Should condi- tions change and a brisk demand for wheat spring up the trade will change front quickly. A few en goged cargoes would bring about this reversal of conditions. Repo:ts from the Northwest are very encourag- ing. It is claimed thai the wheat acicage of the | Dorthwest is 20 per cent larger than last vear, but it must be remembered last year's acreage was smalier than usual, 0 account of a ver, late season in North Dakota, OWiDg to_excessive rains 1roa: the middle of April until the last of May.
