MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Wheat Keeps strons.

Minneapolis, Dec. 2O.--All things
considered, today's market was re.
markable showing of the underlying
strength in the wheat situation. Lack
of any encouraging response from Eu-
rope. the realization that the reported
Buenos Ayres advance of Saturday was
to put it mildly, bit of miscalcula-
ton on the part OF somebody and that
the sensational upturn wa srather the
effort of week and not day brought
as would be expected. a weak opening,
First prices were / IA to S-S cents
off from Saturdays close. This prov
ed the low point OF the day. This, we
believe. supports our contention which
we have repeated from day to day
since the advance started, that the
market is kept in good technical con-
dition by means of the moderate frac-
tional reactions and that even the
bulls are following the market with
conservatism.
There was a decrease in wheat sup
plies in the United States and Canada.
The domestic total is 26,000,000 bush
els under a year ago. Northwestern
markets were especially strong on the
statistical showing. We see nothing
in the immediate situation that is
weak Reactions should prove great
er as the market is in high ground but
the trend still appears higher.-Chas

morrow which is slated as a farewell
event for the first bunch that is to

WHEAT Due FOR
A Big ADVANCE?
SENSATIONAL RuMoRs TO THIS
EFFECT RIFE IN MooRHEAD--
FARMERS HOLD WHEAT AND
SOME STARTLING RESULTS MAY
FOLLOW If THEY CONTINUE.

A wheat authority in Moorhead said
today that there were signs from many
sources that there would be a sem
sational jump upwards in the price of
wheat and that it would not be in a
hurry to come down.
In many directions the country pa
pers are telling of the holding back Of
wheat by the farmers this year. An
instance is quoted from Fergus Falls
in the statement that 1t is believed
that not so per cent Of the wheat trib-
utary to that market has been market
ed yet. Flax sold quickly this fall, as
the price was away up Immediately
after harvest and farmers ridded them
selves so as 20 afford them all the
room possible for wheat There is no
export of oats from Fergus Falls as
large quantities are needed for home
consumption. The price Of barley be-
ing so low this year the farmers have
kept 1t for the food of hogs as 1t
brings more money in the shape of
bacon.

PLEASED THEIR AUDIENCE
Mendelssohn Quartette Gave Fine
Rendition.

The Mendelssohn Quartette pleased
a very fair audience at the First Meth
odist church with it's rendition of
Coombs' cantata, The First Christmas.
The participants were Miss Charlotte
M. Wall, soprano; Mrs. Jardine, con-
tralto; Paul F. Bruce, tenor, and
Charles H. LAVAL, baritone. The ac-
compartments on the great organ were
skillfully played by Sam Lamberson.
The several solos and recitiatives were
all so well sung that 1t would be abso-
lutely unfair to underline any one of
the participants in the very ambitious
programme presented. There was a
splendid blending of the voices in the
singing of the anthem, Great is the
Lord, which closes the cantata. The
capabilities Of the quartette were well
displayed in the work of Coornbs and
music lovers will anticipate more en-
tertainments during the season.
