Most Of the commission houses, as
well as the largest spectators, were
bullish on wheat last night, and looked
for a continuation of the bad crop re-
ports. which they expect to come from
4 wider territory, as the crop experts
crop expert out yesterday found Hes
sian f1y and damage It Is the impress
sion among some traders that fly dam
age il moro widespread than for years.
Those who are bearish are waiting for
: further advance to put out fresh lines
believing that the acreage this year is
sufficiently large to admit of the aver
n o,,l nkiYY laox
In excess Of last year.
The advance in wheat futures check
"a the cash demand. and bids from
Abroad were out Of line considerably. 1
Monday night there was a bid here for
10000 blu Chicago old No. 2 hard at
oshc. which was refused. At outside
markets prices were steady relatively,
aud 1T st. Louis brisk demand was
reported. Stocks Of wheat there are
extremely light. Local houses reported
he country selling quite littl, wheat
Ind asking Cor bids. Receipts at Min
neapons continue light, and mills are
good buyers Of spring wheat offerings,
Md No. ! northern blue stem was
quoted 2@4c over the July. The major
lty OF reports from the northwest indi-
general opinion is that the movement {
Of spring wheat will be comparatively
light during the remainder Of the sea- {
ION. Minneapolis stocks decreased $780,
700 bu for three days. 8
Receivers reported moderate pur-
chases Of corn to arrive yesterday, but
! few said there were fair sales Of oats. {
Several Of the local houses are not in |
clined to pay the prices asked by coun- {
try owners. Corn receipts are expected 8
10 increase materially by the first OF !
next week, and to be quite liberal for !,
1ome time. Milwaukee was reported
Chicago for corn in nearby
territory. Local prices were steady to I
Nc of. Stocks Of corn here are light
except Of mixed corn, which the east
aoes not care to buy apparently at
present. Oats were In fair demand, with
larger offerings from the 6
country. Prices were unchanged to Nc
up. Shipping sales here were $4,000 bu' {
corn and $4,000 bu oats. T.
Corn traders said that large part of {
The strength shown in their markets
was reflection Of that in wheat. The :
short interest has been cut down and
sentiment among traders is mixed Re-
sewers are talking increased receipts. A
