The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-04-12

weak this morning under The imlu-nce
of bearish news and more pacific news
from the Spanish-American trouble. The
presidents message had a tendency 10
make matters uncertain again and The
news from Madrid indicated that Soain
would come to terms soon. The war stu
alton is very unsatisfactory 10 brokers
and we are anxious 10 have it over one
way or the other Heavy shipments OF
wheat from this side the past few days
is likely to have depressing effect when
markets open abroad tomorrow. Weather
could not be better for srops in this
country. Visible supply showed de-
/ crease of only $1,000. which was a sur
prise The bearish sentiment is growing.
/ OF one thing there seems to be GER
/ tainty. We have go 10 have in the next
few DAYS a decided break or 4 decided
advance in wheat. Some of our best Judg-
es of the market look or TIE break. We
rather believe thai after 'ome more weak
ness wheat should be bought
Our market closes tonight at a loss of
nearly one cent, having regained q cent
of the early loss.
Corn ruled weak in sympathy with
wheat. The visible supply showed de-
crease of over 300 900. Some holders
were disposed to realize in the belief that
was war not so imminent The conces-
sions offered by Spain from the result of
the combined influences of the pope and
foreign ambassadors had a depressing ef-
feet on corn, as well as wheat We are
still friendly to the long side of corn.
Provisions ruled weak early, but closed
with some of the loss regained. This
product can not sell off much and will
certainly do better
