Compared with a week ago, wheat prices this morning showed a tions of the winter wheat territory the past week with some of the dr3 sections in Kansas getting a little, but not sufficient to affect the mar- ket to any great extent.

Within the week there has been considerable demand from across the Atlantic for cash wheat, with prob- ably 5,000,000 bushels of North Amer- can taken tr all positions. Most of this was reported as coming from Canada. The continent bought the bulk of this grain and a large part of It, which is now on ocean passage has been placed. Stocks of wheat here, it was said, are not large enough to care for any increased amount of hedging business. Reserve supplies of European coun- tries were sald to have been greatly diminished and the sudden demand trom there is not causing any geeat surprise.
