today. Spencer, Moore & Co., who bid the
No. 1 northern price to No. hard yester-

wipe out the premium on No. hard wheat.

mand for No 1 hard at a premium over No.

slowly today Shippers say they can't pay the

MINI EAPoLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 4-The local wheat
market opened tame and weak this morning
and gave little indication of activity in any
quarter, and its course after the opening was
irregular, with the tendency to weakness
during the greater part of the morning ses-
sion. The markets course is q complete puz-
zle for the trade, and each individual trader
wonders why the other fellow does not do
something. The trading of the first hour and
q half resulted in a net decline of full
cent, with a tendency towards lower prices
The news OF the day was calculated to. suit
both sides of the market. The Mark Lane
Express reported the English crop as con-
siderably less than average one and
weather unfavorable, and the French crop
from Omaha stated that the prospects for a.
good crop are excellent and that the wheat
acreage will be fully rs per cent larger than
last year Manitoba reports larger area
sown, with the soil in excellent condition
The same is said of the three Northwestern
states. California reports were contradictory
some advising of rain, others that the drought
still continues in the wheat growing sections
New York advised of over 800, 600 bu taken for
export yesterday. Chicago advised that the
professional crowd was hammering the mar
ket hard: also that there was some good buy
ing at the decline. From Duluth shippers
declare that they have bought the wheat for
May delivery, and will simply walt for its
delivery and insist upon it, and others are
wondering still more where thew are poino
to get it.

NORTH DAKOTA CROPS.
An Excellent Week for Farm Work
Is Reported.

Is Reported.
Special to the Globe.
: BISMARCK, N. D., May 4-The
weekly crop bulletin issued today says:
Although the first part of the week was
unusually cold, and in many places the
ground froze quite hard, yet it was
excellent for farm work, as the latter
part was warm and pleasant, and
wheat seeding has progressed rapidly.
A fair estimate shows that nearly one
half Of the wheat has been sown, and
in many places that the first sown Is
up and was not damaged any by the
freeze. High winds prevailed most
of the week, and in some sections did
little damage by blowing the seed
out of the ground, but as a general
thing the soil is so well saturated with
moisture that this was only possibly
on high, sandy ground. On low lands
these high winds were of great benefit
in drying them out, and at the present
time, except in the immediate vicinity
of the rivers where bottoms have been
overlooked, most of the low lands will
be in condition to be worked the last
of this week. All reports agree that
the ground was never in better cendi-
ton than now and that the wheat
acreage will be largely increased over
that of former years.
