The Market Broke to "a $3.50 for
May, but Recovered I-2c
Before the Finish.
FIFTY LOADS TAKEN FOR EXPORT
Sentiment Still Bearish Yet-Fear OF
the Short side Is In
creAsinH.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce, Feb. 20
Wheat fell OF a little more to-day and May
sold at 74$c. This weakness was not unex-
pected and in view of the preponderanee OF
bearisA news the slight dip was taken as EVIL
dense of a firm undertone and as showing
something OF increased confidence. the Price
Current says OF winter wheat this thls is
the fourth week OF continued snow cover
ing. and that there is no material change IN
condition which is fair to good A moderate
increase In the interior movement OF grain
is commented upon All the other news con-
corning winter wheat was bearish, yet 1t was
noted that st. Louis. which has been per-
slstently weak for several days. no longer
led on the weakness, and Chicago wired tnat
there was some early buying there for st.
Louis account. Foreign markets onered little
encouragement Liverpool was Ad lower to
close but was Esd I'D on corn. Paris was
Q fl equal to nearly &c in our money. This
makes q decline equal to 2Ac in Paris Tor the
past week. Traders are beginning to think
it time for some reaction In continental mar
ksts, and Oh the theory that recovery in
Paris might stimulate Liverpool and so work
little strength into our markets they are
more cautious than ever about going short.
Sentiment this morning was as bearish as
ever yet with each lower dip the danger
of taking the short side is increased and
those who are afraid to buy the wheat are
equally afraid to sell it.. .s.---
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels,
against 43o 900 bushels. and shipments $4,000
bushels against 251, 900 bushels. Wheat and
-four clearances equal 1os, 900 bushels. Min
neapolis received 22S cars against 800 last year
and Duluth had AZ against AZ.
Fifty loads were reported taken at the sea-
board This came near the close and started
covering The market rallied and closed firm
at yesterdays figures. Minneapolis May
closed at 74Xc, July 7s1sc, Chicago closed May
at 76h976Ac.
There was not much change in cash wheat
Demand the whole was not quite SO good
us yesterday. The basis of trading showed
no variation Of Importance. No. l northern
sold at 741sc to 75c; No. sold st 1910 to 1890
and No wheat from 70Ac up to 721sc. Re-
jected and no grade ranged from Coo up to TIC.
