SHARP SPURT IN WHEAT, MAY SELLING TO 74&c Market Turns Up in the Face of Rain ReliefSouthwestern Reports Conflicting. INCREASING FEAR OF DAMAGE M o d e r n M i l l e r C h a n g e s O v e r F r o m E x t r e m e B e a r i s h n e s s N e w s o f t h e T r a d e . Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, March 7.The wheat market opened this morning with a ne w influence in sight, that of rain in the southwest. The outlook from the lojal viewpoint w a s firm, with light receipts here, good cash demand and an absence of any ma - terial pressure. Liverpool w a s firm, and closed % to %d higher. A nervous and hesitating feeling arose over the uncertainty in the southwest. The pre dictions were for rain, and it wa s feared that a good downfall would give ground for a bear onslaught, and declines might fol low. Bu t the early advices showed no rains, although it v a s cloudy everywhere. About 11 o'clock Topeka, Kan., confirmed previous rumors of rains in that vicinity, and soon It was reported raining iu a half dozen places In Kansas and throughout southwestern Mis souri. Tho market showed little effect. May having opened at yesterday's close at 78%c, and having sold to 73%c, now eased off t o 73%c where it stuck. Towards noon further advices came saying the rains were not as heavy as at first reported. Chicago had a nibble for some export business. Primary receipts were very light. A llttl6 buying began, and May sold promptly to 74c. Argentine shipments for the week were 1,136,000 budhels, compared with 632,000 last week, and 1,608,000 bushels a year ago. Wheat and flour clearances equaled 179.JO0 bushels. May sold to 74%c at the close and closed at 74%c. July closed at 75%c, and Chicago May closed at 77%c. The indication is for a decrease of about 450,000 bushels this week in local stocks. Pi unary receipts were 356,000 bushels com pared with 052,000 bushels last year, and ship ments were 108,000 bushels, against 345,000 bushels. Minneapolis received 121 cars against 846 last year, and Duluth had 56 against 65. The Modern Miller, whil very conserva tive, changed over a trifle from Its previous tone of pronounced bearlshness. an d for the first time took notice of the rumors of dam age. Th e Miller says: Complaints are being received of damage to winter wheat by drought and high winds in the southwest and by freezing and thawing in the southeast, but as there ha s been no growing weather a s yet to reveal the actual conditions of th e plant, the injury is more apprehended than aotual. The average condition is considered to be favorable. Exnorts of the week were 4,095,000 bu, against 3,234,000 bu last week and 4,230,000 a j e a r ago. These figures, with the large showing from Argentine, foreshadow heavy world's shipments for Monday next, with a probable Increase o n passage. Elevators were bidders for No. 1 northern to arrive ,at %c over May. Th e spot No. 1 was taken u promptly by local millers, and the bulk of it brought l c over May. Receipts are light enough to make the maintenance of th e premium easy, and millers have been obliged to draw a little wheat out of termi nals for a day or two, even though the flour production Is not very heavy. No. 2 northern Is in good demand also, and sold to-day from 72%c to 73%c. No. 3 wheat brought 71% 72%c. and there wa s good demand for the low grade stuff on a range of 66c to 70%c for re jected and no sr-ade. Men.. May.. July..

Special to The Journal. Fargo, N. D., March 7.Some time ago a report was sent from Jamestown and widely circulated that the wife of Rev. William May of Grand Rapids, in this state, had fallen heir to a fortune. The reverend gentleman is now in Denver, and writes that the reports were greatly exaggerated. Mrs. May received some $7,000 by the death of a relative and he r father's estate in Buffalo ha s rapidly in creased in value, but her share will not reach anywhere near the half-million mark first reported. Mr. May has aban doned the clerical profession and engaged in other business in the Colorado metrop olis. N O X - S L ' F P O R T A L L E G E D J . G.

Lewis: Following from McPherson, Kan. : "W e have yours of the 4th i n s t , an d in reply would say that w e take considerable pains to get reports and we also made an examination ourselves, and we cover one-fourth of the Btate of Kansas very thoroughly. W e do know that there are many fields here that are entirely gone, and that the damage is all the wa y from a total loss up to a very poor prospect. Take this county, for instance, there is at least 30 per cent damage. If w e have the same weather the next tw o weeks that we have had for the last one week, the damage will in crease." Des Moines wires: Weather fine and spring like. Farmers getting ready for seeding. Prospects for early opening. Wheat fields looking fine." N o reports from first hands until after seeding. Liverpool spot wheat, firm and unchanged to %d higher. Corn, quiet and unchanged. Danubian wheat shipments, 424,000 bu corn, 952,000 bu.

A letter received from a grain shipper of Grlswold, Iowa, says: In m y opinion there will no t be another car of corn shipped from this station on this crop. I N V E S T M E N T G O S S I P N ew York to Whalle-n: There has never been a movement in Wall street explained un - til it wa s over. The big stocks are advancing, not o n what they are paying, but what they are earning, and on account of their vast treasuries. This will later tell right down the line. For the moment it looks a s if gold shipments would surely check the advance. New York to L. T. Sowle: Th e bears are not making much progress. Investors will* not sell their stocks at these prices. The general public will neither buy nor sell unless there Is some radical change. I cannot see where any heavy decline can come from. Watson, gossip from Waldorf: According t o views expressed to-night by leading brokers and prominent operators, the market is likely to b a shado off on rather dearer money, but on any reaction nurchases will be in order. It is pointed ou t that the remarkable advance in North-Western has done more than any thing else to give tone to the speculation. Good Information Is that this movement is discounting the placing of North-Western pre ferred on a 10 per cent dividend basis. This would open the way for the long expected in crease in the diivdend on th e common. St. Paul, it is said, will get the usual 3 per cent dividend at the directors' meeting next Thurs day, but this will not prevent its working higher.
