CLOSING.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 13.-Wheat
halted and hesitated this morning AMI
dragged along in Nc range. There was
no decided tendency either way at first.
but after a time the bearish news, Of
which there Was plenty, began to have
effect, and May broke to 7340733sc be-
fore noon. More rains were reported in
Kansas and that state was bearish on
every news item sent out. One sucn
item claimed that only one-third of the
last crop of Kansas has been marketed
and that the rest is in the hands Of
farmers and will come on the market
later with d rush. This no doubt had
some effect, although it was taken with
due allowance. The Rock Island and the
AtchiSon roads had out reports in which
they said that crop conditions along their
lines are very favorable. The Price Cur
rent says March thus far has been favor
able to wheat and that in the main 1t is
fairly good and showing sufficient mois-
ture for the present. Receipts in the
Northwest We're larger than the last year
Liverpool closed sd up, but Paris was
off equal to 112c. 1t was reported that
New York exporters had bought 40O,6O0
bu of Manitoba wheat, and that they
bought as much yesterday and that Man
itoba wheat is constantly pressing for
sale at the export markets.
Primary receipts were Az bu against
461 000 blu last year, and shipments 244,00O
blu, against 500 900 bu. Wheat and -four
