WHEAT RECEIPTS SMALL.

Seven Million Bushels Less Marketed
% This Fall Than Year Ago. :,
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 19.-The Journal
says: The movement Of wheat is very
much less now than a year ago, even
in the spring wheat territory, where
Minneapolis and Duluth are exceeding
their business Of a year ago, but Chicago
is 50 far behind that it leaves the spring
wheat movement 100000 bushels less
than last. year, counting from Aug. L.
The difference is very much more MOTTO
able when the winter wheat markets are
reached. Since July | receipts Of win,
ter wheat at primary markets have been
about one-half Of the receipts for the
same period last year. The situation in
all markets suggests the opportunity for
conservative speculative buying. Wheat
will be wanted before many weeks pass.
