Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, April Is
Another bull day in wheat. Traders who looked
for a setback end-of theweek liquidation were
disappointed. The market not only held up, but
advanced another notch, May selling to 1880
and July to the figure. In Chicago wheat
opened somewhat nervous and about W here it
at first at 72c. Armour bid for May and started
the stronger turn. The weather map showed a
further general rise in temperatures: There
were showers in Nebraska, Iowa and the Da-
kotas 1t was clear In Kansas Missouri Hi
nois and the Ohio valley, with conditions salts
light rains all over the south Platte. The
foreign news was favorable to the strength,
Argentine reporting heavy rains general.
Broomhall cabled short summary of European
conditions. follows:
Germany-The continued cold weather is be-
ginning to have prejudicial effect on crops.
Prices are firm.
= caused slight damage to wheat, otherwise the
harvest prospects are satisfactory.
France-Rumors from various sources indicate
that 15. 600, 600 bu will be imported before har-
vest.
Broomhall considers this last statement an
extreme estimate.
the strength in American markets yesterday
afternoon and firm private cables from Chicago
caused steady opening in wheat, with prices
nd higher. Later in the session realizing in
duced by large C. i. f. offerings of Manitoba
wheat caused a decline in the contract July

frmness of corn on spot, but May lost this slight
advance later In sympathy with the easier wheat
market.
Minneapolis received 154 cars. against 96 last
year, and Duluth II, against 10. At primary
points. receipts 29, 900 bu, against 19s, 900
bu, and shipments $4,000 bu, against 415,00O
bu. Wheat and flour clearances equaled sos, 900
bu..
Chicago wired late in the session: 'Looks as
I though Armour was sustaining July wheat, as
it started with a downward trend and is now
strong. Trade is only moderate. ., Armour Is
the whole thing, and he may get the shorts
going" The shorts are not numerous enough
here or in Chicago to cause much of rush for
cover the upturns. But those who do 60
short quick to cover there is no dsposi-
tion to stand very long against the trend when
Armour is back Of the market. 1t is still an
Armour market wholly, as the week closes, and
there is nothing to indicate what Armours fu-
ture course may be. Meanwhile, good export
business and less favorable reports of crop con-
ditions abroad helping the bully greatly.
The market closed firm and active. New York
reported fifteen loads for export.
The cash market feels the effect Of the with
drawal of the milling buyers severely. Prices,
however, well sustained, there is little
wheat coming into Minneapolis now.
