The tirst>arrival OF new wheat this season il
this city came to the hands Of I. P. Rumsey &
Co., Saturday, from Southern Illinois, One car
load inspected No. red winter, and sold at 81 05
The other inspected as rejected, because it wa.
going through the sweat, but sold By sample a
| 95c.
The weather Saturday was clearer but very
| cool. Itdid not make much difference to the mar
kets, though it Was reported that the threshine
Of wheat Is delayed by showers in the southern
part OF the State.
Estimates are made to the effect that fully
2,000 600 bu wheat arc ret untitled On the June
deal, and only one day left in which to square
up. There will probably be lots Of litigation
before the Arbitration Committee Of the Board
Of Trade aud the Director
About 100000 bu not 100000, as reported)
wheat has been received from Milwaukee ND to
date. About so much WAS owned by parties
outside the combination in that city. Another
cargo or two will probably arrive Monday.
1t Is stated on good authority that the Mil
Waukee Inspectors make discrimination | ID to
the bu against wheat that has obviously been
cleaned. II must weigh 81 lbs in order to pass
as No. Z, whereas wheat au .adturA is only re-
qujred to weigh IS lbs. This is as it should be,
The market for June wheat advanced another
&c SATURDAY, making the price S1.07. There
we're some rumors to the effect that the figure
would be marked up to $1.08 at noon, but the
r1,Enor was not justified by TIE facts. Some
thought that the liberal offers made in New
York the previous day, to sell at $1.03 for JULY,
had something to do with keeping down the
quotation here, but the surmfse was probably
Eroundlcss. The longs took all the SPOT Bhest
(No. p offered, them at S1.07, and we're willing
sellers at the same figure to all who wanted to
buy for June. The process Of filing was rather
slow, but occasionally round block was pur-
chased, making the aggregate OF transactions
moderately large one. The taking OF yes
sel-room for orer 100000 bu was gen
orally regarded as an Indication that
the parties controlling the deal haye ar
ranged to ship all the wheat out by the middle
OF next month, as intimated in these COLUMNS
1ew days ago. This helped to strengthen the
market for July; it advanced &c per bu. Some
parties believed tosbe outside the combination |
seemed to think that the wheat nov in hand
will be sold at good prices to consumers after |
all. They referred to the reports that Great |
Britain has some three-quarters Of q million |
acres less land seeded to wheat than last rear.
and that the weather in England has been un-
favorable to the growth OF that planted, while
FraEce is behind the average, and Spain reports
! ch4ge for the worse in her prospects for q
wheat harvest. These conditions nav
'ring better European demand for our
Fheat than even that Of the cereal |
ear now closing, and our crop certainly does
lot promise anY better than that Of 1878. er-
cpt in regard to the quality Of the spring part
# it. Either this belief, or the design to run a
orner here in July, must be the reason why
be wheat in the West has been held back 60
ong BY the owners.
