AN EARLY BREAK FOLLOWED BY FRAMES
May Wheat Sold to 70 1-Sc Turn
About Later on Reports of
Export Sales.
GOOD RAINS IN THE SOUTHWEST
Receipts Continue Light
S Gossip of the Day.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce. March
12-Rainsr everywhere, and predictions OF
more rain to follow. This was the influence
in wheat this morning. and the market was
naturally weak from the start May opened
at 731ac and broke to 7Ssc. Selling was the
rule at the start, many holders deciding to
get out on the passing of the bull factors
that were so much to the front of late. Liver
pool was IA SD lower at the close This LiV-
) erpool weakness BroOmhan attributed not
alone to the setback in American markets,
but in good part to increased offerings of
Manitoba wheat in the Liverpool cash market,
for shipment early in the spring. Many OF
the minor items of news carried slight tinge
Of bearlshness and the feeling in Chicago
YVES one of depression. About the only
strengthening thing discoverable was the
moderate run Of wheat into northwestern
markets Local receivers do not expect any
material increase for the present, and the
opinion is expressed that the market will run
into seeding time with about the present
daily showing. Scattered reports OF seeding
have been received, although it is OF course
too early yet for any general work. Should
receipts, however, continue as moderate as at
present for a few weeks more. the season Of
active farm work will be here, and it would
be reasonable to expect receipts to drop off
even more. These light receipts here, with
continued good cash demand, have made Min
neapolis relatively a shade frmer and the
difference between here and Chicago narrowed
this morning to 29sc at times.
About noon. the market turned frmer on
reports OF a good export inquiry and As loads
taken
Primary receipts were 504 900 bu, compared
with Cos, 900 bu last year, and shipments
1il,O00 blu, against POI 900. Wheat and -four
clearances equaled $4,000 bu Minneapolis
received $50 cars, compared with 317, and
Duluth &c, compared with 10 last year.
The market closed firm and higher for the
day, with the strength due principally to
covering Of short traders on the reported ex-
port business. May closed at 735s@73a4c;
July, 747s@15c; Chicago May closed at 1879.
The cash demand was very good, although
miliers were not quite such aggressive buyers
as yesterday. No. northern sold at 1ac
under May. For good No. 1 northern 1c over
was paid No. wheat sold from 71Ac to
Ta19c. Rejected and no grade were in fair
demand. 49,
