building up of n good congregation.

SIDE HAS
GROWN STALE

Chicago, March 15.-The Inter-
Ocean of this morning says: A ma
jority of the local wheat traders think
that the bull side has grown stale and
that the market needs a big break to
put 1t in a good healthy condition.
They see the big stocks nearly 1 5 ,00O,-
600 bushels in Chicago which is -un-
usual at this season. also the large re-
ceipts which exceed last years and
are having 1t constantly drilled into
them that milling trade is light. Those
who are extremely bullish have an
abiding faith in the statistics which
show a pending scarcity before anoth-
er crop is raised. and incline to the
buying side Of May and July on any
good breaks.
1t was the gossip of. the corr trade
that the local shorts were we'll in, al
though they remain bearish in their
views and that most of the pit eie-
ment were long having loaded up in
anticipation of small reports for a few
days as the result Of the big snow
storm in the west.
Cutten was credited with buying
May and selling it later buying July.
Others who have advised conservatism
in buying on breaks continue that
policy and recommend purchases IN
a scale down.
