 1 to 23 cents over the May and at Minneapolis at the May price to 20 cents over. At the latter market, however, most of the offerings were selling at the May price to 10 cents over; quotations on Durum in French and Italian markets were advanced 1 to 2 cents per bushel, American Du rum being quoted c. i. f. Marseilles at $1.39 and at Genoa at $1.38 per bushel. Pacific coast markets continued quiet. Some parcel space was avail able at Portland at relatively low prices and some small parcel export sales were reported. The bulk of Pa cific coast exports, however, is being made from Vancouver, where wheat is reported to be offered about 3 cents below prices of United States wheat for shipment from west coast markets. Export white wheat was quoted at the close of the week at Portland 1-- , "Everything to Build Anything" Phone 11. ... 1 used. The guests included Mr. and j Mm.

Tremonton Phone 9 here Saturday Of interest to every car owner: statement of General Motors' Policy by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., 'President 'THE public has been visiting the automobile shows in the larger cities of the country jto see new models. Suppose you could drop a curtain over the 1929 automobile shows and raise it immediately upon the shows of ten years ago. How vividly the changes would then appear! Go back five years, or even three, and the contrasts are amazing. So fast have the improvements followed one another that every year has offered you more for your automobile dollar in performance, in comfort, in safety, in beauty and in style. Never was this fact quite so impressive as in the cars now on play. This is real progress, and inevitably General Motors has been a leader in it. You cannot have hundreds of engineers, in one organization, thinking and working day and night without knowing more about making automobiles than was known the year before. You cannot have great Research Laboratories, the Proving Ground and the unmatched resources and skill of Fisher body without developing constantly better processes and new ideas. The patronage of the public makes possible all this machinery of betterment;,so the public is entitled to each improvement as promptly as it has been proved. In this way came the the closed body, durable Duco finish, four wheel brakes. By the same process one of the remarkable feats in industrial history has just been effected: Chevrolet has been transformed into a car within self-start- er, six-cylin- the price range of the four almost overnight. Similarly, the new brakes and transmissions of Cadillac and LaSalle are a fundamental improvement; while the new models of Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland and Pontiac all represent values that could not have been offered before. Such progress, born of the in- herent ambition of an organization of active minds to do better and to give more, is of benefit to all. It offers you more for your money with each succeeding year. It gives you more value for your present car when you trade it in. This is our policy This is real prog ress. 1 ALFRED P.
