Wheat prices reshape outlook for 1904 crop
E W McComas, agent for Northwestern Warehouse Company, says the 1904 wheat crop will be poorer milling quality than last year due to wet weather. He notes a large summer yield but lower milling quality, with prices about six cents for count wheat and around six to seven cents for bluestem, while old crop prices hold a cent or two higher. He adds much wheat has been shipped to eastern points from Oregon in 1908 and 1904, complicating the market.
