WAITING FOR The
GOVT ESTIMATE
THIS CROP REPORT MOST IMPORT
ANT IN YEARS.
Will Show the Wheat Reserve in the
Country and Will Send Prices Up or
Down-Government officials Doing
Better Work in This Line Than in
Previous Years.

Intense interest attaches to the gov
eminent crop report to be issued from
Washington late this afternoon, and
nothing else is talked Of at the Cham
Der of Commerce.
This report will be the most import
ant official grain bulletin issued for
years. 1t will show the wheat reserves
in the country March l. Once it is re-
ceived a hundred thousand grain trad
ers will devour it with aVidity and
around it will crystalline opinion as to
values that may be expected finally to
move the market II way or the other
out Of the present stage Of nervous un-
certainty. The government always de-
lays these reports until after the specu-
lative markets have closed,
"What will it show?D is the question
on every lip, and. the professional crop
estimators of. the country have been
besieged by inquirerss for the past week.
B. w. Snow Of Chicago announces that
in his opinion it will show reserves of
l10,000,O00 bushels. This, he says, will
be too low. In his W opinion there is
a total reserve of 13S, 900, 900. B. Frank
Howard Of the Chicago board, predicts
a showing of 100, 900, 900 bushels, of
which 100000 900 bushels will be found
in Minnesota and North and South Da.
kota. G. H. Thornton of Duluth re-
Gently estimated that not more than
100000 bushels of wheat is yet tc
come into Minneapolis and with about
15,000,000 bushels here in all positions
the mills will have enough to get along
on and no more, and when it is consid
cred that it takes more wheat now te
make a barrel of flour, the situation is
a strong one. 8
"For the past two years. said H.
Jones, "the government has done much
better in the matter of final estimates
and it is fair to expect the report fol
March l to be approximately correct
l prefer. to wait for the figures before
attempting an analysis of the situa
tion.'
The Price Situation.
Recently wheat has been very veal
on the. fine weather, good reports from
winter wheat states and reports of early
seeding of spring wheat in the north
west. Everything has favored decline
but after Minneapolis May had sol(
down from $1.18 to $l.10 and Chicago
May had gone from $1.22 to $1.l2R, tn,
decline ceased. The bears, concluded
that they had better not press their ad
vantage too hard. - =. ..,'.-.'.
Today's report will tell the story
If there is a surplus of wheat over ant
above requirements, prices are too high
if there is a material shortage they ar
too low. Today's report may turn tn
scale and on it there may be based suc]
speculative commitment as could SEM

MIGHTIER THAN PEN
State Chemist Finds Typewriter Rec
ords are More Permanent.

Julius Hortvet, state chemist, has
made some experiments with various
kinds Of records that seem to prove
the superior qualities Of typewriter
copies for permanence. Cleve w. Van
Dyke, the governors executive clerk,
has had the work done. Under solutions
of various chemicals for two days or
more, ordinary ink was all eaten away.
Black carbon ink was badly faded, the
ordinary typewriter ribbon showed
clear, while records from a heavy copy
ing ribbon showed little change. The
final test was made with %a3so1ution of
potassium permanganate and@oxalic acid
which gave the same oxidizing effect as
a long exposure to the air. The type
writer records stood the test perfectly.
AS q result Of these tests, the records
Of the governors office will be kept,
as far as possible, with typewriter.
