"A Chamber Of Commerce.
There was very little desire at the.
start to do much, and later the bear side
was in the lead, keeping 1t most OF the
day. The millers are still figuring on
owning $4,000, 900 bu of cash and optionsi
for May northern. There is not SO
much to be found and they say in April
there may be trouble, when sellers of
Nav begin to figure on deliveries. In,
spite of that there was more May wheat
for sale than there was demand for at
the current figures of the day. New
York wired decidedly firmer feeling,
on the curb, but that market fell later
in sympathy with the West. The
amount of wheat on passage increased
for the week 1,OOS, 900 bu. Chicago was
up on the curb. but even there
was said to be weak, and would
have sold down rapidly on the
opening only for the fear of Fairbank.
Jones, Kennett & Hopkins bought
about 100000 bu later at Sl.071s. but the
market lacked snap when tine clique
was out of it. When the market
dropped to Sl.061a there was fair buy
ing by bears even, for small reaction.
Poole & Sherman stopped the decline at
that, and on reaction to S1.O7 Linn sold
early; Irwin-Green sold considerable.
There was small demand at about
81 .OS3s al .0S3l at the start for May
wheat this morning. and advanced to
S1.O9. The inquiry was soon satisfied
and prices receded to s1.0S9s before II
O'Clock. There the decline was checked
by better demand, but the market
again weakened to S1.O711s5, with dull re-
ports and al easy market quoted from
other domestic points. There was
no news to cause the decline
to-day, but in the absence of
sustaining news easily gravitate toa
lower level. Millers held rather firmly
to their flour quotations, but at the sac
rifice of business. The country move
ment of wheat, from farmers hands.
holds up pretty we'll, though it does not
equal the movement from country ele-
vators to Minneapolis and Duluth; sam
pie tables were again well covered with
wheat, some of it having been offered
for the past few days, and the liberal
receipts only making the market worse
each day. There was some inquiry for
wheat to go down the Milwaukee road,
but the demand from all sources was
extremely limited. In the face of de-
clining speculative markets there was
no disposition to buy cash wheat to
grind. The quality of the wheat of
fered does not improve and scarcely
any No. northern was seen. Prices
ranged from to Sc lower on sales made.
Receipts were 156 cars and SO were
shipped out. Duluth reported 46 OH track.

probably by somewhat easier general
grain markets yesterday. More OF less
went out on past sales, but fresh sales
were reported small. The smaller deal
ers as well as the larger, are carrying
light stocks prepared to meet declines
with the lightest possible loss. They
generally argue that in the end prices
will go down, but just where the end is
they don't pretend to know. They are
determined to keep close to the land,
and say that il flour goes up the rise
will be only temporary; if we have to
pay more. all right, we will buy only
when our customers will take it OFT our
hands. The production will most
likely be small for some weeks yet.
