Trouble In Prospect.
Present surface indications are
that shorts In May wheat will come

during the few remaining days OF
this month. only six more business
days remain in which to square up
existing contracts. The action OF
May delivery prices In the last week

that he win have to go into the pit
and bid against other competitors.
Thus far the big Patien holding has
been on tap at reasonable figures.
With practically no wheat arriving
at winter wheat centers. II Is now a
physical imposslbility to deliver any
great quaEtlty OF wheat on May

Is not new believed TO be large, but

that in the northwest corner of the
state more or less seed has been
blown out by high winds. Accord
ing to preliminary estimats made by
Minneapolis line elevator companies,
il is believed that the total spring
wheat acreage in Minnesota and the
two Dakotas this year will show an
Increase of to 10 per cent over
1908. There will probably be a
slight decrease in the durum wheat
acreage.
May wheat sold down to $1.27h
las week-the low point-the high
point was $1.32H. July sold up to
$1.f6B and the low point was
$ll2A. Net gains for the week
were 4% cents for May, 81 cents
for July, 81 cents for September
and rs cents for December.
Corn Rules Strong.
Corn was strong last week, al
though corn shelters were making a
loud noise over a good part of Illi-
nois. and farmers wagons were lined
up at country elevators in large num-
bers. But instead Of pressure on fut-
ures by the cash grain concerns
some OF the latter were covering
their short May contracts. This
frightened the larger spectators
who we're short, and their purchases
forced prices to a higher level.
The trade is looking for a big run
or corn next, week, while the eastern
demand is entirely absent. The
strength In wheat also added to the
uneasinees of the corn shorts. Lead
ing May longs. presumably the south
western contingent, sold that months

Oats made good gains last week
chiefly on good buying by several
large commission houses. There
were claims OF material damage to
the Nebraska crop before the recent
rains. and that great many fields
would be plowed up and replaced
with corn. The claims OF damage
west were accompanied by several
orders to buy the July delivery. May
oats advanced 1% cents for the
week. July "a and September Is

In the event OF any marked re-

Il was being replenished much more
rapidly by receipts az primary mar
