Portland Wheat Market Maintains Prices Amid Strong Purchases
In Portland, a fair volume of wheat buying persists with millers acting on their own accounts. The Portland Flouring Mills company reports purchases of about 76,000 bushels of club and bluestem near 4 dollars 86 cents per bushel. Theodore B. Wilcox, president, notes continued buying. Local values may drop as other centers decline, and future wheat operations may shrink due to reduced oriental flour demand and vanished Pacific coast export trade.
