Chicago Nav 29.-WHEAT-Nearl
700, 900 bushels of wheat, chiefly No. L
northern brought here from Duluth,
was delivered on May contracts late
yesterday. The wheat was taken and
paid for by the Patten house, making
about million bushels in all taken
care Of on this months delivery. 1t Is
claimed that nearly half of the wheat
brought here from Duluth has been
sold to miHers and others, instead of
likely that there will be any impor-
tant fury in May wheat before the
close today. With the passing Of May
contracts, short sellers of July, Sep
TENDER and December wheat Will pegln
to realize that they are selling prop
erty at a great discount under what
the wheat is bringing in the cash mar
ket AS the cash price is based on
low supplies and actual milling de-
mand, we fail to see how there can be
much let down in values until there is
an abundance of new wheat moving.
The only logical conclusion is that II
cash and futures are to far apart, the
later will have to advance. The sftua-
ton will be cleared greatly by June LIST.
For the present it looks like buyers
market on all soft spots.
CORN-In corn as well as wheat the
elimination of May contracts will mean
considerable. 1t is expected that de-
Hveries will be fairly large today. The
corn does not all pass into one hold
ing, as is the case in wheat. The ac-
ton of the market in the near future
must depend on whether or not the
country continues to market the re-
serves freely. AS soon as Chicago be-
gins to accumulate fairly good stocks
and owners of reserves see the new
crop well started there may easily be
change of sentiment to the selling
side from the present somewhat bullish
situation.-Logan & Bryan

Chicago, May 2S.-The Examiner says:
July wheat has many good friends in
the grain trade. The bull longs in July
have made up their minds that there
will not be great deal of new wheat
to come forward during that month
and that the small receipts will be ia
ken in and paid for by the millers in
stead of looming as a stumbling block
in the path of the bulls. AS a matter of
traders are bearish. The largest pro-
fessionals, however. believe in wheat
and they are long fair sized lines.
News from Kansas is again the piv-
otaI medium prices advancing only to
