Statistician to the Board of Grain commissioners on the movement of Western Canadian Grain crops in october 1927 Fine weather was general throughout the Prairie provinces during a Large part of the Mouth enabling threshing to be resumed and every Effort directed towards its completion before the Advent or Winter. The Fine warm weather dried out much of the Grain also and the effect of this was seen m a substantial reduction Ollie proportion grading no Grade for excess Mois Ture find a corresponding increase in the volume of contract grades. By the end of the month it was estimated about 80 per cent of the Saskatchewan and 70-75 per cent of Alberta wheat crop had been threshed. At least weeks of Fine dry weather was then still necessary in order to permit the completion of threshing. Unfortunately this has not a yet materialized rain and show having in most districts. The condition of a Large the Milf Tori f t -rl1, which came a Dily la North w l wave is when will the Low Point be reached weekly Grain Market review Winnipeg nov. Prices show net gains of 2140 to 1 in for the six clays trading ending Friday with the. November option leading the strength. past week has Bocen one. Of very narrow markets and Dull Trad ing. Exporters have been nibbling in the wheat Market each Clay but their buying har at no time been aggressive it has been persistent enough to be Able to take care of the wheat being offered for and in that Way Bias Heid the Market steady. Hedging pressm a has not been heavy on any Day and that has helped very considerably to maintain present Levels. The importing world still appears to be holding off until More is known of the Argentine crop and for that reason Export sales of Canadian wheat disappointing for this time of the year. The Cana Dian Pool is credited with doing a Good business Curkeet bit figures Are difficult to obtain. Holidays in markets on different Days this past week have upset foreign business somewhat. Canadian markets closed .011 nov. 7 for thanksgiving Day. While the United states and Argentine markets observed a Holiday on armistice Day latest news from the Argentine states that the wheat and flax crops in the extreme North of that county Are being Cut and the Sample of wheat is quite Good although flax is poor. The Harvest will extend to the Central provinces within the next two but the Southern crops will not be ready for the binders before december. Growth in the province of Buenos Aires is very backward but Tho Plant is said to be healthy. Present prospects Are for another big crop the third successive on in the Argentine but the Southern provinces will Bear watching during the remaining part of this month. Movement of the new crop in. Canada is still very heavy despite unfavourable weather in the Prairie provinces in the past two weeks. Country deliveries during the past week amounted to More than bushels of wheat and the total for the season August 1 to november 10, inclusive is bushels. This total is Only about bushels Short of last year s figures at this time which were 000 bushels. The grading of Tho receipts in the past week or so has not been quite so Good but the contract grades Are still commanding a Good Lead Over the no Grade cars. No. 1 Northern is still a very precious article and is coming along in Mere handfuls. Tie season s inspections show Only 2.03 cars of no. 1 nor., As compared with of no. 2. Cars of no. 3. And 12.162 of no. 4. The total number graded no Grade since August 1. Is 33.090 cars. The Canadian government report issued last Friday showed a reduction of about bushels in the wheat crop of All Canada As compared with their september estimate. Tho latest figures which arc based on threshing returns Are bushels of wheat of which bushels is Spring wheat. The final outturn for All Canada last year was about bushels coarse grains there has been a very Active demand for Oats in the past week some being Export business and some Domestic. Barley has also been in Excel Lent demand for Export although there has been a. Tapering off in the last few Days. Germany has been a buyer of both Barley and Rye from Canada. The Rye Market his perhaps been the most Active of All coarse grains. The Low Grade Cash article is Selling Well and there has been a much better interest in the futures. Export sales of Rye have been quite heavy and it is stated that supplies in Canada Are fast Dis appearing. Flax has exhibited strength but not account of any business. The Eide Auto in prices has been in sympathy with upturns in other markets. Oats prices for the week Are to higher Barley is 4540 to higher and Rye Mac to higher. Flax values have advanced to 4vic in the seven . Volume of Grain is still Uncertain in consequence. Following the resumption thresh intr deliveries at country Points assumed record breaking proportions. Yet such Are the facilities for handling it at elevators and moving it by rail that it was absorbed and the terminals with the greatest dispatch. New records Ara going established Over All stages of the movement and ample tonnage available at nil there would appear to of no reason Why the total volume moved to thu close of navigation should not equal that of other years despite the late Ness of the season and delay to thresh ing. European demand Cood. With the arrival it terminal Points of a larger volume of contract or Aries. The demand from overseas could be met and Ehl ments have increased substantially. There is a Good demand for the Best grades of wheat for euro Pean importers and Good quantities of both Rye and Barley Are being exported to the continent. Eur Naan requirements of High Grade wheat Rire said to be quite Large and the demand for Canadian wheat should continue for some time. The comparatively Small proportion of 1 and 2 Manitoba Northern wheat and the favor in which these grades Are held resulted Iii continued High premiums being paid for them.
