REED BROKERAGE COMPANY
On the Markets.

NHEA1-Hot in a long time has there
been 50 MANY bullish conditions existing
IN wheat and such Il small advance. Tn
der ordinary circumstances market would
have been up ~ d bushei. but the public
has not forgotten its experience of last
year when they bought "Dollar-for-sure'
Wheat and are afralti of being caught
with 4 few on the top. This has resulted
in Scalping small profits and short selling
on the bulges. checking any pronounced
hull movement. How long this will con-
fii1ue Is hard 10 say. but light now il Is
advisable TO float with the tide. buy it on
the breaks and sell il on the bulges. The
Will be more urgent as the season pro-
crosses. Once prices are established above
the @-cent level: they will stay there for
some time. With Cash Wheat selling at
a cents. the May option looks cheap be-
low that figure In 45 years there has
never been three big Wheat crops in sue
market charts fail. We will have a short
crop next year and the biggest bull mar
ket ever witnessed. If you want to make
Wheat on every cent break and stay with
1t. Go to sleep aud forget YOU have 1t.
until about next May, then wake up and
CORN-Weather has been everything
that could be desired for the %manipula-
tors of the market and is still very bad
for the curing and delivery. Contract
grades are mighty scarce and shorts are
beginning 10 worry whether there will be
any good Corn for May delivery either. as
u ScpOItiIS up oil he RObl
stuff that comes in sight. Buy it on any
good break and you will make money.
This goes on Oats also.
PROVISIONS-Receipts of hogs came in
a little heavier this week. bat still way
below last year. Shorts covered freely on
the advance and the public bought. Pack
ers filed them up and are now playing
the other side. This break will probably
go further. but advise purchases on the
declines. My advice has been absolutely
correct on hog meats the past month.
May Pork will sell at Sic. 50 and Lard at
$50 before the option closes.
CDTTON-Littie of interest at present
as Grain and Stocks have held the stage
this week; Statistical position remains
strong and would advise selling only N
the big advances. Purchases on the
breaks look safe.
STOCKS-There is little left of the last
bull movement and of the Bulls bank ac-
count, but a Observation-Disclosures
ten-memory. One of the surprises was
handed out in the Steel Stocks, which
advised You to sell six weeks ago. This
sure lo-per-cent on your money investment
was one of the worst slaughtered. Can
see daylight ahead of US now, and while
no bull market can be expected very soon.
would buy good Stocks like Atchison.
Union Pacific. Norfolk and Western. New
York and Illinois Central on every good
break: Don't overlook Brooklyn, this is
one OF the strongest features on the list.
