SEPTEMBER WHEAT O FF AGAIN STRIKING 6 c feV*' Reactionary Firmness Shown Later The Short InteresUs ""* ' Increasing. ** SHORT SALES AT THE LOW POINT Crop Nevrn Still B e a r U b , txttt P i t T r a d e r s F e a r a. S u d d e n T u r n A b o u t. - Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, July J9.September wheat struck 68c this morn ing ou the down turn, and stuck just a fraction above this point for a time, held down by free selling on every slight rally. Gialn markets were all heavy, on the good weather, liberal receipts and the expecta tion of a continued heavy run ot wheat to market while market conditions are favor able. The northwest had 257 cars against 232 last year, but St. Louis and Kansas City showed up 651,000 bu against 336,000 bu last year. Heavy rains fell around Moorbead in this state. The northwest In general had notning but favorable reports. There was a lack of new speculative interest, some let ting go of long lines by weak holders, and not a little short selling. Even at the 68%c level which represented a pretty fair decline without any reaction, there was short selling. Bradstreet's showed a decrease of 77,000 bu in the world's visible, this against an Increase of 3,919.000 bu at this time last year. The pit traders hesitated a little on this and the market was free from pressure of short sell ing. The local cash wheat market was very firm. There is something of a short interest out in September and while there is nothing In sight to bring an advance and from pres ent indications the market is tending even lower, there is no* the fear that it would not need much of bull news to bring or. a scram ble for cover. Primary receipts were 1,418,000 bu against 1,123,000 last year, and shipments 685,000 bu against 997,000 bu Minneapolis had 162 cars against 95, and in Duluth there were 94 against 137 last year Wheat and flour_clear ances equaled 263,000 bu " firoomhalt cables the requirements of the United Kingdom for next season will be 200,- 000,000 bu of wheat The continent will need 384,000,000 and ex-European countries 56,000,'- 000 bu, making a total of 440,000,000 bu for foreign consumption. He thinks the market Is nearing the bottom. At the close Septem ber was up %c from low point, closing at 68%c. December closed at 67%@67%c. There wan another little touch of interest in May wheat, May closing at 69%c. July was strong and closed l%c higher for the day at 78%c. Millers were unable to fill their requlre xn3nls satisfactorily this morning. There was demand for No. 2 northern and what was on sale was held at 6c over September. Some buyers refused to paythlspremlum, but finally got into line at 5%c over for choice. The local cash market 1B strong with no sign of weakening in the premium, A few cars of No 1 hard came in and sold at 79c. No. 1 northern held at July price to a fraction over Belling at 77 to 77%c. No. 3 wheat sold at 73@73%c. Rejected wheat of good quality old at 72c and no grade went from 72%c down to 68c THE FLOUR MARKET Q u i e t T t n n T o - d a y D e m a n d 'Sot S o H e a v y .

Price. $5 50 6.50 7.25 ' F I N A N C I A L G O S S I P New York to Watson: Market sentiment Is mora fixed than for some time past. This is due in part to the unexpected shipment of nearly $4,"00,000 gorld for export and in part to the fear that he plan for readjusting the capitalization of the Rock Island road may bring about a war between the interests which are behind it and the local bankers and finan ciers itbo view it with disapproval. Hence, some of the larger .houses which have been - aggressively bullish on the market since the begmnig of May are now disposed to hoJ aloof These houses are still bullish for the* pull, and da not look for any serious break in prices unless there is to be a battle ot financial giants, a contingency which, de spite all the talk of ill feeling between the Mores on the one side and the Standard Oil and Morgan interests on the other, is consid ered extremely improbable In point of fact, tbe strength, of such stocks as Missouri Pa cific. Sugar and Amalgamated Copper is be lieved flatly to contradice the many reports that the Rockefellers and their followers have sold stocks freely of late and look for a ma terial decline in values. HE HAD DOUBTS. Brooklyn Eagle. "Of course," he said, "it is more than cour teous to be obliging In all associations with tho fair sex." "Of course." "So far as possible you should do what a girl wants you to do." "Certainly " "If she seems anxious to do a little spoon ing you should spoon." "Naturally." "If she likes flattery, you should flatter." "In moderation, yes." "If she wants sentiment y ou should give It to her " "Assuredly." "That's just common politeness, isn't It?" "Yes " "Well, no one can tell me again that po- liteneES pays. I know better." "What's the matter'" . "Oh, perhaps my chivalrous nature led me to overdo tbe thing, but I've just been sued for breach of promise." Watson & Co Brokers in Grain. Provision*, Stocks and Bonds, members N. Y.
