Grain Letter.

Chicago, Ill.,, March Wheat
The market opened about steady, ruiz
ed easy and lower during the early
session, rallying over 1 cent from the
low point The advance was caused
chiefly by report from a private
crop expert giving the present condi-
ton of Kansas at SIS with an abandon
ment of 10 per cent Of the acreage.
Should his figures prove correct It
would still leave an acreage of 6,000,-
600, compared with 100000 at har-
vest last year. and five-year average
og approximately 5,S0O,000 AS a very
large percentage of the acreage did
not terminate until late in February
after the rains, the growth at the
present time would naturally be very
small. The so called bad crop news
probably saved the market from fur
Their break and once again encouraged
buying on the part of professional
traders. We see nothing so far in
the news regarding the growing crop
to cause uneasiness. but quite to the
contrary, believe that the present
condition Of the growing crop is about
perfect.

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, March 14.-Wheat-With
crop experts sending in favorable re-
ports from the winter wheat sections
and with weather favorable for the
crops, Patten, Rankin, and the other
local traders, who were bearish took
the bear side of July and September
wheat from the start and sold 1t freely.
It was said after the close that Patterns
sales were over a. million bushels. He
talkel bearish and regarded the crop
outlook as favoring low prices, espec-
tally as the cash demand continues to
drag. Pit traders said there was less
spreading, May and July were the
weakest of all futures. 1t was said
that the private wire houses with west
ern connections, who are credited with
holding the largest lines of May were
sellers on the hard spots and have
been for a week past. Traders said
the advance Of Saturday had scared
in the local shorts and timid ones were
not selling freely again until late in
the day. The bulls thought that the
bullish foreign news and the larger de-
crease in the visible than expected
would help them, but they were dis
appointd. It was the belief of most
traders last night that the local crowd
were well out of their long wheat and
many were short. Inter-Ocean.

Where Troops Are Gathered.

Samuel Kahn, manager of the Union

sister and aunt in San Antonio, Tex.

he gained into the existing difficulties
of the Mexican and borderland trou-
bles. He says that the people of south
western Texas are of the opinion that
the situation between the United
States and Mexico will develop into
very unpleasant relations between the
two nations, and that a repetition Of
1S4S may be near at hand.
Something is bound to happen to
the present administration in Mexico"
he stated to a representative of The
Forum today. 1.-THE people of the VII
cinity around San Antonio are gener-
ally of the opinion that there will be
trouble between the two nations. In
fact, that is the firm belief of the peo-
pie of the whole state

COLE DID NOT GET
ENOUGH SIGNERS
GENTLEMEN IN CHARGE OF A. T.
COLES. PETITION DID NOT GET
ENOUGH sIGNERs AND WERE
UNAWARE OF THE FACT UNTIL
1T WAS TOO LATE.

When the men in charge of the petit.
have been candidate for police mag
istrate, appeared at the city auditor
office last night they were informed
that there were not enough names
on the petition. The city auditor at
the request of the men in charge of
the manuscript examined the paper
and found that there were not 300
signers, which is required by law, in
cities of this size.
The men in charge of the petition
appeared at the auditors office about
O'Clock shortly before the closing
time. At that hour it was too late
to secure any more signatures before
the office closed and there was nothing
else to do but to withhold the petit
tion.
When seen today Mr. Cole said that
he himself was not directing the petit
ton and consequently did not know
until today. regarding the fact that
it had not been filed. The men could
have gotten more names, but did not
think that more were necessary.
A number of attorneys over the city
have given their opinion stating that
candidate could file his petition later
than time prior to tweny days days
before the election. They are of the
opinion that the law regarding the
filing of petitions has been repealed,
but that it has always been a custom
in this city to file the petitions. and
this custom has been adhered to by all
past candidates.
Mr.. Cole said this afternoon that
there was some talk of filing the petit
ton anyway, in view of the fact that
the law had been repealed, but as
yet the men in charge of the manu-
script had given him no information
regarding the matter.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR
Hotel MOORHEAD
TENTATIVE PLANS AND sPEcIFI-
CATIONS PRESENTED AT MEET
ING LAST NIGHT - EXPECTED
THAT BUILDING WILL BE CON-
PLETED THIS YEAR.

The outlook for the new Hotel
Moorhead, to take the place of the
destroyed Columbia is exceedingly
bright and the prospects now are that
before the cold December blasts roll
around again Moorhead will have a
hotel, with all attractive conveniences
to house her guests in.
The hotel committee Of the COM
mercial club held conference with
representatives, including the archi-
tect, of the Northwestern Mutual In
vestment Co., Fargo, last night, at
which were presented tentative plans
and specifications of the building
proposed to be erected by the company
in Moorhead, provided that the COM
mercial club of Moorhead meets the
terms regarding the providing of the
site for the contemplated hotel build
ing. In a general way it is said that
the plans and design for the hotel were
approved by the committee and il they
are followed out Moorhead will have
an attractive hotel pile, one that it
will not be ashamed to point to with
pride Nothing definite could be
done at this meeting, as the special
committee of the commercial club has
only limited powers, but they will re
port to the directors of the club which
have been called to meet this even
ing. 1t is said that a big chunk of
the money required to buy the site
has been promised and it is believed
that in few days the whole amount
will be placed to the credit of the
commercial club for the purchase of the
site required by the builders of the
proposed Hotel Moorhead, which win
eclipse anything in northern Mime
sofa.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett Frazier Co: AS long as
conditions continue as at present we
believe wheat should be sold on all
little rallies, for unless the present
outlook for the growing crop changes
materially, the supply and demand ST.
uation is bound to carry prices to a
materially lower level. We are in
clined to look for a further setback
in the corn market particularly as
long as weather conditions continue as
al present
She arson Hammill & Co.: The ten
denCy of the weather is dry and If il
continues it will become a factor.
Bearish sentiment may in the mean
time carry wheat prices lower, but
until rains come in abundance, do not
care to advise taking the short side.
Logan & Bryan: What improvement
there may be in the cash wheat or
-four trade northwest is not sufficient
to check the bearish tendency due to
the splendid crop reports.
