SPECULATIVE GOSSIP

Verhoeif, from Milmine: l think July wheat
Will work to stronger premium over May;
certainly will if not an increase in the expor.
trade; market higher or cold turn in weather
and Kansas report rather bu!lish. giving con-
dition 20 and decrease in acreage longs wei;
shaken out and have had q good big break:
II any improvement in export trade | would
say to buy it for a turn, but as it is am or
the fence.
Clearances: Wheat and flour, $4,000 Blu;
corn, 1900 bu; oats, $1,000.
New York wired Cables steady but no i'm
provement in demand; no acceptances and
BIDS are fully cent out of line.
Russia and Danubian shipped about $50
600 Blu wheat last week, against less than
100000 previous week.
Chicago wired: Brokers who usually repre-
sent Armour & Co. were large sellers of july
wheat here this morning.
Berlin close, wheat, sc lower; Budapest,
17ac lower.
:, Chicago to Thomas & Co.: Heavy rain at
Fort Worth, Texas and rain in Oklahoma;
clear elsewhere There is drop in the tenn
peratures but nothing above normal. Clear
west and southwest at a. m.
Chicago to Watson: l have it on pretty
good authority that the buyer of the 1,00e, $50
blu wheat at Duluth Friday was the elevator
man who originally sold it to the Chicago
house. The latter made a good thing on the
spread, as it sold against 1t here when it
bought the wheat at Duluth, and the elevator
man up there made carrying charges: This
is in keeping with my suggestion at the time
the business was reported.
Bingham wires that cargo of 100000 bu
wheat at Philadelphia has been sold to the
United Kingdom.
johnson, from McReynolds: Dry weather
is the principal factor No selling pressure
and steady.
Broomhall cahled-The opening this morning
was inactive and unchanged but later prices
steadied Is on the posting of the American
shipments which were smaller than expected.
There was some selling by outsiders, however
and at 1:30 p. m: prices were * lower and
unchanged from the opening for the near and
distant options respectively.
Corn opened Il lower, rejecting the declines
in America Saturday. Later in the session
both months recovered, is on covering by
shorts.
Paris close-Wheat, 8 centimes higher; -four
unchanged to 10 centimes higher.
Antwerp wheat closed unchanged.
Loirke wired Export outlook very poor.
No acceptances reported and few bids entirely
out of line on this advance.
New York to Whallon Case & Co:-Liverpool
cables their wheat and corn markets are
iuctuating and uncertain. Shipments to
their market are large and too heavy to allow
any advance just yet
New York to G. E. Lewis:-I believe some
tired holders and people, who have been try
ing to bull wheat the last few days will let
go before government report. There. is abso-
lutely nothing bullish in sight at home or
abroad at present

NO CHANGE IN GENERAL SENTIMENT in WHEAT
The Week Opens With Conditions
Still Favoring a Slow and
Weak Market.
MAY FROM zoe TO 50 ia AND s-sc
More Favorable Crop Reports COM
inH-General News of the
Grain Trade.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce. April l.
The week opened in wheat with frmer
feeling. and May fractonally higher at 69Aq
$3.50. A few trades We're made up to zoe,
when the market turned quiet and dragged
along in the small range. Not much trade
was done locally, and Chicago had a very dall
period for the first hour. The market weak
ened later and at noon sold under 69lac.
Colder weather and light receipts in the north
west were the incentives for the early lrm-
ness. Worlds shipments were large, and
there was bearish report In the Chicago
morning papers, covering winter wheat Ca
bles showed no important change and at the
close Liverpool was 1sGAc higher than Satur-
day. Texas had good rain, the map showing
LIE inches around Fort Worth, and the pre-
cipftation extended into Oklahoma. AS TO
Kansas it is now claimed that the outlook is
for a. yield fully UP to last year. The area
originally planted Is estimated at 5,SSS, 900
bushels and this the Record Herald estimates
to have been reduced fully 100000 acres by
drought, leaving 4,SSS,ooO acres, or about
4Q0,0 900 less than last year. Over this area
the average condition is placed at zoe. In
the regular Monday morning statistics the
item OF wheat on passage showed no change
the quantity standing at 46,330,000 bushels
The visible supply decreased by 1,206, 900
bushels, making the present Total As, 900
bushels.
WorloS shipments last week totaled $685. OO
bushels compared with 5,2S2, 900 bushels in the
previous week, and 100000 bushels year
ago. America shipped !, 446, 900 bushels, Rus
sis l, 10000 bushels and the Danube ZOOS, 900
bushels. India shipped $4,000, Argentine
10000, and Australia $50, 600 bushels.
Primary receipts were SAC, 900 bushels against
69l, 900 bushels last year. and primary ship
ments $4,000 bushels against 1872, 900 bushels
Olearances wheat and -four equaled 49,, 900
bushels jpSt
s2S last year, and Duluth had 80 against $780,
The market closed irmer and on recovery
from the low point. May closed at 69AQ
Ss1sc; July at 7O7sc and September 691sc. Chi
eago May closed at 71A@71ssc.
The cash market showed the usual Monday
activity. There was demand for all good
wheat. Scarcely any No. 1 northern was
seen on the tables, receipts running to No. 2
and lower grades. No. 2 northern sold at
ssMc to 7oAc. No. wheat from 6S1ac to
SsAc. Rejected and no grade sold from Csc
to Csc.

John G. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank says: The idle talk of Wall
street that the First National Bank Of New
York and the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
are supporting or encouraging Mr.. Gates and
other western men in an alleged effort to
bull the stock market is altogether ,gratuitous
myself are interested in what Mr.. Gates or
others may do in Wall street. We have not
been asked to loan dollar to any of them.
Chicago to Watson: It is stated that the
floating supply Of Biscuit stock has been re-
duced more than so per cent since the last an
nual statement. Absorption has been by the
best class of investors.
New York to G. E. Lewis: Impression here
is that the Gates people are selling their stock
and Moores moderate buyers / understand
no love-is lost between these two western
crowds.
New York to Edwards, Wood & Co.: Ameri-
cans in London heavy. Crop news fairly ia
yorable. Anthracite labor position unchanged.
Rock Island new issue intended for extension
from Fort Worth to Galveston. Keene expect

AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS
Those of 1900 Exceeded by Over
$lOO.OOO.OOO in 1901.

Washington, April THE department OF
agriculture has issued statement of the for
eign trade OF the United States in agricul-
tural products. 1t shows that during the fis-
cal year 1901 foreign countries purchased
American farm products to the value of
1852 600, 900, representing the largest agricul-
tural exports in the history of the country
Compared with the record for 1900 they show
an increase of over 500, 600 600. Agricultural
imports On tae other hand, show marked
falling off when compared with the previous
year. The various agricultural products re-
celved from different sources during 1901 had
an aggregate value of only 1892 O00, 600, or
SIS, O00,0 900 less than in 1900 In comparison
with the value of agricultural imports, agri-
cultural exports show the exceptionally large
excess Of $3.50 1000, 600.

GrEssJNG ON TIN cpop

Chicago, April American farmers seeded
last fall 32,OoO,000 acres of winter wheat, an
area 100000 acres in excess Of that which
they reaped in the summer. This great plant
ing far surpasses any other in the history OF
American farming. Careful inquiry in the
wheat-producing states gives reason to believe
that the crop Of this year will be as large
il not trile larger, than the record making
crop of last year, despite all the losses that
have been suffered
