12 fe1 a* The Early Decline on the Good Weather and Lower Liver pool Cables. Later Clearances of 832,000 Bush els and New Export Sales Rally It. GoSSip About Valentine and His Relation to the Ar mour Firm. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Oc 8. Wheat went lower again this morning In the first hour, but not materially lower, and It was tjuick to react. December sold to 73%@78%c and then turned back to 73%e, and May sold to 77%c, coming back again to 78c. Good weather prompted the selling out of small hold ings here, and in Chicago the Pringle firm sold rather freely, presumably Rankin's long wheat. The cables were easier, and Liverpool weak and %@%d lower at the close. Broom hall received the figures for the one day omitted from the Russian table of Monday, and the ship ments from that country were raised from 1,000,000 bu to 8,220,000. This made total world's shipments 11,400,000 bu. The report of the sale of fifty loads of No. 2 hard winter Wheat In Nen York for export firmed up prices, and Chicago at the same time said the export prospects were not very favorable, and neither Winnipeg or Duluth sent anything encouraging. The northwest movement still showed a total In receipts under last year, but the difference was not so great. Minneapolis, with 409 cars against 681, showed a difference of 272 cars, but Duluth, with 368 against 218, made a gain of 170 and cut the combined loss down to 102 cars. Chicago had 34 compared with 38, Winni peg 298 against 416 and the winter wheat mar ket comparisons were 99,000 bu and 106,000 at Kansas Cltj and 34,000 and 58,000 for St. Louis. Minneapolis elevator stocks, altho not falling off at so great a rate, are still decreasing, and for four days there is a loss of 226,000 bu. Broomhall cabled. "Wheat was easy at the opening, with valves %d lovsei, being influenced by the weakness of American cables, the Brad street report and cheaper Manitoba offerings There was some support, however, on the de cline and values gained ^J/id Buying was mostly by speculatois prompted by the strength of cargoes both off coast and on passage, and the scarcity of La Plata offerings. Corn was easy at the opening with values %@%d lower. The market was neglected and weakness being attributed entirely to the lower American cables Muuling of N*w York confirmed 25 loads wheat# foi export. The" market Aimed up on good clearances, 832 000 bu appearing without New Orleans, which was late In reporting. In the total there were 50,000 brls flour. Near the close December sold up to 74*4 74%c on report that the seaboaid business to dav lan to 100 loads wheat Ii Minneapolis cars today there were 86 cars winter and 44 cars durum. They seem to be able to obtain cars to get winter wheat to the markets PiperN Chicago wire said. "Valentine made a play in wheat jesterday that will keep the trade guessing for a few days. He bought 3,000,000 bu December and May, getting it all at one pi ice. Monday he bought 1,000,000 bu Part of the purchases were put down to the Armour Grain company at first, but later tranb ferred upon request of that company to W Wrenn & Co and Requa. The lequest of the Armour company that the trade should be given to other houses was made with a desire to prevent the impression going around that the Armour interests were speculating in wheat in a large way. The Armour house having ceased speculating, and knowing the effect that the buying of such a large line might have on the market if put down to them, they decided not to be a party to it. There is no unfriendly feel ing between the Armour Interest and Valentine, but Aimour is not In the speculative market, the house does not care to be mixed up." Thruout Manitoba the weather has been fine and warm A few scattered showers have oc curred in noithern Saskatchewan otherwise the weather in the western provinces has been fine and for the most part moderately warm. The forecast is Fiesh to westerly winds, fair to day and Thursday, but a few local showers Saskatchewan and Alberta, fre6h, strong winds, a few light scattered showers, but mostly fair and cool The forecast on our side Is for showers in southern and extreme northwest portions of district and becoming unsettled In remaining states by Friday morning. Continued moderate temperatures. The London Statist estimates the world's wheat crop at 3,512,000,000 bu. European re quirements are 529,000,000 bu, or 36,000,000 bu less than last year. THE FLOUR MARKET AZR BUSINESS FRO ML00A1 BUYERS, BUT NO EXPORT TRADE. The market is without important change.

Chicago, Oct. 8.Renewed profit-taking by local longs caused moderate weakness today In the wheat market here. News of the day was favorable to the bears, cables being lower and receipts in the northwest fairly liberal. Ex cellent weather for the movement In the north west also tended to weaken the market. De ctmber opened %c lower at 75%c, and, after selling at 75%c, the price declined to 75c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 831 cars against 548 cars last week and 436 cars a year ago. During the last hour the market became strong on active buying by pit traders, who were actuated by reports of liberal sales for export account at the seaboard and at gulf points.
