The seafaring young man had writ
ten his mother an unusually Affection

said, and was bringing her a number
OF presents, among them striped

but, finding herself unable to grapple
with all her sons big words, she
handed 1t to the district visitor for q
second perusal.

that part Of the letter. How nice!"

/ market for sometime. There will be
practically no deliveries in the first
part of May of either wheat or corn
and comparatively few oatsAare ex-
Dected as cash premiums are TOO large.
Were cars obtainable. receivers say
the movement of corn from the coun-
try would be largely increased. More
corn has been sold to arrive from the
country the last few days than for
some time. Considering the price the
movement is small. mainlv due to Car
scarcity. Some Improvement in the car
supply is reported but 1t is entirely
too small for the amount of grain to
be moved A material ietup in the de-
mand for -four is reported by the lead
ing mills. In consequence they are
not buying cash wheat freely and only
take wheat as they make flour sales.

Grain Opinions.
Ware & Leland-Do not believe the
present levels will be maintained and
look for some reaction to occur.
Lamson Bros.-It would seem
advisable to await the outcome for
the growing crop before entering the
market.
Hulburd Warren & Co.-Until hold
ers relieve the situation by selling
wheat or until the pressure of new
wheat bring relief there is little chance
for permanent break.
Dennis Considerable Canadian
wheat is to come to Chicago, Duluth
and Buffalo for distribution and with
normal American crops September
wheat should prove sale on bulEes
for long pull. Oats are much too
cheap comparatively.
