MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis-A new factor developed in
wheat on the bull side. The weather over
the Northwest was clear and the skies
cloudless from the Canadian line down.
The temperature were high-not alarm
ingly high. yet ranging from 75c at Win
nipeg to 94c at few Red river valley
points. With this high wind was blow
Ing, and naturally enough. the fear Of hot
winds and consequent damage took pos
session of the pit traders Pierre sent the
report of a thermometer registering 104 in
BUSINESS. The wind was strong every
where. and there was clearly the posi-
bility Of q hot wave over the entire spring
wheat area. The question there was
much harm, and while there was some
difference of opinion on this point and
some traders thought 1t was too early In
the season for material damage to result,
chances. and wheat advanced. again
touching Toe for September, being then
1A@12s over the close OF Monday and
PIC up from the close Of last week. A
sprinkling of new country buying orders
came into the pit.
While there were number Of other
important Strengthening factors in the
situation. the Northwest was mainly con-
cerned with the weather. There Is no
question at all that the Northwest is more
in position to be damaged by hot winds
this season than ordinarily. The vast
area is too immature as yet to suffer
seriously, but there is a strip of country
running through the Red river valley
on the North Dakota side from Grafton
down to below Hillsboro. and another strip
running from east of Moornead to Valley
City and beyond in which a considerable
portion of the acreage shows wheat head
ing out, and in some instances pretty
we'll headed. on straw very short and from
nine to thirteen inches high. Should a
hot wave pass over this territory material
damage would be done. the idea that
there is to be a record breaking crop in
the Northwest this year has been pretty
generally abandoned. That there win be
a bumper crop is possible. Continued
favorable weather may do wonders But
the present stand does not promise any
