Receipts Still Light, but Cash Trade and Flour Demand 4 Quiet. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Feb. 8. tatbing developed in wheat tbls morning im srtant enough to change the market or lift IS bat of the rut. May held to 11:30 a. m. close So $1.15%, moving only fractionally up or down. !The pit was dead. Not one good-slaed order $ame in, and for an hour during the dullest Sart scarcely anything vtas done. This lack Of interest the bears viewed as highly favor able to their side, for dullness usually means good time to strike the market What would have happened had anyone tried to unload a big lot this morning is uncertain, and as no big lot came on sale the market remained untested. 4*ft to itself, May wheat would probably sag ff. but it is noticed that whenever any heavy idling starts, support Is forthcoming. What irould happen if anyone tried to buy a big lot about as uncertain. Wheat is so light in the i that, left to itself, the market would rise pi cent or two on the filling of a half dozen fair orders. B#t the- action of the market of late has shown that, as there is support on the &uylug side when sellers begin to hand out jthe wheat, just so there Is always a big lot coming fiom no one kno-*s where to sell when all the pit has turned to th,e buying side. The Ismail trader meanwhile is discouraged, for he ^vants action. One set of opinion's tell him that Jhe dullness cannot continue, that some day the Wall street holdings of 10 000,000 to 20,000,000 tou will be unloaded and wheat will go down 10c. Another set tells him something quite the reverse, and he finds John W. Gates, supposed* So be the bull lender, quoted as saying that *here is a short Interest of 10,000,000 to 15,000,- 4)00 bu and only 8.000,000 bu wheat to fill ales from, and all the bulls have to do is to i still and in good time the bears will have buy in and they will ran the market up in Jnanner sensational.

Macaroni wheat in the rust-affected districts of the Dakotas and Minnesota, in season of 1904, yielded ten to thirty bushels per aero with a test weight of 54 to 60 pounds per measured bushel. "While ordinary spring wheat in the same localities produced four to ten bushels per acre with a test of 40 to 52 pounds. It was demonstrated plainly that ma caroni will withstand the ravages of rust, and it is also well known thai it will produce a full crop with less rain fall than other wheat.t 'Macaroni ig being successfully milled, and the market is steadily broadening.

New York, Feb. 8.Prices started upwards briskly in the opening dealings in the stock market on well-distributed demand. Union Pa cific, Reading, Ontario & Western, St. Louis Southwestern preferred and International Power gained a point or more, and St. Paul, Baltimore & Ohio and Consolidated Gas a large fraction. After a succession of small advances and de clines arising from the opening strength and traders realizing, prices urged strongly up wards under the leadership of Reading and On tario & Western. Both stocks weie absorbed in huge blocks, and established gains of 2% and 2% respectively during the first hour's busi ness. The numerous specialties figured extensively in the buying movement and made material ad vances, but the standard railroad stocks rose only moderately. Among the Important gains was United States Rubber preferred 5%, Great Northern preferred and Federal Mining 3, American Agricultural Chemical and North-Western, New York Cen tral, Chicago Terminal preferred, Illinois Cen tral, Consolidated Gas, Virginia-Carolina Chemi cal, Pacific Mail, Realty, United States Rubber, Woolen and American Agricultural Chemical pre ferred 1% to 1% Reading was well sustained and a number of industrials were lifted sharply, but realizing at other points made inroads on prices. The Met ropolitan stocks, Tennessee Coal, Chicago & Al ton, Kansas City Southern preferred, Detroit Southern and National Lead preferred were forced 1 to 1% under last night, and some of the market leaders a fraction. Central Railroad of New Jersey, Rock Island preferred, Texas & Pacific, General Electric, Westlnghouse Elec tric, Enameling, Pacific Mall, Republic Steel preferred, Realty and AlHs-Chalmers meantime rose 1 to 2 points, Rubber Goods preferred 2 "and United States Express 3% There was a sale of 100 shares of Burlington at 250. Bonds were steady at noon. Spasmodic bidding up of selected stocks had but little effect on the general market, and much irregularity was manifested in most of the prices. Manhattan's rapid rise of 3 points after 12 o'clock and Reading's bulge to 97 did little more than steady the market. Metropolitan Street Railway moved up a point over last night and Metropolitan Securities recovered its loss. North-Western preferred jumped 6 points, while American Express fell oft 5. The recovery In the metropolitan tractions carried Metropolitan Street Railway 2% and Metropolitan Securities over last, night. Pa cific Mall rose 2% and Federal Mining 6. The general tone was rather heavy and the local tractions reacted 1 to 1%. Lead and Pacific Coast lost 1. Baltimore & Ohio was run up a point at 2 o'clock.

MISCELLANEOUS NEW YORK COTTON, Feb. 8.The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 5 6 points on firm cables and covering by yesterday's late sellers. The Liverpool market early had shown weakness, but later rallied, the feature being the large spot sales, amounting to about 14.000 bales at a decline of 8 points. Cables showed continued firmness, the weather south was un favorable, receipts small and most reports claimed little spot offering. Consequently, while the recent big advance in connection with the large surplus furnished by the present crop restricted general buying, there was no aggressive selling and prices fol lowing the call worked gradually upward, be ing about 12 to 16 points higher by the 'middle of the morning.
