The Wheat Market Still Wenk-NO
encouragement From AbrOad-The
Corn Visible Increase a Factor,


MINNEAPOLIS CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE, Feb u.-Ths morning the local
speculative crowd We're at sea. They hardly
knew what to do. Cables were expected to
show reflection of the strength shown
here on Friday and Saturday. In this they
were sadly disappointed Liverpool first ca
bles quoted wheat at 12d lower and Lon
don, Sd lower per quarter
On home conditions they felt bulish but
foreign conditions they were non-plussed
Together with these conditions, there was
almost a total lack of outside orders, hense
a weak and featureless market Clearances
from the Seaboard was very light, both of
wheat and -four, and moreover. New York
advised that foreigners were free sellers
Chicago also reported that New York
houses were free sellers in that market
The visible supply statement showed a de-
crease OF l,05i,000 bushels for the week,
which was about what the trade generally
expected. It's posting, therefore, had no APP
preciaDle effect. The increase on passage
of 100000 bushels a weak fea ture but
the increase of $4,000 bushels in the stock
or visible corn was a greater factor in
weakening the market value of wheat.
Nearly every trader expected a decrease of
100000 or 100000 bushels in the visible
supply. Germ has been the leader for some
days. It's weakness affected wheat
