FEB. 1S-Wheat played 81 WhipsaW game |
for half hour this morning, and then
made another new high point. May was
up a fraction at the opening at 96@c, !
and then 965sc, nervous and unsettled, and
up and down between that point and $500
! 961Ac and then on new buying SIC was
struck. Shorts had a hard time OF It,
/ On the early dip they sold for setback,
and on the rise they made haste to cover.
and Judging from their antics in the pit
! they got the worst of it whatever they
did Cables were up again, and Broomhall
attributed this principally to the Balkan
war scare. Liverpool was 1a@1d up on
July There was really nothing new TO
cause strength, but the trade appeared to
have awakened to as realization OF the
possibilities suggested by the increasing
war reports, and new buying was seen.
1t was said on the floor that a consider
able new business came in on the Dul
side from outsiders who had not touched
wheat thru all the long advance. but are
now coming in. This buying was in July
and September. Evidently 1t Is the theory
of these newcomers that if May is a good
proposition for bull July is equally good,
and September wheat at 1Oc under May
Is the best Of the lot. Against this there
was selling out by old-time July bulls
who have been working for higher prices
in July for many weeks have made good
profits and are now a little less bulllsh
because of the recent snow over the Will
ter wheat In this connection the Price
Current says that variable weather with
out snow causes some uneasiness for
wheat. Practically no definite harm IS
noted yet The disposition Is to hold all
grains. and the movement is becoming
lighter.

Minneapolis May wheat closed at CSC
July at 973s @971ac, and September a
S7ssc.
At the close it was conceded by OLD
time observers that the market is dan
serous for the small trader. The question
is whether Armour will put Chicago Ma
above 81 and hold 1t there against tn
foundations Of hundreds Of small-lot me-
who have carried up wheat from ia
down, or whether he will let it touch
and then slam down the little fellows
Changes of S cents either way are no
unlikely.
