The Market Breaks to ~ I'd on a
Final Turn Of Liquidation,
and Then Receivers.
CLEARANCEs HEAVY, 1900 Blu.
Growing Fear of the Short Side

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Feb. 20.
Liquidation continued in wheat this NOR
ming. After yesterdays close at 72ss@i2Ac,

moment, was the more popular one But the

offset the new buying and force May to a
new low point at 72Act
This low point marked the end OF the heavy
pressure The news turned more favorable
and little more confidence was shown. Re-
ceipts at primary points were not SO heavy,
and local receipts were about the same as
last year. 4 full response to our decline
would have meant 1g1Ad lower IN Llverpooi

- At the close to-day sentiment shows a de-
cded change from the extreme weakness OF
the past few days. The market Is now freer
of weak holders than for some time and IN
better shape for buying turn. Even those
who believe that the present price Of wheat
is high are hesitant about selling short, espe-
cally so as the snow covering Is fast dlsap-
pearing over winter wheat. and there Is the
possibility of damage reports coming as the
wheat shows up, while a cold wave tending
southwark would greatly Increase apprehen-
sion At the close to-day there is not much
long wheat left to be forced out, and there IS
considerable short wheat. The market is IN
good condition to advance sharply on any
show OF encouragement.
The cash market showed no very important
changes There was the usual Tuesday quiet
tone and demand. while fair. was not espe-
cially sharp. No. 1 northern sold at 7214W

A GLUT OF WHEAT
Thousands of Carloads of Manitoba
Grain Coming to U. S.
McWILLIAMS RELATES CONDITION
Many Farmers of the Province StliA
Have Their Wheat-All
Bins Full.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 25.-General Su-
perintendent W. H. McWiliams OF the Ma
tonal Elevator company has returned from
a trip to Winnipeg and through Manitoba,
and says the elevators there are glutted with
wheat and the railroads unable to give
them relief. It transpires now that the suS-
gestion made some time ago that large
quantity of the wheat from that province
be shipped to Minneapolis and Duluth i'll
bond, ground into -four and reshipped to Cam
ada, has been adopted.
A local Great Northern official said yester-
day that the Great Northern would carry
about l, 400 cars of Manitoba wheat, the great
er portion of which would go to Duluth, as,
by having it ground there, it would not be
necessary to reship 1t by rail, as it could be
loaded direct on boats The transportation
charges would be much less than would be
the case should the wheat be shipped to Min
neapolis and ground there. 1t is said thai
almost as much will be shipped by the North
ern Pacific.
1t is necessary to have the elevators in
Manitoba empty before the next crop is ready
for market as the prospects for larger
acreage than ever the coming year are very
good. Last fall, and during the entire year,
in fact many of the farmers were greatly IN
convenienced by. the lack of transportation fa-
cilities They were compelled to leave their
wheat in bins in the field in many cases for
several months before they could market it,
and some of them have their wheat still.
This condition exists to greater or less ex-
tent in the northern part of this state, as
the elevators were unable to secure the cars
necessary to handle the grain till the winter
was well advanced Every elevator on all
the branch lines filled to the last bi and
thousands of bushels were hauled to the
smaller towns and dumped in improvised
bins, where it was held till cars could be se-
cured
