| Scope & content | WHEAT American fears of damage to the winter wheat crop from alternations of freezing and thawing, coupled with the cold wave in Europe, have contributed to a steady week's market at Ohicago. There, the premium for May delivery over the loan basis is now 7c a bushel, but Winnipeg and Buenos Aires futures are fluctuating within a narrow range above the fixed minima; both these markets have to contend ,with an overwhelming weight of domestic surplus supply and arc not particnlady sensitive to outside "constructive" influences. Export business appears to have been of a very minor character during the week. Vancouver bas recently reported a flour demand from China, but some contracts have uot been accepted owing to the lack of shipping facilities. In the United States, the Red Cross is inquiring for flour to be shipped to Spain. No details of British buying aro being publicly disclosed, thou,gh we have little doubt that most o( our orders arc being placed in Canada. F.o.b. quotations of Manitoba are ½cl. lower to ld. per qr. higher ou the week. ·world shipments last week were very small; the total, exclusive of Australia, amounted to 423,000 qrs., compared with 62 ,000 in t.he previous week. |
