May Corn an Important Influence
on Speculative Wheat
Sentiment.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce March 10.
Wheat was little easier at the start this
morning. the fne weather acting as an Offset to
the tir1ner Liverpool and Paris cables. Corn
was offered freely and the tendency was weaker.
this not without effect in, wheat. High temper.
4tures We're the rule and, while the weather was
unpleasant over the whole country. there was
nothing unfavorable anywhere. The northwest
had good rains and there were rains In Nebraska
and Iowa. Later in the day there was some in
dication of colder turn, and the prediction of
drop in temperatures over Nebraska and Iowa.
Minneapolis had, 2S0 cars, against 100, and Du-
luth only s cars, against 265 last year. at
primary points. receipts were 4O1, 600 bu, against
895, 600, and shipments 1920 against 1S2, 600.
Wheat and flour clearances, ITO, 900 bu.
Liverpool closed sd up. Broomhau cabied
that In India there is brisk demand for vessel
room to load the new wheat for export. Broom
hall cabled later estimating the Argentine ship
nents for this week at 1900, 900 bu. which
was favorable to strength. since a year ago In
the corresponding week Argentine shipped 1885,
900 bu. So far this year the Argentine move
ment has been greatly In excess of 1902, but 1t
looks as If the first rush is over and the weekly
shipments from now may not overrun last
year to any such important extent as has been
predicted.
May corn is the feature in Chicago, and the
outside traders in wheat are watching 1t for
the sympathetic effect on wheat. A Chicago
corn trader wired this morning the opinion that
there is 50 much July corn In the hands OF men
who are masters of the business and who will not
sell while conditions are as strong as they think
them now that Chicago commission houses are
advising their customers that the way 10 trace
in it Is to buy it on all breaks and take fair
profits when they come along. Nevertheless,
despite the numerous advices being given out to
buy corn. the Liverpool cable this morning said
that some big American trader Is secretly sell,
ing the option in Liverpool, and the trade
: there suspects that 1T Is Armour.
Some of the bids for wheat that were turned
down at the seaboard yesterday were repeated to-
day at a fractional advance. The outlook Tor
export business Is said to be q little better.
Local stocks will decrease this week by about
25O.0OO blu.
and was firm at the end covering by shorts,
frightened by the colder weather predictions
No 1 northern sold again at good prices.
There was milling demand for everything that
