10 &- 1 Only a Little Lot of Five Loads, but It May Mean Much for Prices. The Report in Just at Close of the Market Corn Also It Sold. Dry Weather Reports Are Still Coming from the South- west. ^Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Nov. 23. Against the two in-portant depressing Influences of'indifferent foreign markets and larger north west receipts, wheat was stubborn and firm early, opening only a shade under yesterday's close at $111% and holding around that figure. The sight of 32b cars in Duluthwhich market has been umnlng behind as a ruleagainst 214 a jear ago, made traders look for a bearish northwest showing, and when Minneapolis was found to have 602 cars against 464 a year ago some selling developed. All this effected was a decline to $1.11 for May, and as soon as it ceased $1.11% was touched. Chicago had 41 cars against 119, Kansas City 64,000 bu against 141,000, and St. Louis 48,000 against 108,000. Winnipeg had 305 cars, of which 37 graded No. 1 northern and 77 No. 2 northern. Minneapolis stocks have Increased 500,000 bu so far in the week. The situation ,in Argentine is in dispute, and cables conflict. Liverpool's opening of %d up xsas due to rain reports, but later that market fell back. Chicago had advices of fine weather, but other private cables made it Just the re verse and told of rains in the provinces of Santa Rejected wheat, 4 cars Fe, Cordova, Entre Rlos and Buenos Aires. This Rejected wheat, 8 cars Is now the price-making factor of first impor- Rejected wheat, 5 cars .70 tance. Harvesting should begin within a few weeks in portions of Argentine and the weather up to that time will be watched with greater Interest than ever. Later cable advices made the weather clear today and the rain advices Were found to cover conditions up to yesterday only. In our own country the weather remains un changed and the southwest continues to pray for rain. The news from Kansas and Nebraska Is now unfavorable in the extreme in some cases, and nearly all messages close with the statement that much damage has already been done and that unless rain comes soon the winter wheat crop prospects will be lowered very materially. No Immediate relief appears in sight. This morning it was cltar and pleasant at Omaha, St. Louis and Kansas City and there was nothing in the forecast to help out. A live question is that of accumulation of etocks in the northwest. The total in Minneapo lis elevators for the week last year ending on date coi responding to Saturday next was 6,866,- 000 bu. The total this year is 8,952,000, with two days yet to come, a known Increase so far of 500,000, and prospect of an increase in all for the week of 750,000 to be added. Duluth had 1,216,000 bu a year ago Saturday next, and has now 4,864,000, with chances about a stand oft, but probably favoring some increase for the week. So long as stocks are well above last year and continue to increase it will be a handi cap upon the bulls. The Kansas state report puts the wheat condi tion at 88, and says dry weather damage is es pecially heavy in the wheat belt condition as low as 60 in some counties. The condition a year ago was 90. The acreage now is 5,906,000, an Increase of 89,000 over last fall. The wheat yield this year, 64,000,000 bu. The September estimate was 63,000,000 bu. A year ago 94,000,- 000 was raised. The corn yield is 132,000,000 against 170,000,000 a year ago Primary receipts 1,049,000 against 1,466,000 a year ago. The forecast: Minnesota, South Dakota ]Pair, cooler, brisk northwest winds. North Da- kotaFair. NebraskaFair, cooler. Kansas Fair westerly winds. Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin Fai tonight and Thursday cooler in east por tion Thursday. IllinoisFair, cooler Thursday and in northwest portion cooler tonight. In diana, MichiganFair, cooler. Just before the close the report came from the seaboaid that five loads of wheat, twenty 'loads of corn and 50,000 bu oats were sold for export. This sale of wheat, altho a very small lot, made the moat important news item of the day, for if wheat can be sold for export condi tions arc entirely different from those ruling when the decline began. It was too late to- learn more 4pout it, but the sale was confirmed. December wheat closed at $1.08%@1.0S%$ May at 111 THE FLOUR MARKET BETTER DEMAND, BUT ORDERS FOB SMALL LOTS. Sales were more numerous today and business brisk, yet the total new business was not so heavy as the increased activity would indicate, as orders were principally for small lots. In quiry for flour is undoubtedly better, but when millers talk of it they take only a modeiately cheerful view and say that the near approach of the close of navigation and higher freight rates to follow account In part for the buying, and whether or not sales will continue to run heavy Is a matter that still remains to be demon strated.

MISCELLANEOUS NEW YORK COTTON, Nov. 23.The bearish construction put on yesterday's installment of the census report was etident again this morn ing, in spite of the fact that Liverpool barely responded to the local declines of the previous day. The local cotton maiket opened steady on the cables at an ad\ance of 2@4 points, but soon weakened under more or less general sell ing, with prices breaking to within a few points of the lowest level they have occupied since the culmination of the bull campaign of last season. Trading was active. It was reported that another installment of the census report would be issued today, and it was feared that this report would show a large amount of cot ton ginned in states other than Georgia. Re ports from the south indicate, however, that in some instances spot offerings are being with drawn, while eastern spinners were active buj ers. This promoted more active covering, and prices toward the end of the first hour rallied about 5 points.
