Washington. April 17.-"There is
sufficient wheat in the country at nor

cans up till the new crop comes in,'

Minneapolis, April 1.-THE cables
coming seven-eighths to one and a
quarter cents higher did not affect
this market materially at the opening
as there was considerable May wheat
on tap, coming mainly from the COM
mission houses. When these orders
were filled, the market steadily gained

ly the high point of the day and an
other record breaking price for May
Wheat. The crop reports are disap-
pointing from various sections of the
winter wheat districts and the scar
city OF the cash article is still q
matter for consideration. The stocks
decreased 100000 bushels for one day
and the terminal elevator people were
prominent in the market, changing
their hedges from the May to July.
There has been probably two million
of this done in the last two DAYS and
as consequence July wheat has gone
from seven-eights cents premium to
only one-eighth cent premium at the
close. This is in itself evidence that
the delivery on May contracts will be
small and that cash wheat in this
market is expected to be at a big pre-
MUM in July. There was consid-
erably steam on at the close but the
belief Is being strongly held that May
wheat will sell at a premium over
Chicago May wheat next week.
Patten Absent
Chicago, pril 17-This was another
day of activity in the wheat pit with
new high marks for the July and dis
tant options. The May did not show
quite so much life as has character
lied this option of late. July sold at
$1.1S 5-S and the final figure was only
trifle below this price. The for
egin cables reported their markets
very strong and thirty-three loads of
wheat were taken for export. The
bulls are predicting still higher
prices and say the market will seek
higher levels on the legitimate de-
mand for the cash wheat as they
clai mthe July delivery will be old

will be later than usual James A.

today telegraphei Ambassador Leish-
man to take every step possible for the

sending this dispatch as an extra pre-
caution that every possible aid be
given to missionaries, Mr.. Knox is
confident that the ambassador is fully
alive to the situation and that he has
done all in his power to look after

the action of .he seventeen riders. who
refused to ride IN the Marathon at the
