May Going to S7y8c and Showing
the Effects of Selling Out of
Long Stuff.
Cables Disappointing and Flour
Trade Not GoodLocal
Stocks Gaining.
Good Weather Will Bring the
Wheat In from the Country
Again.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Dec. 7.
Disappointing cables and less favorable reports
of flour business made wheat heavy when the
maiket opened today and sent prices down. It
was general comment that tue mills could not
be doing as much as the bulls claimed, for ship
ments were down to 58,000 brlsa satisfactory
mo\ement ordinarily, but light compared with
recent figures. Moreover, the local stocks were
not expected to increase. To yesterday the gain
for four days was 525,000 bu, and as only 185
cars turned up here it was thought impossible
that the elevator should gain again, as milling
demand would naturally absorb all in sight Yet
stocks had lncieased by 630,000 bu to this morn
ing. The effect of the light run may not be
shown until tomorrow, but an Increase of 600,000
for the week seem* certain In any case. The
comparison with last year is bullish, for at
that time stocks weie gaining 1,000,000 a wek,
and on Dec. 10 were up to 12,457,000 bu, while
Saturday next will probably show not over
7,250.000 bu heie. There is wheat to come,
however, and with a fair movement and an
elevator accumulation at the present ratio it
would not taue long for stocks to run up to i
last year's top figures, which were 14,379,000 bu.
For today the comparisons were strengthening.
858 cars and 622 at Minneapolis, 103 and 100
at Duluth and 33 and 16 at Chicago. Kansas
City had 50,000 bu against 59,000 and St Louis
received 48,0 against 49 000. Winnipeg had
212 cars consisted with 213
Argentine (.ablcs reported the weather good,
but Bioomh.ill had some advices from India that
were not veij favoiable.

Millers put up pi ices foi millstuffs, but flour

Calumet & Arizona has treated 520,000 tons
of ore to date and has produced 8,200,000
pounds of copper, an average of slightly under
8 per cent for the entire period. The average
of production of copper given for Its entire
period of operation has been about 7% per
cent. There is no company in the world that
can show such figures for so long a period on
so large an output. The situation Is very
strong. Lake Superior & Pittsburg is in de
mand at $45, 'and Calumet & Pittsburg at
$37.75. The Bonanza Circle peonle closed a
deal this moraine whereby they take over the
Keweenaw Central and they will reorganize a new
company and sell the stock at par to the
original holders of the stock of the Lake Su
perior & Western Developing company, which
was later reorganized into the Calumet & Ari

has recently made an advance from $8 to $20.

course of the general market. Lead sold a
point over yesterday's closing. Reading and
New York, Chicago & St. Louis recovered 1%
from the decline and Brooklyn Transit and
Amalgamated Copper rallied strongly. Linseed
preferred rose 1% over yesterday.
