Wheat supply and outlook across markets and Europe
The New York Herald notes an estimated 5,000,000 bushels of wheat in far wiche and a potential 25,000,000 overstock critique, while the Cincinnati Price-Current sees exports keeping the season near exhaustion. Government figures show farmers hold 16.3 percent of last year’s crop, 39,000,000 bushels less than a year ago, with scarcity blamed on hog and stock feed demand. European forecasts dampen hopes for a strong wheat harvest next summer as England reports a bleak field and uncertain autumn sowing prospects.
