tone most of the day, although shorts
in 1t were buying freely early and
at higher prices. May delivery has at
all times been relatively firmer than
December, but has always turned
heavy ultimately. 1t is the popular
impression that the leading long in
December wheat sold large part Of
it yesterday and has sold more today.
This puts the property in the hands
of weak holders.
A leading cash grain and elevator
concern reports the recent purchase
of 1000, 900 bushels Duluth and Me-
braska wheat to be brought here for
delivery on December contracts.
There were 10000 bushels Nebraska
and Kansas part winter bought today
to come here and negotiations for
more of the Duluth wheat were un-
ment in May wheat was made bullish
largely by the light primary markets
receipts $50, 900 bushels as compared
with 1,122 900 bushels year ago, and
by rather bullish reports on the Ar
gentfne crop prospects.
One private cable direct reported
weather cold and wet, exportable sur
plus 100, 900, 600 bushels. Liverpool
reported lack Of offerings of Argen-
tine and Australian wheat for future
shipment. Export clearances today
were light at 263 100000 bushels but
no new business on export account
was closed. Local cash wheat sales
were 5000 bushels. Northwest re-
ports poor milling business today.
There was another little upturn in
May wheat at the close on evening up
by those who sold short on the break
to around $1.06 and did not care to
stand short over the holiday. With
the cfose of navigation so close it is
we'll to see what effect the inability
to ship wheat and -four cheaply by
water will have on the demand. We
think It will check up the demand
very sharply and affect the markets
unfavorably but we will soon find
out now and in the meantime any
moneytin wheat looks as though it
would be on the selling side Of May
on the hard spots.
