weakness in wheat Speculative interest
remains light and neither in the Mime
apolls pit or in other specula tive centers
Is there any noticeable increase in trad
ing. The local situation is one of uncer-
talnty. Traders in the Minneapolis market
are hesitant between the Northwestern
bull1sh and the situation abroad which
is bearish: They are bulls almost to
a man., Even the Spectator who is
short wheat for a turn is often a bull at
heart, and would tie up to the bull side
but for the dullness and the uncertainty
OF prices In the immediate future The
bears have the good condition of the
winter wheat to go upon. and the heavier
shipments by exporting countries that
compete with ours. There are other bear
arguments, but these two are the lead
ers. The Northwestern bulls stand pat
on the proposition that there is barely
enough wheat in our part of the country
the Two leaders are the visible supply
that Is under last year, and the fact
that the quantity of wheat now In Min
neapolis elevators is not more than
enough to supply the mills until the new
crop comes in.
Last year there was as much wheat
had drawn it down to practically nothing.
And this year, it is believed there is less
wheat back in first hands than last year.
End despite tie present weak and drag
gsng tendency in all the markets, the
bulls argue that they, viii win out in the
long run. even if decline should come
now as a result of all the bearish talk
There is this to be said for the North
western bull position, that it is clearly
defined. 1t is almost impossible to
imagine any. development that could in
crease supplies here largely and mate
rally change the supply situation from
what the bulls now know it to be. In
whatever degree the. outlook is strong it
is likely to remain that strong. On the
other hand, there are numerous DOSSibili-
ties respecting the bear side There are
a dozen things that may happen to turn
the bears into bulls in short order. The
foreign news again brought little Of en-
couragement. Minneapolis had 173 cars,
against 1876, and Duluth Az against 256.
