Wheat and rye came through

some of the wheat growing
counties report that wheat has
been injured some by the wet

WINNIPEG CENTER
 SENSATIONAL PRICE 1 CHANGES IN WHEAT
Simultaneous Buying at Win nlpeg and Unloading at Chicago Was Basis For
 Late Fluctuations
By Assaelated q Press

By ASsQclaLSu ATcss
 Chicago. May 30.--Interest in the wheat trade eentered today at Win nipeE, where of late big operations connected with Chicago dealings have been reported as in progress. 1t has been the general understanding here that a huge spread. that is simulta- nus buying at winnepeg and selling at Chicago, was largely the basis of ehe sensational price changes which have characterized the Chicago wheat market during the last few weeks, and which have been to a great ex- tent responsible for the sudden ship ment of about 1o,o0o,ooo bushels of wheat to Chicago.
 With a holiday suspension of busi- ness today on the Chicago board or trade, leaders in the wheat market watched closely for any unusual de- velopments at Winnipeg. It was as- sumed in some quarters that by this time the original big spread between Chicago and Winnipeg had been practically evened up and that the principal Chicago buyers at Winnl- peg had liquidated their holdings, or had otherwise undertaken to dispose of ownership. Inasmuch, however, as no authoritative information ap- peared to be obtainable that sueh was the case, the course or prices To- day at Winnipeg received unusual at- tention.
 The chief figure on the bull side of the Chicago market spent much or L. n n secluded DrlNaIe room at the office of one of his brokers and seemed to take consid- erabie delight in seeing Winnipeg quotations descend for his main op- ponents. the bears in the Chicago market, were reputed to have been big bulls at Winnipeg. An effort 10 obtain an expression of his views on the present status of spreads was fruitless. Similar reticence was ob- served elsewhere in the board Of trade district.
 If the shipment of 10,oo0,000 bush els of wheat to Chicago were taken as criterion for the amount that leading interests here were short on A final settlement of this mohlh dealings, the amount of purchasinS for the same interests at Winnipeg would be approximately equal ac- eording to the gossip which has been current here.
 At one time there was much taiK about possible wheat shipments on large scale from Canada 10 LII trade reduirements in Chicago, The prevailing steep duty rates on I'm ports. however, appeared to prevent any action of the Kind except in com paratively small degree,
 CurpriSipAr amounts or Wncal proved to be obtainable from domes- tic sources and most of the wheat brought here this month has been from the southwest and west NO greater general cleanup of wheat from American farms is said to have ever been witnessed at the end Of crnn SenSnn.
