THE FOREIGN1 Jflfjieat Strengthened by the Austria Hun|ary Crop Report Out To-day. v July Sells to 79y8c and September \ Above 72i/8c Both Options Closing Strong. European Outlook Bullish and the Bears Afraid to Stay Short ] Very Long. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, June 15. The wi-ek opened in wheat with a complete change in factors of influence and the tiade Inclined to look at many things that were p.iseil over last week. Attention has been dhccted almost entirely towards domestic crop conditions, but with the opening of the specula t e !- maiket this morning came foreign advices ef i nu.ure decidedly strengthening and inipor tunt enough to overshadow other considerations tot the time. July wheat sold early to 79c and September to 72c on the foreign news in which the Au-tria Hungaij crop report was the most important item. The official estimate is for a ci up of 141,600,000 bu against a yield last year of 169,600,000 Not only does this represent a lioitago of 28,000 000 bu, compared with last year, hut it will mean the smallest j ield in Austria-Hungary for six years. That this re port is taken as meaning something is clearly piovcd by the action of the foreign markets, which Armed up at once. Paris was %c to l c UJJ all around, and Liverpool closed %d higher on wheat and %d up on corn. London sent over a cuble to the effect that it is the opinion in tlio grain trade there that English crops will be light and that there Is no doubt that Russia will have something of a shortage. The French yield will bo below the average and Germany's crop is l o to 15 per cent under last jear. This means a big hole in Europe to be filled and bears out whst Broomhall has been reporting all along, that oven if our yield is as heavy as expected tuiope will need all our surplus. There Is an active bear element in wheat and traders on the bear aide are continually putting out short lines and taking them in again. No bt ar, at least In the local market, cares to si and short very long on any sign of firmness. The development of anything adverse in winter wheat or Bpring wheat would mean a big bull market. It may seem unnecessary to dwell upon this fact, since it is always so, and ordi naiv common sense tells any one that any ciop Injury in any year means strength. But this .ienr there is no doubt that the situation is inula ticklish for the bears than usual. Ordi nurily, September wheat should be higher. From what is known of European requirements wheat would have advanced beyond its present level in an ordinary year. It has not advanced be cause this promised to be an extraordinary year for America in the first Indications. Allowing for the decline in condition during a month P'lst, there still remains the possibility of an American wheat crop above anything formerly pioduoed. This is what keeps many from buy ing wheat, and makes the bears aggiesslve at times when reports from the growing ciops run especially favorable. But let a wet harvest come over winter wheat or anything bad devel op in tho northwest and there will be good buy ing from many who know the European situa tion and are only hesitant aa to whether it is time to bny now or wuhether one should wait yet awhile. Locally the receipts ^vere lighter than had been expected, and the 370 cars in compared with 485 loads last year made it look as if re celpts are not to run so heavy as was predicted. Puluth had 69 cars against 11. At primary points receipts were 461,000 bu against 606,000 last year, and shipments 176,000 against 436,000. .Wheat and flour clearances equaled 677,000 bu. World's shipments were 11,059,000 bu against 12.229,000 last week and 7,400,000 a year ago. The quantity on passage a t35,752,000 bu shows decrease of 69,000 bu. The visible decreased by 2,707,000 bu. The market was strong and active near the close, July selling to 79V6c and September to 72V6@72y.*c, both options closing strong at high points of the da Excellent demand was noted In the cash mar ket, and while theie is more wheat coming mill ers still have to draw to some extent upon ter minals to meet requirements. No. 1 sold from 80c to SO He. THE FLOUR MARKET DEMAND GOOD AND PRICES VERY STRONG ON ALL GRADES. The opening in flour gives promise of a good week. Millers had a number ot pretty good orders in early this morning, indicating a dispo sition on the part of domestic buyers to place larger orders than foimerly. The export inquiry is lair and bids were received this morning so jrlose to the millers' figures as to make the out look good for buainess. Shipments, 53,337 barrels.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP Whallon, Case & Co. from New York: Those who have not the courage to buy when stocks are weak are always talking bull market when the rally comes. The entirely unnecessary decline of the past ten days has very laigelj recovered in the rally of. two. A considerable amount of short interest has been eliminated and the mai ket now must be viewed as to Its future. With the prospect of a 5 to 6 per cent in the money market for the next six months there Is no use In talking about stocks on a 4 per cent basis being on the bargain counter. There Is considerable uncertainty as to crops and many believe that a business depression is probable. On the other hand, railroad earnings are good and stocks are selling at prices that would bring the Investor a good return for his money. It looks as If we would have a two-sided mar ket.

Several of these will be the permanent homes of members, while others are reserved for the accom modation of visitors. A dining hall oc cupies the greater portion of the top floor, although enough space is reserved for a model kitchen and several private din ing and clubrooms. The club is distinctly a business organization, and an effort will be made to make it self-sustaining. The rooms will be rented for meetings of com mittees of other organizations, and the private dining-rooms will be let for ban quets and dinner parties. The club had its origin in the labors as sociated with the woman's board of the world's fair and was at first a ste nographers' association onl y. I t has been organized upon Its present basis but four years and when it opened its former cozy rooms in the Atwood build ing it had but seventeen members. The membership list now numbers 400 and the officers are: President, Mrs. Mary Bartelme, public guardian of the probate court, first vice president, Miss Annie G. Hammondsecon d vice president, Dr. An nie* White Sagetreasurer , Miss Nellie C. Morrisseysecretary , Mrs. Florence N . Hefter. A number of former Minneapolis busi ness women are numbered among the Chi cago club members and others have en joyed the hospitality of the club on their visits to Chicago. The growing success of the Chicago club emphasizes the re gret fe lt by the small group of Minneapo lis business women, who were virtually interested in the success of the Minneapo lis club that the general interest was not sufficie nt to sustain a, similar organiza tion here. 29% 88 24% 43% 94 114 81% 87% 9% 88 50% 30% 81 24% 43$ 85 22 55% 33% 21 43 '79% 87 9 87 50 30% 80% 2'-!% 42 84% 20% 55 33 20% 41% 94% 145* 79% 87% 9 87 50% 30% 80$ 95 % 150 82y4 88 9% 87% 50 SUA 81i5 25^4 41 85 22y4 67 34 21% 43% 8* S4% 20% 55 33 20% 41% Total sales, 681,400 shares.

The Chicago Business "Women's Club Is one of the successful and useful organiza tions of that city. O n Monday night It formally opened a new and spacious home at 230 Clark street. The quarters were formerly occupied by the Technical Club and are admirably adapted for club use. More than $5,000 has been expended upon the new rooms in improvements and re decorating. The quarters occupy three floors. The south ha lf of the first floor is occupied by a large lounging and read ing-room. Across from this Is the coat room and writing-room, while in the rear of the first floor is the gymnasium. This room was used formerly as a billiard hall by the Technical club, but has been refit ted ,and a large dressing-room has been constructed in connection with it. The lounglng-room, which is even larger than the gymnasium, is decorated in deep pink, and all the woodwork and tables are of dead black, making an effective and strik ing contrast. 64% 88V, 88 89% 62% 88 ' 83 89% 171% 127% 25% 54% 87% 125% 1% 97% 48 , 80% 66 15% 74% 24% 76% 54% Tl% 171 127% 24% 54 87% 124% 1% 96V4 46% 80 65% 14% 74 23% 76% 33% 71 SIOUX CITY LIVE ST0'~ June 15.Receipts Cattle, 1,100 hogs, 4.0.
