Wheat stocks hold branch line until April amid car shortage
A. Barnes of Weston reports ample wheat stored at Weston Athena Adams and intermediate warehouses to keep the O R N branch line busy until next April if cars for shipments become available. Yesterday’s price at Weston was 75 cents, with little selling due to car shortage. If cars were available the price could rise to 77 cents amid brisk demand in export centers. Most warehouses along the O R N are filled with the 1907 crop, though marketing is slow due to high car demand in other traffic. It is hoped cars will be released after the Pa louse and Walla Walla districts rush, to enable Umatilla county shipments.
