The Chicago Inter Ocean SAYS:
with more bearish of late. as the price
has gone owe practically the same
ground for six days. Sentiment in
corn favored the bull side to a. great
err extent than of late mainly on the
theory that receipts are likely t o be
light when country roads break up
and should there be any increase i'm
the shipping demand, present stocks
will not be burdensome. Many trad
reserves as 'bearish. There has been
a large reduction in the local short
interest of late but there is said to
be many bears who do their selling
on soft spots. and run in on bulges.
Corn sales Of wheat were 95, 900
bushels. Corn $4,000 bushels, oats
10000 bushels. Export sales in all
positions aggregated 10000 bushels,
mainly M~anitobas.
Baine and Weber: The fax mar
ket had a little furry on opening May
reaching $1.57 1-2 but buying demand
was limited and when supplied values
reacted at last close. 1t looks like
some of larger interests were after
May. Selling scattered with part
seeming to-come from Winnipeg.
Logan and Bryan: Considering the
improved covering for the winter
wheat states, the tone Of the trade is
remarkably strong.
Harris Winthrop Co.: Look for
.tinuance of the decreasing stocks.
s. B. Chaplin and Co.: Good snow
covering now envelopes the winter
wheat belt and without brisk export
buying prices will be hard to hold at
this level.
