BULL STORIES

The Chicago-1nter Ocean this MORN
ing says: 1t was the gossip of the
wheat trade last night hat the pro-
fessionals held less long wheat than
for several days, although most of
them were bullish and said they favor
ed buying wheat on any good recess
sions from last nights close. They
expected their action in unloading at
the last as due to the buying power
in the pit not appearing as good as
for several days past, and prices are
at a point where sharp fluctuations
are to be expected. 1t was generally
remarked that in a crop scare sharp
break are liable to follow the bulge,
especially in a situation like the pres
ent. when the damage is mainly in
the soft winter wheat section east Of
the Mississippi river, while reports
from the west and southwest are more
encouraging. The bulls were dispos-
cd to make a great deal out of the
reported sales of 3,0OO.O 900 bushels

OATS AND CORN
MARKET STRONG
Lewis & Co. Discuss Situa-
ton in Today's Bulletin
Other Items.

Minneapolis. April 17.-Oats mar
EetS for the past week have advanced
somewhere near two cents per bushel,
above what vas considered a high
price a week ago. In other words
standard qualities moved up in the
local market from SIC to SAC. There
was no particular excitement to bring
about this effect, excepting such in
terest as prevails in all markets for
feedStuffS in tins country.
Local receipts were ia cars against
sc cars for the same time in 1911.
cceipts are falling Off due to activity
of rme in the fields. Estimating
from the total production it is quite
natural to conclude that prices Of this
grain may not recede to any consid-
cradle extent at least, even with the
near coming of ~pasturage. as this
grain goes largely into consumption as
horse feed.
Corn Remains Firm.
Corn markets We're strong last week
with light receipts amounting to Sc
cars. though exceeding the receipts
OF the same period one year ago The
market was strong and generally add
vancing, though with a few setbacks
but finally closing at the top. This
advance of the previous has gone IN
since about the middle of the previous
month. The reasons back of the adj
vance are unusually given as promoted
by the o supply for consumption
on the farms. Corn is being distrib-
uted from one section to another to
provide for this condition.
May has advanced over futures for
the other months. a fact. illustrative
of the demand for immediate use.
It's but Il short time ago thai prices
were nearly equal for the different
futures. The latter have not been the
leaders in the commercial markets
but have followed the dictation of the
market.
Sellers from the farm have reduced
marketings to put in their spring
crop.
1t is evident they are not uneasy
about prices later. For with the we'll
known situation Of deficit in the gem
eral supply. they are satisfied that
prices will be quite as inviting later
as now. Reports of the futures mar
kets are convincing that the trade on
the exchange is quite as self satisfied
with their holdings as are the pro-
ducers,
