Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Feb. IS.
Another day Of dullness and sagging ten

this exhausting the early strength. Liverpool
closed A@asd lower. Broomhall said in the
early cable. that there was some unsettled
feeling shown there over renewed agitation
regarding the import tax on wheat. Cold
weather in England also had some little effect
for frmness. Reports from the southwest
show that in many places the snow covering
has not gone from winter wheat. Everything
Is looking favorable to date, but with the
snow protection fast disappearing, any cold
weather tending southwark would have erect
Against this, however, is the prediction Of

few cars, and primary receipts ran little

IN Europe and afoat. This is a total de-
crease Of 100000 Blu In the worlds visible,
against an increase of $50. O0O blu at this time
last year.
Primary receipts were 45s0O0 bu. against
600 last year. and shipments 23s.OO0 blu.
against $4,000 bu Clearances wheat and

2lS cars, against ESQ last year, and Duluth
had $50 against So.
Near the close there was flood Of bearish
gossip from the southwest, and st. Louis felt
this. closing relatively below any other mar
