The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-03-29

Wavering. The Price Current says wheat
maintains its good conditions under ia
Vorable weather Influences; that the
amount OF winter wheat killed is much
less than usual. and the recent wet
weather has been unfavorable for fly de-
velopment. Against this there is some
Improvement apparently of a permanent
nature in the general cash wheat situa-
ton. 1t is believed nearly all of the
poorer wheat has been marketed, there is
wider outlet for the low grades, and it
is natural to expect that receipts will
run lighter as soon as seeding begins.
In connection with this any increase IN
exports inquiry, or firmer tone abroad,
would hold the market and giF.s the OPP
portunity for an upturn; but Liverpool
is in a worse run than the American
markets, and drags along almost I'M
