Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, April D.
Delivery day looked close at hand to the gram
men today, for Tuesday next Will be the Tune
when it will be optional for the sellers or May
to hand it out to the buyers thereof, and demand
The money. There is nothing certain about the
deliveries. Individual firms may very wen know
what they intend to do, but the general SURFACE
OF the market does not permit OF CONCLUSIONS To-
day Some firms long in May say, they intend to
take deliveries, but with others quite out OF
May and over into July, and still others en-
tirely non-committal as to position. 1t Is 1mpos-
sible even to approximate how heavy deliveries
S,SrilI run. One thing Is certain, however, the
existence of a considerable total of wheat In
May yet unturned. Either the deliveries Will
run to pretty heavy proportions, Or there VIII
be some heavy selling out or evening up OF May
between now and tuesday. In the early bust

Oklahoma. cutworm threatened some damage
in the central counties Of Oklahoma. but 1t
seemed to disappear suddenly, and what little
damage was done is not thought to have been
important. In the southern counties Of Kansas
where the crop has been poor for two years, the
promise Is for the old-time yields. All thru the
principal wheat-growing area of Kansas the con-
dttion is excellent. The fields have the ap-
pearance of lawn. In most years fields even
In good districts have been spotted to some ex-
tent, but this year is an exception, as the fields
are thoroughly covered and these defective places
are lacking. 1t is only when the extreme wes-
