TO her straight away and offer her a

When he acquainted her with the

Grain and Produce,

CHICAGO, March 3.-There was q
strong undertone in the wheat mar.
ket at Chicago today. This strength
was a reflection OF the tight situation
surrounding cash wheat, not only
here, but elsewhere.
Exporters reported q more urgent
demand, with sales of 1000 900 bush.
els at the seqboard, besides goodly
transactions at Duluth, st. Louis, Min.
neapolts and New York. No 9 red
winter sold here at . cents over tho
May price In store.
Only Ct. 600 bushels was taken here,
but the business was restricted By
the small offerings, as there was grea.
urgency in the demand, and foreign.
ers were willing TO pay prices asked
by holders. The most bullish news
of tho day came from Kansas City.
a message from that market said that
a sale was made there today of $780,.
600 bushels ut the highest premium
over the future on the crop; that there
is now not over 10000 bushels OF
wheat unsold in store at that point;
that one elevator with $4,000 bushels
has sold all but 10000 bushels, and
that another with sea, 900 bushels has
sold all the wheat held there.
Wheat Growers Stubborn.
. The producer of wheat is again
stubborn in his actions, as he is re.
fusing to let go OF the surplus held
because Of the present low range Of
prices when those OF few weeks ago
are considered. Stocks Of wheat on
the farm have been greatly reduced,
and it is now believed that great
deal of grain held in country eleya.
tors has been purchased by exporters,
and that 1t will be moved out and to
the seaboard as rapidly as vessels
can be secured TO carry 1t abroad.
