SHie Weather Reports, the Move
ment and Statistics All
Against the Price.
But Wheat Closes Up About on a
I Level with Saturday's
i Close.
Northwest Too Wet in Places but
I Generally in Good Oondi-
tion.
i 'Minneapolis Chamber of Commeroe, June 5.
Wheat sold down a bit all around to open the
week, the news running to bear items almo3t
entirely. The rains from Saturday to this mor
ning were wide enough to hit almost every part
of the northwest, altho there were localities that
Seavy,
Ot'only a sprinkle. In other places the fall was
.96 inch at Moorhead, 1.38 around Minne
apolis and 1.10 out at WUUston. The tied
TiVer valley got too much, for rain was not
especially needed anyway, and with more or less
all the wny down, and more falling at day
break this morning, the soil was too wet for the
best showing. Elsewhere, however, the precipi
tation was beneficial On the whole the crop
lineup for the beginning of the week was favoi
ble and some selling was natural. The Chicago
JEtecord-.Herald put a weight on by an estimate
based on mall inquiry of 670,000,000 bu for the
entire crop. Three hundred and fifteen cars
la here took the sharp edge off the cash market,
altbo there was almost as much a year ago, or
1811 care. The bulls turned to the foreign news
for encouragement and found it in Broomhall's
!report of dry weather on the continent, but
any strength that came from this was killed
May the Russian movement, no less than 4,520,000
rta going forward, this swelling the world's ship
ments to 12.648,000 bu, compared with only
,162,000 last week and 10,056,000 a year ago.
Ehe Quantity afloat for Eurupe at 45,440,000 bu
bowed increase of 776,000 bu, nor was there
anything in the statistics, either foreign or do
mestic, to make for strength. Minneapolis had a
decrease in elevator stocks for two days, but it
jwas only 100,000 bu, or less than the bulls ex
pected, 'pie stocks at Fort William and Port
Sfrthur, at 4,812,958 bu, still look big compared
Vita 3.581,504 a year ago, and for the week the
^decrease wa only 28b,610 bu. The movement
l*le*whre was light, except that Kansas City bad
''W.OOOO bu against d2,000. St Louis got 19,000
Sagalnst 40,000, Duluth 5 cars against 23, Chicago
against 18.

L. Marshall, who recently went thru the
I'vFheat fields for the Van Dusen-Harrington com
pany, found a bad spot in the vicinity of Aber

Sain was beneficial and was needed, and that
wnaterial improvement resulted.

CHICAGO GRAIN
BEARISH STATISTICS CAUSE EAEXT
WEAKNESS IN THE WHEAT MAEKET.
Chicago, June 5 Bearish statistics, both for
eign and domestic, caused weakness in the
wheat market here today. a the foreign situa
tion exceptionally liberal shipments from Rus
sia formed the principal source of weakness.
Generally favorable weather was the chief fac
tor in the United States. Selling was quite
feneral. July opened %@^4c to %c lower, at
7%@88c to 88%c, and sold off to 87%@87&c.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts of 822 cars, against 521 cars last week
and 352 cais a year ago.
The market was under general Belling pres
sure the entire session and weakness became
more pronounced as trading progressed. Reports
claiming hai vesting had begun in Oklahoma and
southern Kansas were late factors. For July
the lowest point of the day was reached at
87c. The. market closed weak, with July off
131%C, at 87J/4c.

Ideal weather conditions had a weakening
effect on the corn market. Lower prices at
Liverpool gave bears an additional reason for
selling. July opened unchanged to %c lower,
at 49%e to 49%c, and for a time held around
49%c. Local receipts were 240 cars, with 55
cars of contract grade.
Later sentiment became quite bullish on
covering by Influential shorts. After touching
49%c, July sold up to 50%c. The market closed
strong, with July up }4c, at 49%c.

Mrs. StubbYes, I thought possibly
you were stolen.
Mr. StubbAnd I suppose with your
usual apology for wit you would' say
it was petty larceny, eh?
Mrs. StubbNo, indeed. I would say
it was grand.

WIDE GAINS IN-SEVERAL SPECTJ-
LATIVE FAVOBITES.
Large Purchasing Orders Come Out
Early, but Grains Are Wiped Out by
Realizing Spasmodic Buying, Fol
lowed by Periods of Dullness.
New York, June 8.Prices In the stock mar
ket generally opened the week higher than on
Saturday, and the gains were wide in some of
the speculative favorites. St. Paul rose 1%,
Union Pacific, Reading and Sugar about a point
and Amalgamated Copper, United States Steel
preferred, Brooklyn Transit, Smelting and On
tario & Western a large fraction. There was
a gain of in Chicago & Alton.
Large purchasing orders made their appear
ance after the opening dealings'. Reading, Union
Pacic, United States Steel preferred ana Amal
gamated Copper were the chief centers of the ac
tivity and their strength stimulated the enach,
tire market. Erie second preferred rose 2%,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St Louis 1%
and Atchison, Canadian Pacific, Atlantic Coast
Line, Ontario & Western, Baltimore & Ohio,
.Chesapeake & Ohio, United States Steel pre
ferred, Amalgamated Copper, Smelting and Lo
comotlve 1 to 1%. Realizing wiped out a good
part of these gains before 11 o'clock and Amal
gamated Copper fell to a fraction under Satur
day after the publication of its financial report.
Realizing in Amalgamated Copper carried it a
point under Saturday. Strength In the market
was revived by the 2-point rise in United States
Steel preferred. Norfolk & Western rose 1%,
New York Central and Republic Steel preferred
XM and Southern Pacific, United States Steel and
Tennessee Coal 1. These advances were not
fully held and intense dullness was the feature
at noon. Bonds were irregular.
Slowly hardening prices in the general market
was the outgrowth of the confident absorption of
Ontario & Western, which rose 2% to 52 on
large dealings. Reading and some of the other
low-priced coal stocks were more generally taken
but business in trunk lines was almost nominal.
Spasmodic buying movements in several lead
ing stocks were succeeded by prolonged periods
of dullness and slightly sagging prices. Amal
gamated Copper, United States Steel preferred
and Ontario & Western were each in turn
features of the afternoon. North-Western ad
vanced 2 points.

ARIZONA COPPER
FURNISHED ORANDALL, PIERCE ft CO.,
MINNEAPOLIS.
A big strike has been made on the 1,000-
foot level of the Eidtb May claim of the
North Butte, which gives them practically 600
feet of ore, from the tenth level of the Eidth
May to the sixteenth level of the Jessie claim.
There is 83 feet of ore in this find, and we
continue to recommend purchases or this stock.
The final assessment of $2 per share on Pitts
burg & Duluth has a depressing effect on this
stock. On May 2 the directors of the Ameri
can Development company levied an assessment
of $1,16 2-3 per share on the 12,000 shares
issued. This makes $60,000 which has been
paid in The number of shares was increased
to 90,000, par value $10, making the capital
ization $500,000, with $1 per share paid in.
Hence, the change in quotations from $65 to
$15. The new quotations are figured on a
basis of 4 1-6 shares for one, which the hold
ers of the 12,000 shares will receive by the
Increase in the number of shares.
