OTHER GRAIN MARKETS
CHICAGO GRAIN
Predictions of Rain Are Interpreted
in IL Bearfsh Light.


Chicago, March 20.-The weather map made
speculation In grains at the opening to-day
much q matter of guesswork. There were
light showers reoorted in Kansas and that
state was overcast, indicating possible relief
to the winter wheat big drains. At least,
most of the local crowd looked at the predic-
tons in 'bearish light. Gables were lower,
though not quite so responsive to our bear
market yesterday. May opened 7s@ssc lower,
at 74c to 73%c, on moderate selling, but met
fair support at the lower figure and reacted
to 144741sc. This strength held but short
time and the crowd began selling again.
Longs We're unloading some stuff, and May
sagged again to 1870. Local receipts were p
and Dnuth r re- sss ears or ss for the
three points. against 422 last week and 4ss :;
year AGO.
Louis and Kansas City on rains in the south
west caused bad break shortly after the
first hour st. Louis was at one time 21sc

Here May broke to 7314c. Exceptionally heavy
business was done at the low prices, especial,
ly in cash. New York reported 80 loads and
this market sold so for export. On this bust

was yesterday. little later reports of light

market eased again and May steadied around
Gle. REGENTS were light at Y cars.
May slumped with wheat to. 60A @6Ossc.

New York Reported LII Loads for
Export-Good Flour Business
News OF the Day. q

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. March
2o-The bears fell upon the wheat market
Z again to-day and on sharp raid Jared out
8 enough wheat to force May to Tic. AL! mar
kets were weak. Chicago leading the general
decline. Quiet and very dull was the open
ing here. Trade was light. Considering the
lower cables and another bearish weather pre-
dlction, the market held fairly we'll. 1t was
claimed that foreigners were moderate buyers,
and some Of the larger Chicago houses took
the buying side on the weaker turns at hrst.
May opened unchanged at 719sc, sold off a
traction, but was stubborn. Then Chicago
began to drop, the decline became general
and the new low point was reached. Corn
! and oats were very weak and this helped
along the slump III wheat.
Liverpool closed SD lower.
The Price Current says the winter wheat
crop is still fairly good, no better than
heretofore, and possibly moderately less
favorable.
Primary receipts We're 537, 900 blu, against
s tS7, goo bu aud shipments 10000 Du, against
. $4,000 Blu. Clearances, wheat and Aour'
amounted to 701, 600 bu. Minneapolis had 24S
cars, against S34 last year, aud Duluth had
VI. against 43.
Lohrke wired from New York that better
conditions are noted in the export trade as
result of the decline. Duluth reported export
inquiry. The most encouraging things was
message from prominent house in VIM
nlpeg. Fhey reported the largest business
ever known in Manitoba wheat for the past
ten days. The premiums have been advan-
cling, and offers for 500, goo blu were received
{ to-day at the highest figure OF the season.
Inc cleaning out OF any considerable guam
tity OF Manitoba wheat should be a help to
American sentiment, but the most encour-
aging thing about it is the narrowing of the
differences. Manitoba wheat has been sell
ing 5Q8c under American wheat, but, with
the increasing demand for it and the declines
in American markets, the two are now closer
together. At this writing Minneapolis May
around Tic is 4ac under the price on this
day last year.
New York came in the close with re-
ports Of ia loads taken.
The market turned near the close and
jumped back up to re for May on covering
and good buying in general. May closed at
72c; July at 731a@74c: September, 717sc. Chi
cago May closed at 741s@7414c.
Cash demand was good and there was no
special changes noted from yesterday, except
for little dragging on No. 3 and lower
grades. The most Of the trading was done
when the May option was around 71as97112c.

LOGIC.
Puck.

Once upon time there lived woman
who was logical
Curiously enough, she was likewise
beautiful and moderately wealthy, and in
the fullness Of time a sutton came and
asked her hand in marriage, after the
usual formula.
''If you love me as much as you say
the woman, being logical, was fam to
reply, you are fool; If you don't, you
are knave!"
This fable (for of course, it is fable,
teaches that things are far better as they
are. it being assumed that marriage Is,
on the whole a good thing.

New York to Whallon. Case & Co.: An in
and out market is what we expect for the
present. When the bears oversell they be-
come the target, and this is true when the
local bulls become too bold. The large Dor
rowing of Copper accounts for it's strength
If this Is all shortage it is lot Of stock to
think there will be no more such sky-rocket-
ing as we experienced yesterday.

THE FLOUR MARKET
Good Business To-day and In
creased Foreign Sales.

creased Foreign Sales.
More business was entered to-day than on
any day for several months. A good
part of it foreign business. Millers are
now talking much more hopefully and be-
lieye that good business and heavy grinding
is assured for~some time. 1t is not so much
the actual increase in sales that makes the
outlook better the fact that, on the present
wheat price, milers pretty close to an
export basis and are able to figure low enough
to capture occasional good export order,
which heretofore they have been compelled
to turn down. With this there is also an
increased domestic inquiry.
Shipments for the day were 50, 814 brls
