CHICAGO, April 81. g. Andrews Il
Co., Minneapolis-Dear Sir: Receipts Of
wheat at primary markets are OOO bu
against 10000 last year. Car lots at Min
neapolis. Duluth and Chicago are At against
AL last week and 2o3 last year.
We have several letters from the North
west all saying that the wheat is entirely
out of the country. farmers holding moth
ing and private elevator stocks practically
depleted.
the receipts continue when everybody
knows that every bushel OF wheat has been
shipped out of the country.
The contract stock Of wheat in regular
elevators was increased today by 10000 bu-
Clearances are $4,000 blu. Of wheat and flour.
The amount on passage increased. according
to Broomhall Of the Corn Trade News"
1,67S COO blu.
The big India shipments are q surprise.
The world wheat shipments show con-
81 1eyable amount above the original re-
Quirements, and there is an increase in Liv-
erpool stocks.
Our visible supply shows an increase Of
10000 blu. 1t Is great disappointment to
bulls who had anticipated at least a de-
crease OF million and quarter bu., but 1t
has had no effect upon the market because
there has been enough bullish feeling in the
pit and by enough sentimental buying to
overcome it.
We have the first installment Of crop news
today, the Orange Judd Farmer report, and
1T is what we said Saturday 1t would be.
very bearish as 1T gives the brightest April
conditions since 1891. The others that come
will probably be In the same line. 1t is too
early for reliable ideas of the new crop and
there preliminary estimates should be given
only very moderate weight.
We recognize that all the facts generally
speaking are bearish, but the market is
bulish and We would rather work in
sympathy with market tendencies at this
season of the year than in SYM
mathy with statistics. If we have any
opinion to express 1t will be conservatvey
bullish.
The weather conditions in the Northwest
are not favoring seeding operations For a
week they have had freezing weather which
has prevented or hindered all farm work.
So far there is no indication Of change in
the weather conditions and 1t will prob
ably be a number of days before any i'm
portant farm work is in progress.
Provisions are bearing out what we have
been saying for a long time and show great
strength. They should be bought on every
weak spot. Yours truly,

rushed up stairs, where she was met

not not dangerously, burned about

will recover in few weeks, none the

medical assistance, and found that
the supposed corpse was neighbor,
Michael Martin, who had beeu
thrown from his buggy by a runa-

Washington, Sept. 2s.-A compre-
hensive program for moving troops to
Cuba has been outlined by the war
department and its initial features have
been decided upon. This result is due
TO directions given by the president on
September 10, TO the effect that the
details of troops be made for Cuba.
Acting on this Major General Miles
outlined plan for sending two divi-
sions to Cuba, the first under command
OF Major General Wade, to leave in
October, and the second division, un-
der Major General Fitzhugh Lee, to
leave in November Each division will
embrace about 5000 men, 50 that the
plan is to have some $1,000 troops in
Cuba or on the way there within the
next sixty days. 1t is not contem-
plated, however, that any large num-
Der of this force should be assembled at
any one point in this country or in
Cuba, the desire being to keep them
scattered, as they can thereby be
handled TO better advantage. From
the fact that they go to Cuba it does
not mean that they will proceed di-
rectly to Havana. On the contrary,
the outlook is that there will be very
few troops at Havana, the bulk of them
being scattered through the western
end of the island as garrisons at small
towns, thus gradually putting into
effect the military occupation of the
island.
