Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1929 Weekly Grain Market Review The grain market was steadier at close of August with light receipts as damand showed no material improvement, states the weekly grain market review of the United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Prices generally declined early in the past week but the market became frimer near the middle of this period and prices advanced. Wheat was relatively weaker than feed grains and flax. The unusually heavy stocks of wheat in store, together with the dull export demand, was the principal weakening factor in the domestic wheat market, despite the apparent firm, statistical position of world supply and demand, while lighter offerings of feed grains and unusaul-l- y poor pastures developed a firmer situation in the market for feed grains. Flax was independently frim with good demand, poor crop prospects and higher foreign markets. Conditions in southern hemisphere country appear somewhat more than in recent weeks. 'The drought in Australia has been ...... u y """J j eastern sections although more rain is needed. The first official estimate of the probable wheat acreage seeded in the Argntine is 19,019,000 acres as compared with 20,900,000 acres a year ago, or a decrease of nine percent. This is considerable less than the fifteen per cent reduction indicated in earlier reports and since abandonment in recent years for which statistics are available has varied from 1 to 10 per cent of the average seeded, the harvested are at this season may not be greatly different from other recent years. The critical period of development for the southern hemisphere wheat crop is from the last of September through early November and the outurn this season will depend the -- largely upon weather conditions during these months. Reports of the Canadion crop are indefinite although perhaps a little more favorable than a month ago. A light crop is still in prospect but although some of the grain is light weight, official reports from Alberta, and Manitoba indicate that early threshing returns are shownig considerable good quality grain with fairly good yields in some areas. The yield in Mantioba now 4 seems likely to average around bushels per acre instcady of ll.C bushels indicated at the first of Aug. The crop in all of the prairie provinces, however, is spotty and it will be very difficult to estimate accurately the total Although in some areas the yields are below those of a year ago. German wheat crop is officially placed at 116 million bushels as against 142 million bushels last year and 121 mil-- i lion bushels produced in 1927. The official estimate of th French crop is n of 310 million bushels for an against 278 million bushels last year. Offerings of native wheat in France are somewhat less liberal than in recent weeks with millers only moderate buyers and demand foreign wheats draggy. Latest estimate of the lower Danubian countries indicate a n only about 70 million bushels below that of last season, which is a smaller reduction than was indicated by earlier reports offerings these countries and liberal and these together with continued heavy shipments of high quality whea from the southern hemisphere are important factors in the market situation for North American wheat. Prices averaged about unchanged during the week ending August 30 with foreign demand for domestic wheat which is so needed to reduce the weight of the present spot supply situation, was still lacknig in volume.
