CHICAGO CAR LOTS
GRAIN NOTES

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Traders who take long range view
of the grain situation are disposed to
go slow in making commitments at
present. There has been heavy liqui-
dalton by longs: Traders were not in
clined to look for more than temporary
rallies in wheat.
In corn the wet weather cuts some
figure, and the bulls appeared to be lit
tie more hopeful than in wheat
In oats traders said the question
was how many oats can Canada ship"
Private cables from Argentina stated
that the weather is favorable and the
outlook for the wheat crop is very
promising.
Some. interests have covered their
short lines of corn, due to lighter re-
ceipts and TO claims that the country
would not consider lower bids
B. w. Snow estimates the spring
wheat crop in the three Canadian prov
inces at lSOO0O,OOO bushels, against 1885,
100000 officially estimated and 1872 200. 900
last year. oats 236. 000. 900 bushels,
against 242,OOG,OOO and 100000, 600. re-
spectively.
The stock of hog products at Chicago
is given at 143,244,O0O pounds of all
kinds, showing a decrease of 40,576, 900
pounds for the month. year ago the
total was 12S, 654 600 pounds. showing a
decrease of 54,374, 900.
Wheat sentiment is bearish, and the
bears claim that the market does not
rally; on the other hand, there are in
terests in the trade who believe that IL
a bulge of &c or so does occur, bears
Will have less encoura cement than they
have at present.
Bartlett, Frazier Co. say: Wheat
We see very little to encourage new
buying.
"Corn-Speculative sentiment is in the
main bearish

better tone. although good buying came
from shorts.
