Traders saw the possibility of a, tieftip In the northwest and made haste to buy. Thfie was enough selling to check It after a bit| and send prices back half way. The gov ernment report to come this afternoon is the bigfthlng, and after it hat. beta* received /the trale will know better what to figure upon in thefway of supplies. That it will be a bearish repsrt is still the expectation. Many have sold wbiat heavily short, and, with paper profits al ready large, stand to make big profits on the break expected to follow. The bulls, on the othfr hand, believe that the report will mark a furn for the better. They figure that the tinte Is ripe for a squeeze that will send the ahofcts into the market on the buying side, and believe that If the report is bullish in the least degree the market will show quick re sponse. The corn traders are waiting for the report with equal anxiety. Trade was light on. the whole, for while the snow and the good cash demand caused activity in the pit, the ordsrs for the most part were for small lots a n* the total business small. Brokers expect things to liven up after the report is out of the way. Argentine shipped out 4,072.000 bu for the wee* against 3,704,000 last week and 2,760,000 a Jrear ago. Despite this, Liverpool was up ,%ffl%d at the close. Minneapolis received 249 cars against 303, Dnhith 23 against 10, Chicago 23 against, 18. Winnipeg had 60 cars against 21.

Minneapolis stocks decreased about 100,000 bu for. the week. Fred McCord was back on 'change from a long trip thru Iowa and Missouri. Stocks of corn and oats thru the country, especially thru Iowa, are very light, surprlsiugly so. Much of the coarse grain was taken to the gulf by the lines running that way during the recent period of rate-cutting. The Modern Miller says: "Weather conditions the past week have been seasonably favorable for the winter wheat crop. Raius have been general and in some sections were needed. The plant in most 'ections show* improvement over early winter conditions. There is no evidence Of damage as et where it was feared that the covering of ice had smothered the plant." Minneapolis shipped out today to mills 104 cars of whpat. 116 yesterday and 119 two days ago. Minneapolis mills shipped 60,000 brls of flonr today and 238 cars that weie loaded out of Minneapolis elevators. Of receipts today, the Great Northern brought in 120 cars, leaving only 125 for all other roads. Of wheat loaded out of Minneapolis today, 32 cars were No. 1 north ern and 83 No. 2 northern. The outgoing fig ures can be counted on for several months to come. It will tell on the northwest supply after a bit. Broomhall's Argentine cable says weather con ditions are Improving, but considerable damage hnj been done to wheat in stacks by recent heavy rains. No progress has been made In re sumption of work on the Southern railroad, grdat congestion continuing and traffic being to tafly disorganized. Loss to shippers will be mast serious. Delay in shipping by Babia is estimated at 40 to 60 days. Sellers very firm in their views. Stay sold down to $1.09%, closing at $1.10%.

CHICAGO GRAIN COLDER "WEATHER HAS STEADYING EF- FECT ON WHEAT MARKET. Chicago, March 10.Colder weather generally thruout the country had a steadying effect on the wheat market here today. Trading was very light, partly as a res.ilt of doubt concerning the showing of the government report to be issued today. May opened %@%c lower at %c higher at $1.13f4 to $1.14V4. and held around $1.14. July opened a shade higher to %@%c lower at 93%c to 94%c. After touching 93%@ 9o%c the price steadied around 94@94%c. Min neapolis, Duluth and Chicago rewrted receipts of 295 cars, against 282 cars last week and 340 cars a year ago. Later in the day the market broke sharply on heavy selling ot the July delivery. The pressure on July was brought out by a bearish report of a St. Louis trade paper, claiming the .fall sown crop to be in excelleuc condition. On the break July sold off to 92c.

SOO PREFERRED TAKES A JUMP MAKES ADVANCE OF 2*4 IN THE EARLY TRADING. Opening Prices Show Upward Tendency Metal Stocks, Coalers, New York Central and Union Pacific the Lead- ersTwin City Rapid Transit Shows Strength. New York, March 10.Opening prices of stocks today sturted upwards with some vigor, es pecially for some of the metal stocks and coul eis. New York Central and Union Pacific also made laige tractional^gulu*. Hocking Valley jumped 2)i Tennessee Coul, Lead and Canadian Paclnc gained about a point and Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio and Smelting a large fraction. Striking gains were registered in a number of stocks, but only a few of these ranked of first Importance. Business was rather poorly dis tributed, the specialties and obscure stocks re ceiving much attention. The spurt in New Yoik Central to 100% and the consistent demand for Canadian Pacific did* not arouse much enthusiasm in the standard stocks. Realizing was effectual in Reading, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Advances reached 3 points in Tennessee Coal, 214 in Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie preferred and United States Reduction preferred, 2 In New York Central and Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, 1% in .Canadian Pacific and Chesapeake & Ohio and 1 to 1% in Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie, New York, Chicago & St. Louis, Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic preferred, Federal Mining preferred, Twin City Rapid Transit, Colorado Fuel, Republic Steel, Realty, Sugar and People's Gas. New York Central was carried back a point t.n u'dlizing and prices yielded in sympathy, lue rise- in St. Paul to 181 and gains of a point or more in the local tractions steadied the market, but trading became quieter. Rock Island preferred, Smelting preferred and Federal Mining preferred declined 1 to 1%, and Allis Chalmers preferred 2%. There were gains of 1 to 1% in Chicago Terminal preferred, Toledo, St. Louis & Western preferred, Paper, Detroit United Railway, United States Reduction, Re public Steel, Pressed Steel Car preferred and Corn Products. Twin City Rapid Transit pre ferred rose 2%. Bonds were steady at noon. Bull speculation was rampant for a while in some of the eastern stocks, particularly Ches apeake & Ohio, and the Junior Vanderbilts. Union Pacific, St. Paul, Pennsylvania and Illi nois Central all received a measure of atten tion at times. Union Pacific ran up to 135%, and after losing nearly all of it, rose aaew. New York 'Central was neglected while its sub ordinate stocks were booming. In general the market was one of special movements, profes sional operators shifting frequently into stocks that gave promise of a profitable turn. The early afternoon advances were Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis 3%. Canada South ern and Chesapeake & Ohio 2%, and Pennsyl vania, Illinois Central, New York, Chicago & St. Louis second preferred, North-Western, St. Paul preferred, Consolidated Gas and Virginia Coke 1 to 1%. Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha exceptionally lost 4 points. Amalgamated Copper and Ontario & Western were late additions to the day's gains. Both stocks hardened about a point. At other points profit-taking sales had some effect, but the mar ket for the most part held well on the lessened demand. Federal Mining rose 4%. The market was inclined to drag. But rumors of a dividend increase carried up Chesapeake & Ohio to 58. Krie made a late but small rise and Smelting recovered to a point over last night. Federal Mining jumped 9%. Leather preferred gained 1% aud Laclede Gas preferred, Knickerbocker Ice preferred, Paper and Chicago & Alton-1. while Chicago & Alton preferred fell 1%. Realizing made its effect felt. There were declins of 1 in Lackawanna, Dlaware & Hudson. Central Railroad of New Jersey. Atlantic Coast Line and United States Rubber. The excited buy ing of Chesapeake & Ohio pulled up the Penn sylvania group in sympathy at the last. Penn sylvania rose 2%, Norfolk & Western 1% and Baltimore & Ohio about a point.
