May Breaks From 94%c, the
& Opening Figure, to 92%c,
I Closing Weak.
The Government Report Dis
counted in Full, With the
Usual Result.
The Question Now One of Price,
Relative to the New Crop
Promise.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
Apr il 12.Wheat was weak and lower and
by 11 o'clock May had sold down to 93%c.
This was the old sticking point and May
was down to it for the fourth time in
a few weeks. The bulls felt that if they
could hold it again they might force a
rally. The bears felt that if they could
get it thru they would be able to break
it considerably more, and tried har d, but
there was good resistance. Now that the
government report is out it comes down
to a proposition of the outlook relative to
the price, and whether or not the latter
has discounted the former. A 93%c May
wheat was an even 19c above the closing
figure of the corresponding day a year
ago. I 19c too much or not enough?
There is an acreage in winter wheat
2,000,000 under last year, and the condi
tion of the crop the government makes
20 .8 points lower. This is certainly not
a very good winter wheat outlook. If
sixteen bushels per acre be taken as
probable par, it would figure out about
891,680,000 bushels for the present prom
ise. If 16% bushels be taken, it comes
to about 427,000,000 bushels. How much
the condition will change between now
and harvest time is, of course, a propo
sition about which it is worthless to
guess. The trade knows, however, that
a decline in condition between April 1 and
harvest time is usual. Last year winter
wheat stood at 97.3, or almost perfect,
on April 1. harvest time it was off
to 78. To-day it is starting even lower
than this final figure, at 76.5. The spring
wheat outlo ok is too indefinite yet to cut
much figure. The season is late. This is
not necessarily bad as to probab le final
results, yet it is hardly the thing to cause
increased bearishness. A little later the
spring wheat prospects will be a leading
influence.
There are bearish features. Foreign
competing countries are shipping heavily,
foreign markets are dull and easy, export
business not very goo d, the flour trade
light and cash wheat demand poor, this
latter probably the most potent bearish
feature of all. These things, the bears
say, a re too much to permit of a bult
market, and if they continue pric es will
go lower. The bulls, on the other hand,
contend that these will pass and that in
view of the bullish things in sight wheat
should hold in the nineties.
Minneapolis had 87 cars against 62, Du
luth 39 against 9, and Chicago 28 against
37. Kansas City received 76,000 bushels
against 108,000 last year, and St. Louis
1H.000 against 42,000.
Near the close the market, having brok
en thiu 93%c, turned very weak and fell
oft quickly to 92%c for May, closing weak
at the low point. There wai much selling
out on stop loss orders.
A number of later things helped the
bears. It was known by- a few traders
that the mills will close later in the week
as resu lt of discriminating rates and this
was a help to such of them as were on the
bear side.

Chicago, April 12.The government crop re
port, showing more deterioration In the condition
of winter wheat than had been anticipated, was
the main element of strength In the wheat pit
to-day. The opening was firm, with July %$tV\C

later declined on realizing sales July receded to
88%c, but rallied again to 87M,c. Receipts at
Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth were 154 cars
against 197 cars last week and 108 cars a year
ago.
The market turned decidedly weak during the
latter part of the day, under the influence of a
severe break in ctrn prices. A large increase in
the world's available stocks also caused consider
able selling, and aided the downward tendency.

LakesFloods Certain in the Valley
of the Red When the Melting Snow
Rnns to the Natural Water Courses
All the Flats Inundated.
Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N D., Apr il 12.The
ground over practically the entire state,
and the northwestern part of Minnesota
is still covered with snow from the recent
storm. This snow was wet when it fell,
and immediately began to melt. The fact
that the ground was covered prevented a
flow to the water courses, and conse
quently little of it has found its way to
the river. One warm day will turn It all
into water, and every little stream will be
bank full.
English coulie, which flows thru the
state university grounds was measured' *J0
the other day, and it was found that 1,400 3 gJ{o
cubic feet of water was passing thru it '400
every second. This is a greater volume
than is carried by the Red river Itself at
ordinary stages, and this is but one of
hundreds of such tributaries.
-The present stage of water has inurr
dater flats all along the valley, but thus
far it has invaded few cultivated fields.
Every foot of advance from how on, how
ever will cover more plowed ground. In
Grand Porks the territo ry known as
"Shantytown" is all under water, and the
pauses, or huts, have been floated off their
foundations, being held in place by ropes
attached to trees. Practically all the base
ments in the city have been vacated.
The snowstorm will delay shading for
some time, as there is not a field in the
country that will not be transformed into
a lake as soon as a warm dav comes.
Seeding cannot be general hi-this state
much before May. if the weather is good
from now n. and it has not that appear
ance at present. A little more srow fell
yesterday, and the conditions appear un
settled.

New Tone, April 12.Prices' of stocks

Offerings diminished toward 1 o'clock, but
there were no recoveries of consequence.
Scarcely any Interruption occurred in
the gradual decline of prices in the la te

stocks than in others, but all of the rep
resentative stocks averaged nearly a
point lower.
Pennsylvania, Reading, Southern Pa

NEW YORK COTTON, April 12.The cotton
market opened steady at nn advance of 1 point
to a decline of 3 points, most of the active
months being lower under pressure from the local
bear element in spite of better cahles. continued
light receipts and private advices claiming that
the weather in sor.i sections of the belt con
tinued loo cool to promote the gyowtii of early
planted cotton. There was some buying here for
the account of Liverpool interests, however. New
Orleans also seemed to be sending a few buying
orders and soon after the call offerings becom
ing less aggressive, prices rallied several points,
ruling steady to firm about 5 to 8 points net
higher. Commission houses had a. few buying
orders but in a general way the business ap
peared to be profeKf nn in character and the
market ruled very quiet.
At midday tiie lu-iiui-t was weak net 7@13
points lower. Spot cotton dull, middling up
