various positions, $4,000 bu OF II In
farmers hands. Demand for this wheat
- not active.
All classes OF trade papers are bear
satisfactory Hour demand and farm
papers show crop conditions TO be very
good. Bullishness Is found only In
the low price compared with recent
years and the smallness OF the farm
selling. Northwestern receipts aud the
total primary movement are very small
and stocks at leading points OF aecu-
mutation are decreasing. There has
been a strong EFFORT on the part or be-
levers In wheat around soc for chicago
May to start good recovery In prices.
They have used the small primary
movement TO help the advance and
condition OF the speculative market
and the smallness of farm reserves has
also been used. but the bears feel that
slow cash demand more than Offset all
bullish considerations. Bulls argue thai
prices should advance but the bears
feel confident that the actual condi-
tons In the market are all In favor OF
lower prices.
Foreign conditions show little
change-Australia, Russia, India and
Arsentina are all Offering wheat hoer-
ally.
