FEARED A TORNADO
HIGH WINDS AND HAIL IN MIN
NEAPoLIs RECALLED TWIsTER
+ OF LAST YEAR. ~ y -. !. ~. *

Just as the crowds were entering the
theaters last night, the thunderstorm
that had beer, threatening all day burst
in a sudden downpour. Gusts Of wind
Of almost cyclonic force followed and
mingled with the rain were large hail
stones, These did some damage to
glass and windows. Many Of the hail
stones were an inch in diameter. The
storm was merely the fringe Of the
storm that struck Appleton, but many
feared that the tornado which struck
the city Aug. 20, 1904, was to be dupli-
Gated.
When asked today why storm warn
ings had not been issued, Section Di-
rector T. S. Outram said that it was
as impossible to forecast sudden local
storms as it was to foretell where
lightning would strike. Yesterday the
| weather map showed the low pressure
| to be in Colorado. Today it hangs over
Minnesota.
"From the meager data we had yes
terday' said Mr.. Outram, "I should
say that just before the storm there
must have been a very low pressure
over western Minnesota. For the wea TIL
er bureau to send out warnings of a
destructive storm thruout Minnesota
would be almost criminal. It has been
the experience of the department. that
more harm has come from fright than
has ever come from storms. The bureau
does not pretend to predict tornadoes.
Local conditions change suddenly and
become ripe for a severe storm where
only a thunderstorm might be pre-
| dicted.''

WHEAT DUMPED
ONTO The MARKET
TRADERS ALL, BEARS-PRICEs
FALL.
Aand There Was No Rally Today-May
Wheat at 81 Was the Prediction
Bulls Below that the Decline Will
Be Overdone, but Nobody Hears
Them.

Despite the reported sale of $4,000
barrels Of Minneapolis flour to go to
Japan and a number of other bull
items, wheat went down by repeated
breaks today until May had sold in the
local pit at $lOSA and July to $1.03$.
There was no rally to the market.
Everyone was bear and everyone sold.
An occasional buying order came Ill
from the country, but was lost in the
food Of selling. The most extreme bear
talk was heard at the Chamber of Com
merce, and 81 for May wheat was free
ly predicted. The good weather and
good crop prospects are the causes OF
the weakness. F.
the minority, believe that the decline
will be overdone and that a bad crop
report, coming along some day, will
start a rush to buy. The bears, from
all indications, do not fear this and are
quick to sell on every little rally.
The situation is most interesting. It
IS a fight between new-crop and old
crop adherents. On the old-crop lineup
present wheat prices are probably
justified, for there is not much old
wheat left, but old-crop prices are far
above new-crop figures, and as the
promise turns increasingly good, the
tendency is for old-crop options to sink.
Seeding reports came in thick and
fast all morning. Farmers are getting
busy everywhere.
of the winter wheat crop, and altbo it
is yet too early for estimates to be of
value, Governor Stannard of Kansas has
already gone on record as predicting
1l5,000,000 bushels wheat for that
state
