The Biggest Bull Market Seen

Start It Going.
Little Cash Wheat Being Offered

and Very Excited.
Everybody a Bull and New Buy
ing Orders Coming in Very
Freely.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce. Feb.
S.-This was the greatest bull day In
wheat so far and -aga1n were new high
points made in all markets. Chicago May
spurted to s3c early but Minneapolis
failed to come up in full, and while the
Chicago jump from &c to csc was a mat
ter of few minutes. Minneapolis May
came up only $40 from 90Bc to S1Ac
Later the two markets got moro in line
and by 1880 Minneapolis May had touched
S17sc, Chicago meanwhile selling up and
down from 93c to s21Ac and back to ESQ
again. Everything was up. May wheat in
New York sold to 941sc Chicago corn
reached 53ssc, oats sold up, and Mime
apolis May oats touched Acc. 1t was an
all-around bull market. The trade acted
upon the foreign news. Consols were
down at first and Liverpool u @ Sad UP on
wheat, pretty good evidence Of an in
creased feeling Of nervousness abroad and
when the later cables brought rumors Of
a more offensive attitude on the part OF
the Japanese, and Of the movement Of
Russian war ships around Port Arthur.
the war scare was on and the shorts made
haste to cover.
Liverpool and Berlin were up, the latter
equal to sc, but Paris was nc Off and
Budapest Sc lower. Both London and
New York stocks were off. which strength
ened the feeling that war Is more 1mmln-
ent.
Minneapolis elevator stocks gained q lit
tie yesterday, and the decrease Is reduced
to 10000 bu. so far on the week. Receipts
here were ITO cars against 204 Duluth

The weather map shows cold weather In

conditions elsewhere about as they have
been. Few scattered snowfalls in west,

Near the close a wild market developed.
1t was taken as very significant fact
that In the cash market, no wheat to speak
of was offered to arrive on the advance.
