review OF THE GRAIN
MARKET, IRREGULARITY Shown

CHICAGO, March 10.-with farm
reserves of wheat many millions OF
bushels smaller than until of late has
been generally supposed. wheat his
week has risen in price for the May
delivery, representing wheat already
on hand.
Later deliveries. meaning wheat to
be harvested this summer and fall.
have eased down. influenced by i'm
provement in the crop outlook. COM
pared with a week ago. wheat prices
this morning ranged from &c decline
to Ike advance: corn was unchanged
TO &c lower; oats off &c to nc to Nc
and provisions off 37c.
Tho approximate amount OF wheat
held on farms came in an estimate by
an expert here whose figures are
widely accepted among traders. This
unofficial estimate, which was vlrtu-
nlly identical with the government re-
port issued three days later. pointed
to an increased domestic consumption
of 5000. 900 bushels as compared with
last year. Rain and snow furnished
help for soil conditions in the greater
part of the winter wheat bet, al
though failing to give much relief In
portions OF Kansas. Nebraska and Ok
lahoma
Only a transient downturn in wheat
values resulted from efforts to con.
strue the government report as bear.

Kinney Coastal OIL Co. is still en-
gagged in making an exhaustive test
of the producing wells at Bolten
Creek in an effort to determine the
best manner in handling the water
situation. No. 10 well of the Iowa
Wyoming OIL Co. in which the Cas-
per Bolton Creek Syndicate is inter
ested. is still pumping at the rate of
about $50 bbls. of oil daily and is
showing a little water along with the
oil. Until this week company has
not been in shape TO make a fair
test OF the field. as It has not had
available storage. With this defect
remedied. the company is now in a
position to make a thorough test of
the wells and a definite statement as
to h water trouble. Company has
started a deep test by drilling No. ..
SEX sections 4-29-s1. deeper from
1000 feet. It is still a disputed ques.
ton as to whether the production
from the deeper wells is coming from
the Embar sand or a stray sand.
