Chamber OF Commerce.
The weather was cold and ground
frozen this morning, putting stop to
all seeding for the present. Receipts
by shipments. These conditions gave
strong tone in the local market.
Liverpool reported much depression in
breadstuffs, but the effects of it were
more than offset by especial firmneSs
and activity in domestic market all
around quotations from which were
higher and advancing. Some large
lines of short wheat were covered here
Immediately after the opening at 9S11s@
9S}9c. Cargill Brothers bought some
quarter of million Immediately after
the opening. Barnes & Adams sold
considerable as well as Wheeler and
others during the morning at 9S1ac up
to 9914c.
The trading appeared to be largely ON
orders, though local Scalpers were doing
more or less, the same parties being on
different sides at different times of the
day. Following the first rush to buy
there was some desire to realize, when
prices gave way to pretty free offerings,
and part OF the grain was lost. Fresh
figuring on the government report con-
WINGED the bull element that the first
bear impressions derived from it was
really document encouraging to their
interest. The estimated shortage. ac-
cOrding to that document. of 21,00O,000
blu in farmers granaries, 23,00O,O00 bu
less than last year in store at large
points of accumulationS east of the
Rocky mountains, and some 100000
bu less at small elevator, warehouse
and milling points not included in such
estimates, making stocks not less than
60,000,000 bu short on year ago, east of
the Rocky mountains. The first i'm
provement noted in the sample market
for many days occurred to-day, and it
was hailed with SO much joy by receiv-
ing houses that prices of all grade
wheat were at once elevated almost out
| of sight. The cold weather, light re-
ceipts posted and the evident turning
point of speculative markets all served
to stimulate the market for cash wheat.
Outside and local millers, who have
been holding off for a week waiting to
catch the bottom of the decline, fired in
their orders in such volume that the
supply was inadequate, and all wheat
fit to grind found market. Sales
ranged from yesterdays prices to sew
erals cents above on some special lots.
Receipts were rs cars and 80 were
shipped out. Duluth had 43.
The market was firm at 9S(09S11sc
at the start, and, under a good buying
demand. advanced steadily with large
business to 9914c. There was some de-
mand for June and July at about 1c
under May, with few trades on that
basis. After 1890 there was little re-
action. and the market dropped to 9Sslc,.
later reacting sold up to 99c, and at
noon was back to 9S1ac. There was
liberal business through most of the
session. There was no No. hard Of

to 10. 100 bblS, but the out put for to-day
will probably not exceed l4,S00. Trade
was very dull with nothing doing ex-
cepting in small quantities. There was
general impression that the bottom in
the wheat market had been reached for
the time and flour men began to look
forward with rather more confidence of
future activity. The break has brought
with it the usual discouraging reports
from agents with demands for conceS-
sions in prices. Patent sacks to local
