lNNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-Wheat was
Strong IN the early session today and
May sold up on a little squirt to 7434c.
Shorts buying in for profit started it
mere was no change Of Importance IN
the general sentiment, and while the same
cOndltCnS of light receipts still helped for
strength, the preponderance Of the news
was beartSh. Chicago said there was
more disposition shown there to buy, as
export inquiry was a little better and
there was hope of some foreign trades be-
ang closed. OF actual sales for export
however, there was none reported to
noon. St Louis and Kansas City were
again SAD 70 DC moderate sellers of wheat
in Chicago. Secretary Coburn, of the
Kansas state agricultural board, is quot
ed as saying that the winter wheat is IN
excellent condition as to moisture and
snow protection. In places he SAYS there
is exposure and some damage, but in re-
lation to the whole area such acreage
IS small. A private concern in Kansas
City took Secretary Coburns estimate of
present conditions as indicating 100000 bu
for Kansas for the coming crop, and the
same company estimated present stocks
in farmers hands at So, 600 900 bu. Fig
ureS as to probable yield at this early
yet too early to make even fair guess,
yet these came with the rest of the bear
items.
Primary receipts were 331, 600 bu, against
$4,000 bu last year, and shipments, 162, go
bu against 237, 900 bu. Wheat and flour
