Milling Prospects

If flour buyers have gained theimpression that the mill of St Louisand the Southwest will not haveplenty of wheat wheatof good qual-ity

¬

and wheat at competing priceswe can assure them that they willspeedly find their mistake and learnto the contrary that the outlook of

the milling year in the Southwest isdecidedly good

St Louis and the adjoining millshave to the west of them abundanceof wheat Kansas has magnificentprospects with nothing to interferebut a wet harvest which at presentis not promised The quality ofKansas and Oklahoma wheat and agood part ot the Illinois and Mis ¬

sissippi crop will make the South ¬

west a strong competitor and weare sure that time will prove thisassertionWith

1903 crop harvested indry condition there should be available for the mill of the whole winterwheat belt plenty of supplies of softwheat and hard wheat for the entireseason True in localities the flooddamage will be felt Here wheatwill have to be shipped in insteadof delivered locally but happily thecrop west is superb and the mills arealong the line of the natural way toprincipal buying markets Samplesof new cut wheat from centralIllinois are on exhibition and areexceptionally fine

There is damage by flood and sec ¬

tions have suffered but the govern-ment

¬

report as a bases does notwarrant the belief that a falling offin the results mean a shortage

Speculators especially in the StLouis market have unduly coloredevery local report It was rightand proper that the damage byflood should be reported by this itdoes riot mean that any mill statewas crippled

Elsewhere in this issue is printeda communication from Mr F EKauffman which we believe will setat rest some of the reports that havebeen sent out by speculators whohave misrepresented the situationso grossly that it is time to call ahalt A blind pool of speculatorshave manufactured news and ex ¬

aggerated the crop damage so per¬

sistently in order to draw countrytraders into tins marketthat it isquite time to prick the bubble

The countryman did not respondwith his buying orders and the blindpool is in a fair way to go to pieces

Small contract supplies theprospects of late deliveries and ex ¬

aggerated reports with talk ofdollar wheat have maintained thepool intact but the pool will lose itseffect in ample time to put theSouthwest on its legitimate basis

The trade should understand thisand Mr Kauffmans letter is timely
