MINNEAPOLIS.

polis-All traders were inclined
to go slow in wheat, and a dull, dragging
market through the opening hour was the
result May was off q to S91ac. There
were bearish items and there was some
selling on them. May was off to just
above S9c after awhile. AS this was 21sc C
down from recent high point the old line
bulls laid in a little more May on the set
back. Others in the pit took it to mean
the beginning of a greater decline, and so
they made haste to get short, and even
those who would not sell it at 91hc. now
put out little. 1t is doubtful If a single
big long line was disturbed on the down
turn to S9c, and careful tab in the pit
failed to record anything that looked like
heavy selling. At S9c it was evident that
a considerable quantity of wheat made up
of small lot long holdings had been sold
had been created, and that this selling
had been absorbed by holders already long.
Persistent selling finally put it through
to 88% @SS7sc. and the market at this
point was very uncertain, everybody wait
ing to see what the next turn would bring,
and commission house pit men watching
their stop-loss orders closely. Receipts,
269 cars.
Near the close the market turned very
weak bearing out the predictions of
Thursday by fall to $3.50 for May. July
made big loss, going to S6ss QS6Ac
There was much selling out of long wheat
near the end. May closed at SS1ac July
at S65s @S6s4c. and September at z6%c.
Another big trade was noted in May
oats, elevators selling freely May closed
at 3Skc and April at 3S5sc. Following

BEARS HAVE INNING
Break Corner in the Corn and
Wheat Markets.

There was a break yesterday in the
wheat and corn pits and at last the bear
interests were given an inning. Wheat
was weak on the absence of war news
and the large shipments from Argentine
which We're greater than the estimates.
In corn the decline was caused by heavy
selling. The crop still grades low. Cash
corn was weak, and this was the bears
principal weapon.
What the Brokers Say.
NJ Doran & Co.'S Chicago grain letter
says:
Wheat-The absence of war news and
the large Argentine shipments, which
We're in excess of the estimates, created a
bearish feeling. Business was interfered
with by the poor wire service, but the
local traders made up for it. The Modern
Miller was bearish and indicated a good
deal of selling of July, but on declines
that appeared in May. Armour was a
buyer and was giving support around
901ac at the close. Clearances were liber-
al but foreign news was bearish, and
while it is possible May will be forced
some lower, the stock Is small enough to
allow of quick congestion.
Corn-There was selling from the start
in May and it was of a determined char
aeter. with local professionals bearish and
helping the decline along whenever the
leading bull house had any for sale. Low
grades are very heavy, with no grade
selling a 30c freely. The fact of the cash
market being SO weak was most bearlsh
feature and is bound to have great in
fiuence, as May is too high and We think
1t should be sold

1t was expected that the attack upon

the attorney general authorized the
following statement:
II have advised the president that
ho Is authorized to pay at once to
the republic Of Panama the $10,000.000
stipulated for by the treaty, the rat
itications of which have just been ex-
changed. Also that he Is authorized
to pay the new Panama Canal company
the 100000 which. under the agree
ment between the United States and
that company, we are to pay for Its
property. and have notified the canal
company we are ready to close the
transaction.
The details In connection with the
transfer OF the canal company's prop
erty should not require more than
thirty days"
1t appears that, after thorough con-
slderation Of the entire subject, At
torney General Knox is satisfied per-
fectly with the title which the canal
company Is able to pass to the United
States. In his opinion 1t will not be
necessary to pursue the investigation
further. Mr.. Knox declines to discuss
the pending litigation In the French
courts, but the inference from his au-
thorized statement is plain that he
does not regard 1t as a serious menace
to the validity OF the title to the prop
erty which the company will pass to
the United States.
