Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Jan. lo.
Lower cables and fear of the government
report, these were the two depressing lac
tors in wheat to-day. Although Llverpool was
off ssQ&c, this of itself was hardly enough
to cause a material change of sentiment,
since that market has persistently held out
against our strength ever since wheat began
the upturn weeks ago. But the govern
ment report vas the uncertainty. The rumor
had gone out some time ago that the reason
the report was carried over into the ne"
year instead Of being published In December,
was because the department had been Obliged
to raise the figures for the total yield, ana
wished to delay the depressing effect as long
rs possible. This was officially denied anu
it was said the delay was for the purpose Oh
affording comparison with data OF the census
bureau. The reported seml-oHclal au'ioe
that the final estimate of acreage would not
be published, but only the estimated yield
per acre leaving the experts to inquire the To-
tai yield for themselves, added to the uncer-
tainty. Holders Of long wheat even some
who are believers in higher prices later,
thought it advisable to take their profits and
set out for the present. This was the pres
sure the market had to withstand. There
was probably less than the usual amount OF
short selling that precedes government re-
port The last government acreage estl-
mate was for 46,000,000 acres, and by apply
ing the condition in September last the yleld
was made $50, 600 bushels. ~.
May wheat opened ss@12c lower at 1SAc
and sold to 1850, breaking shortly to 'shc.
July opened at SO1sc and broke to 1910. AT
noon the market was frmer and back to 1880
794c for May.
Argentine shipments for the week were
144O 900 bushels against 200 bushels last
week and 7S4 900 bushels year ago.
Primary receipts were $4,000 blu against
635, 900 bu last year, and shipments $4,000
bu against 21l 900 bu. Wheat and -four clear
ances 295, 900 blu. ...
Minneapolis received 491 cars against 451
last year, and Duluth 43 against 26. Local
stocks show Indications OF an increase OF
$50, 900 Blu for the week.
Wheat and -four clearances for the week
were 1857 900 blu against 4,S1S,000 last week
and 1861 900 year ago.
The Modern Miller was bullish as to
southwest crop conditions.
Closing prices: Minneapolis May, 1890;
July SO14 @SOasc; January, 1880; Chicago May

There was little trade in May corn at

SPECULATIVE GOSSIP

Chicago. to Whallon: Country houses still
buying wheat. The southwest is selling it
now.
Paris wheat closes 10 centimes lower
Antwerp wheat closes unchanged.
New York to G. H. F. Smith: No cargoes of
wheat have arrived off coast, compared with
none yesterday. One cargo of wheat is now
waiting at ports of call and offered for sale,
Kansas City wired: Have just had talk with
travelling man for the Western Millars' Co
operative Insurance company and he says
there Is general shortage IL milling wheat
reported all over central and southwest.
LaSalle, ILL.,, wired: The thermometer regis
tered 81 degrees above here yesterday at noon.
Old residents say it was the warmest Janu-
airy weather known here IN fifty years. a
Modern Miller: Drouth conditions are be-
coming serious in the territory west of the
Mississippi river. Complaints are increasing
from Kansas, the territories and Texas, about
dry weather affecting the growing wheat crop.
IN the extreme eastern part of the winter
wheat belt the plant is doing reasonably well.
The advance in the price has brought out
more soft winter wheat in the eastern sec
ton, but farmers in the southwest refuse to
part with their holdings of hard wheat even
at the higher prices. There is no abatement
in the feeding of wheat to live stock.
Milwaukee wired: All orders off at 8 O'clock
government report. We keep open until 30
p. m. to-day On this account.
Verhoef from Milmine: Think wheat in
shape to break. Most everybody has it, and
if it declines, will reach lots OF stop orders.
Much depends on government report issued
this afternoon. l feel that in the spring it
will be much lower.
Broomhall cabled: Weakness at Liverpool
due to expected bearish government report
from America. Weakness IN corn due to
prospects Of rain in Argentine.
Chicago to G. E. Lewis: The wheat market
is quiet but steady. The crowd is waiting for
the government report.

New York, Jan. 10.-Opening prices were

Y, and Amalgamated Copper, Pennsylvania,
st. Louis & San Francisco and Brooklyn
Transit made small gains. Support developed
at other points and there were rallies from
the opening declines. The readiness with
which the market recovered induced the room
shorts to cover and some stocks rallied
strongly. Most of the speculative faVorites
advanced above Yesterdays close, st. Paul,
Amalgamated Manhattan, Missouri Pacific
and Reading gaining small fraction. Sugar
exceptionally rose 13s There was no re-
Spouse in the United States Steel stocks, and
the bears were encouraged thereby to sell the
general list again. Prices all round relapsed
to the opening level except Sugar, which was
maintained around 1913. Near IL O'Clock prices

Traders took profits in Sugar and its de-

Trading then became dull and spirtless, and
there was some setback to the coalers on the

noon dealings became active again and there
