10 i KfSfSWFg May Sells Down to $1.10, Then Up to $1.11, Closing the ttey at $1.10%. Elevator Stocks Still Hold Jp i. Despite the Heavy Ship ments Out of Here. Good Cash DemandCorn Firm and Steady Thru the Session. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, March 9. 'A. cold wave prediction put a cheek upon the bears this morning, and turned wheat stronger, bat not until May had sold down lower than yesterday to $1.10 From here theie was a rally to $1.11 and the market showed greater resistance against piessure. Chicago Ma) waa up and down betweeu $1.14 and .1.12 Corn firmed up by }c. Greuter btrengch was shown In all markets, but there was much nervous ness and repetition of selling upon every weak turn. In short, the average trader feels that Wheat ought to rally. The indications are the long-continued period of summer weather is to be broken by a turn of March weather of the old fashioned kind. Wheat at $1.10 was down Just 8c from recent high, and could stand a rally of a few cents very reasonably. Yet the men who felt this way were for the most part afraid to put their views into action, for the bear-fever Is on and they were afraid the bot tom had not yet been seen The mjsteiy of the stock changes from dny to day remains unsolved. One firm that has been getting a big hare of the cash wheat consignments had the lightest receipts today since July last, and said that in their entire country line of houses there 1B not in any one house a full carload of wheat. With this the case, and with receipts here light a*nd cash demand good, it would seem that local stocks ought to fall off, but they do Sot. Yesterday only 141 cars of straight wheat were in. At the same time 116 were shipped out. Today there were 244 in against 299 a Ireax ago, and 119 cars went out. This does laot leave any wheat to speak of, considering the Minneapolis requirements, and this sort of thing has been going on for Ave days, and mean While the mills are grinding away, and yet, according to the posted estimate wheat stocks toe five days increased by 15,000 bu. If one foes back a little he may find in the North western Miller, an authority whose milling fig ures have never been questioned, that the Min neapolis mills ground last week approximately 1,800,000 bu wheat, while receipts, less ship ments, were 1 311,000 tuu This shows that Minneapolis Just about broke even thru that period, but for the past several days receipts Have been so much lighter and shipments rela tively so much heavier that the bulls confidently looked for a decrease in stocks. The fact that Minneapolis held up BO well In this respect has been a very bearish thing. The bulls believe there will be a decrease started today that will continue. Duluth had 12 cars toduy against 45, Chicago 10 against 27 and Winnipeg 113 against 62. For the southwest the figures rer 45,000 bu at St. Ixmls compared with 4 000, and at Kansas City 50,000 compared with 90,000. With reference to winter wheat. th Price Current says that the general situation continues favorable, but the weather is not sufficiently ettled and genial to afford much development. Primary receipts were 415,000 bu against 836,000, and shipments 270,000 against 351,000. (Clearances wheat and flour, 14,000 bu. Liverpool closed %@%d higher. Broomhall cabled: "The favorable American crop prospects caused an opening decline of %d In both months, and a further loss of %d in May, but the tone was 6teady, and later May advanced %d and July %d, the factois being a continued good continental demand for Argen tine cargoes shipped for orders, while there was also covering by shorts. Corn, after opening Unchanged, eased off %d for March on the fairly large tenders on contracts, while May advanced U.& ou speculative buying." May closed at lfl.10% and July at $1.07% j@1.08.
