Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1929. WEEKLY GRAIN MARKET REVIEW Grain Markets were unsettled dur- ing the week ending May 25 with crop conditions and prospects becoming more important factors in the market situation, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Winter wheat continued to make favorable progress in the U. JS. and condition of spring wheat was reported generally good, although warmer weather is needed for both domestic and Canadian crops. Weather in the corn belt turned more favorable toward the last of the week and planting was progressing rapidly. This together with only a moderate demand was weakening factor in the corn market, oats and barley held fairly steady while flax continued firm with a further slight advance in prices, The rye market was quiet but fairly steady as result of light offenugs. There were no important changes in the general wheaet market situation. Both winter and spring crops were making generally favorable progress, although warmer weather would be beneficial in many areas, both in North America and Europe. World shipments continue large, particularly from the Southern Hemisphere. Argentine shipments for the week totaled over 6,500,000 bushels and offerings of this wheat in Europe are limiting the demand for North American wheat. A reduction in frieerht rates ranging from about 2 to 7c per bushel was approved Dy me u. interstate Commerce Commission during the week. These reductions apply to shipment of wheat from central western markets to Atlantic and Gulf ports and may place the U. S. wheat upon a more favorable basis for competition with exports from other courtries. Offsetting to some extent this reduction in frieght rates, however, was an increase in the wheat import duties in France and Italy amonuting to 19V2c per bushel in the French duty and about 18c per bshel in Italian rates. Quotations of foreign wheat in European markets were further reduced during the week. On May 24 No. 3 Manitoba for May shipment was quoted in Liverpool at $1.25' and U. S. wheat from the Pacific coast; at $1.2614 ; 63 lbs. Rosafe wheat from Argentina, however, was quoted at $1.15 and Australian wheat ft $1.26 per bushel. Wheat: Cash wheat markets were irregular vith futures but premiums on milling wheat held generally steady mills were taking choice protein wheat readily at Kansas City and elevators were absorbing the lower grades. Demand was of sufficient volume to take care of current offerings. At the close of the week No. 2 hard winter 12 protein was quoted at Kansas City at 2 to 6c over the 4 to 8c July price of 97 c; 12 over and 13 8 to lis over the July; elevator stocks were reduced over 500, 000 bushels at that market during the week. Considerable wheat was reported sold at Omaha for export as a result of the lower rail and barge rates effective in the next few days; No. 2 hard winter sold at that market to 99c per bushel; May 24 at 97 receipts at Wichita increased somewhat during the week with farmers and country elevators disposing of their grain to make room for the new crop. A good demand for wheat was reported at Ft. Worth- with mills and principal buyers; No.- 1 hard winter 13 protein was quoted delivered Texas common points at $1.10 per bushel; No. 1 soft red mixed was quoted delivered at Gulf ports at $1.09 per bushel. The market for soft winter wheat was dull and prices declined 1 to 2c per bushel with offerings slightly larger and demand slow. The larger receipts at Kansas City were mostly being applied on previous sales and were not benig offered on the trading floor.
