Chicago Inter Ocean-A prominent trad
er who has continued to be a bull for
eight months says: do you think that
about nineteen men out of every twenty
are going to be right and make lot of
money on wheat? After paying high prices
for a year, do you think that 1t is just
the time to conclude that Sc a barrel for
flour is famine price, and that wheat
ought to be sold on lower cables or big
Argentine exports. The conditions should
force the price of wheat higher than any
price it has yet sold. There is one thing
you can safely trust to, however, that

Chicago-All sorts of estimates were
heard as to the size of the May wheat
holdings of the bull clique. 1t was the
popular impression that Wall. street bulls
had reduced their holdings to small pro-
portions, possibly less than 5000, 900, and
some larger local longs had been left with
a supply even larger than this. 1t was
the impression that Cudahy, who has been
bullish on May wheat, was hedging with
sales of July. A leading floor trader was
as bullish as ever and asserted that May
wheat would sell higher than ii has vet
sold. The growth of bearish sentiment
was remarkable. The weather and crop
news from the winter wheat belt was OF
the sort to convince the trade that July

low as they possibly can go. for where
sales have been forced during the past
few days operating interests have made
little or no profit.
One of the features of the situation this
week has been the cancellation of orders
placed several weeks ago, which were
not filed prior to this time, owing to in
ability to move the coal forward when II
was required In the meantime the de-
mand for the coal has passed or the dealer
has secured supplies from other sources,
which has resulted in his cancelling many
OF the orders still on the books of ship
ping companies. These cancellations in
the aggregate represent large volume OF
business, and in many instances shipping
companies have sustained considerable
losses from such sources.
In the anthracite trade the effect OF the
interruption to transportation the middle

Chicago which should have reached the

when it was needed. This coal has arriv-
ed so late that dealers are not buying
freely now on account of the discount
which becomes effective the first of next
month. Some of the recent arrivals of
coal are already up against car service.
Chestnut coal is said to be in good de-
mand and is not offered below the circular
basis by the jobbing houses. Shipping
companies are better supplied with this
size than they were. but occasionally run
short and are obliged to send customers
to other companies for coal that is re-

looking after the range conditions in the

son. The reports are most encouraging.
The Bierwagen Cattle company reports
the winter loss at less than i per cent.

ton.
The Ash ranch on Moreau river reports
that the winter losses are not worth con-
sidering.
From Stearns. on White river. reports
say the loss in that section will not be 1
per cent. as the cattle had good feed on

prevail practically all the way from there

section where feed was short, but that so
far that Is the only section OF the whole
range in which there has been any ma

THE COAL TRADE

CHICAGO, March 11.-Continued mild
weather in the west during the past
week has resulted in a further decline in
spot prices on bituminous Goals, eSpe-
cially those which are produced in Illinois
and Indiana. Although the decline in
these Goals has probably been greater than
in those produced farther east the whole
bituminous list is on weak basis and
prices are far from being as satisfactory
as they were. This weakness originates
primarily In the absence of demand.
Dealers and large consumers have grown
SO accustomed to buying as little coal as
possible during March each year that
they are following that policy this season.
although there is no real reason why they
should. Prices will probably be no lower
during April than they are at present; at
least there Is no reason why they sould be.
The mining scale will remain unchanged
