Scalpers Working for Decline
May Have Magnifed It's
Importance.
But the Effect Is Felt, May Going
Down to $1.10s4, July
to $1.07. 81,
Weather Reports and Winter
Wheat Crop News Rather
Favorable.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, March 2S.
Milling talk and the wheat supply. the rumors
of big sales of cash wheat to the mills ana
the prospect for -four business were matters
discussed change this morning. Wheat fell
off sharply when the market opened, and was
down to S1111a for May and to s1.oshs for
July. There was weakness in Chicago wheat
and corn. the latter going under 4Sc Tor May.
Locally the trade was very nervous, and while
good many in the pit were inclined to puv,
they feared to take hold while those who ia
yored the selling side equally afraid to
venture. After a half hour Of uncertainty prices
turned UP again part way and held awhile. but
soon went lower again. May to $1.11, July to
$1.07A. The posting of $50 cars for the morn
ing's receipts against 266 year ago again
checked the talk of lighter receipts. The de-
crease in local elevator stocks for Ave days
was reported as 400, 900 bu. The Northwestern
Miller finds the flour trade to have been better
for a week past. altho some check Is now noted.
Sales were made to the Orient Of fair quantities
of second clears, but nothing further is In pros.
pect for the immediate future. From Duluth
two cargoes are reported sold to go to Buffalo
mill. being No northern wheat. Receipts at
against II Mt Chicago and IS against 22 at
Winnipeg Kansas City had 40. 600 bu against
$4,000 and st. Louis $4,000 against $4,000.
Various reasons were heard for the decline
One theory that against large purchases OF
cash wheat hedges We're being Cancelled, ant
this idea had some weight. On the other hand
the two big houses reported yesterday to have
made the heavy trade in cash wheat denied that
the quantity anywhere large was
supposed. Again it was suggested that the trade
had been exaggerated In Importance by traders
not connected with the two firms, but who had
learned of it with the idea of making hard
spot to sell wheat on today. The market Ger.
tainly had to stand continued heavy selling fol
straight two hours. and that 1t did not &c
lower the only thing to be wondered at
The outlook for the growing crop is generally
favorable, according to the Price Current, and
conditions for spring seeding also favorable
Overnight there were heavy rains in Kansas
and less rain in Iowa, Minnesota and
in Manitoba
