Liverpool-Wheat market strong
with light world shipments and
strength in America. Corn strong with
scarcity of American offers and light
world shipments other than America

Cats market firm with light supplies.
American shipments liberal but moth
ing to United Kingdom as France and
Holland taking literally. Spot demand
good and arrivals moderate with
stocks light. Flour market strong with
good demand and light supplies.

Chicago-Sentiment in the grain
trade has become more bullish. The
traders are disposed to accept the be-
lief that the United States is in
state Of war; and that the close adj
justment of supplies to requirements
in America and the wsrld over war
rants confidence on the part OF hold
ers and higher prices. Corn continues
to advance, making prices for futures
the highest trade has known in years.
While there are large stocks in the
country the bulk Of the holdings Of
country elevators have been sold and
are not pressing on the market. The
short interest has been cut down. but
the impression is that a bull market
is on, despite the high. prices.

Grain Gossip.
Minneapolis a bull stand
point am satisfied with the action Of
the market this morning. The bulls
expected quite an advance in wheat
should the neutrality act become a
law, as, they naturally argued. the
arming of American ships would re-
lease many that are now detained in
port and that clearances of wheat
and flour would be much larger, there
fore the failure of this bill to pass
postpones sailing of American vessels
for a long time. Wilson has called
an extra session of the senate to con-
slider amendment of some of it's own
rules at the present time debate
is unlimited in the senate and
he wants to restrict this to limited
time. He will then daubtless call an
extra session of congress and pass
the armed neutrality bill. In my
opinion market will work higher.
