ANOTHER HIGH POINT TOUCHED in NAY WHEAT
The Bulls Ran the Market Up to
70 1-2c Near the Close Senti-
ment Very Strong.
NO HEAVY RAINS ANYWHERE
Bad Reports From the Southwest
Flour and Feedstuffs
Advance.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, April
lit was another bull day in wheat. May
opened 3@Rc higher at 1890 and by IL
o'clock the market had worked UP to 1850.
731&c. The rains reported over Iowa near the
close yesterday did not show up on the
weather map this morning. There were rains
in Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma. but they
were very light. The forecast was for fair
and warmer weather for Kansas, Nebraska,
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa, day,
and for generally warmer weather Friday.
The market was very active and nervous,
more So than yesterday. Bull sentiment
grew somewhat over night. and there were
new buying orders in the pit at the opening.
Chicago and Minneapolis We're Independently
active and subject more to local buying in
fuences. Chicago sold to 75c while Mime
apolis May stuck around 73c, but later Min
neapolis May sold TO I33Sc with Chicago
around 74&c. In this market there Is even
more pronounced bu!lish feeling than in the
outside for the that in addition to
the lack of moisture southwest which is the
main influence, there Is the strong local cash
situation, and little run of unfavorabie
news as to seeding conditions in south cen
trail Minnesota where the soil is very dry.
All this Is tempered by feeling of eau
tiousness and fear that good rains would
take the edge off all around. Without rains
soon the bulls expect active buying to con-
tinue. '..
Some Of this mornings reports were very
bad. The trade took them with the proper
allowance but they were a help to strength
Cawker City, Kansas, wired that wheat in
that vicinity Is in critical condition and with
out good rains much of It will be
plowed up. Little Rock, Ark, wired the same
thing. Hayward of Kansas says that the
state will not raise over 10000, 600 bushels
unless conditions improve very much, which
requires good rain. The Price Current says
cool weather has been retarding winter wheat
growth, but that general prospects are still
fairly good, although there is insufficient
moisture.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels
against 361, 900 bushels and shipments 403, 900
against 177000. Wheat and flour clearances
equaled 247,000 bushels. Minneapolis received
139 cars against 1888 last year, and Duluth
had % cars against IS. ~ -.t. ~
The market eased off a little about noon,
but near the close was strong again on new
buying and Minneapolis May made a new
high pon. at 791ac. May closed at 73Ssc, July
74as@74Ac, September 727sc. Chicago May
closed at 741ac.
In the cash market there was demand for
wheat to arrive and sales Of No. northern
and No. on that basis. For No. to arrive
75c paid some trades and 7A1kc on
others. For No. 2 northern to arrive the
range was 1885 to 73c. The cash market was
naturally Il little unsettled owing to the err
ratio option. The spot wheat was cleaned
up promptly. No. 3 sold at 71A to 721ac and
no grade from 60 to re.

Pig iron BUYING.
This is Now Restricted to Urgent
Requirements.
FOUNDRY AND BEssEMER HIGHER.
Line of Finished Iron
and Steel.

New York. April 17.-The buying Of pig
iron is restricted, says the Iron Age, to
urgent requirements since the greater
number Of the foundries have now COW
cred their requirements far into the fu-
ture. The paper adds:
In some cases apparently the profit obtain
able by reselling is too tempting and odd
lots are coming into the market in that way.
In both foundry and Bessemer iron prices
are from So to So above the official" figures
which have ceased to be any basis of current
transactions. The attempt:to feel the foreign
market by inquiries for round lot of Besse-
mer pig has developed the fact that no iron
can be laid down in this country, duty paid
at prices anywhere, near the market and the
effort to seek relief in that direction has been
abandoned
The steel rail situation is we'll reflected by
the fact that recently a 10000 ton order was
placed in Germany for a trolley road in New
York state, the rails fetching s32 ex-ship as
against $2s at the mill, the official quota
ton. AS matter of fact rails for relay
have been sold by railroads at s2S. There
have been large offerings ofgield steel rails
from Europe.
In the heavy line of finished iron and steel
the reports continue extremely fayorable. Tho
tonnage of structural work which is being
closed Is large. Thus, this week, seven new
buildings in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Brooklyn call for 1900 tons OF material and
some large additional contracts are in sight.
The plate mills too, are being pushed. Orders
are being placed. in some instances sor 1903
delivery. In the pipe trade interesting
contract involves 1000 tons of pipe for an
oil lne which is to be followed by 3,000 tons
more Pressure for deliveries on bars sheets,
wire and other lighter lines continue.
