Minneapolis May Rises to 85%c,
and Chicago May Also Closes
Up Very Strong.
Good Weekly Export Business in
WheatNews and Gossip
of the Day.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Dec. 20.
Wheat showed a much better tone today 'n
the early part of the session, for the Liveipool
cables were firmer and prices up %d. Many
other things were bearish, but the market had
become more used to them and the bears
could not use them BO effectiTely. The in
crease in Minneapolis stocks will be heary.
The estimate is for a gain of 1,850,000 bushels
in tomorrow's report. This will be the biggest
gain shown for a long time. So long as wheat
continues coming in at the present rateSOS
cars today, against 159and the flour mills
remain closed in greater part, this ac
cumulation will go on. The bulls belleTe that
after the turn of the year the mills will grind
heavier and more wheat be consumed. The
millers themselves do not look for full recov
ery in flour demand until mid-January. Until
it comes there will be much pressure on fu
tures thru the cash wheat market. Today No.
1 northern old at 2%@2%o under, and de
mand was poor. It was not easy to get top
prices, except for very choice stun*.
Duluth ran over with 100 cars against 44,
and Chicago got 10 against 17. The Winnipeg
comparison was 1S3 and 70. Kansas City re
celved 40,000 bushels against 93,000, and St.
Louis 54,000 against 47,000.
Clearances, 807,0000 bushels.
The shorts covered a little wheat early, put
ting May above 85c here. Chicago was more
active. Some information came from the south
west of a less favorable condition In winter
wheat, but the trade was inclined to doubt
whether there has been any material change
for the worse. The market felt It however,
and was firmer on it.
The Modern Miller says of the crop outlook
that, excepting scattered reports of freezing and
thawing weather in the northern section of the
winter-wheat belt, and of rank growth in the
southern tenitoiy, and fears of unfavorable con
sequences, the reports in general on the crop
indicate that the condition is good for the sea
son of the year.
Broomhall's weekly Argentine cable says the
wheat market is quiet, with small demand.
Advices from the interior state that wheat hai
vesting is making faatisfactory progress in Santa
Ke, and the quality is superior to that of last
year. The Argentine corn market is dull, with
small demand. Arrivals from the interior small,
^lality satisfactory. Refreshing rains have fal
len which have been beneficial to corn.
Biooinhall also cabled that, according to a
cable from Kurraches, India, crop prospects are
good. The Spanish wheat crop is officially es
timated this year at 81,600,000 bu. A year ago
the crop was 96,000,000 bu.
Primary receipts 925,000 bu against 377,000
a year ago.
A Chicago house wired that Topeka, Kan., says
winter wheat condition will not be over 60 per
cent and reports a critical condition in counties
showing heavy yield last year. Kansas City
bays men have talked with the owner of the line
houses thru Kansas, Oklaboma and reports are
of an excellent condition thruout Kansas and
Oklahoma except that a few counties in the
north, where they had exceptional crops last
3 ear, are in need ot snow lor the late-sown
wheat.
Town, a miller from Anthony, Kan., with a
big line of stations, reports that prospects are
for a bigger crop than ever.
Exports, for the week, as given by Brad&treet's,
were 3,448,000 bu wheat.
THE FLOUR MARKET
THADE STILL VERY DULL-PSICES HOLD-
ING VERY FIRM.
Prices as quoted below are firm and, with
the HgLt output, are not likely to decline much
unless there is a material change in wheat.
Dullness still rules the market. After January
comes in better demand is expected, but le
vival of activity in full is not looked for before
the middle of Januaij.

BULLISH FEELINO IN THE WHEAT PIT,
EARLY IN THE TRADING.
Chicago, Dec. 29.Active bidding by shorts
and commission houses and reports of a strong
market at Liverpool caused a firm wheat mar.
ket here today. A cablegram from Argentine
asserting that harvest operations in that coun
try were delayed by rain offset in some degree
the bullish feeling. May opened %c to %@%c
higher, at 87@87%c to 87%c, and advanced to
87ic. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
ported receipts of 618 cars, against 798 cars
last week, and 220 cars a year ago.
The market remained firm until the close.

A decided flurry was occasioned in old De
cember corn by the lively demand made by
shoits. It opened %c higher, at 60c, and in a
short time sold up to 54o. Trading, however,
was of small volume. Apprehension of a pos
sible "squeeze" before the delivery goes out
tomorrow was the cause of the anxiety of a
number of traders who held short lines.

ARIZONA COPPERS.
A report from B. M. Paterson, superintendent
of the Shattuck, states that on a 700-foot level
they have between 1,600 and 1,800 of develop
ment work, and two-thirds of it in ore. To
day's market shows some signs of life, but
it is evident that no particular movement can
be looked for until after New Year. A $4 as
sessment on Warren has been called, due on
or before Tan. 20. This was unexpected, and
may have a depressing effect on the Atock.
A $4 assessment on Manhattan has also been
called. It is rumored that Denn-Arizona will
not call further assessments on its stock.

RARITIES AT NATIONAL ZOO
From the Washington Star.
A pair of the rarest American animals have
been received at the national zoological park,
and are attracting much attention from natural
ists and others interested in the oddities of
the animal world. The new additions are
known as mountain beavers, altho they do not
belong to the beaver family at all. They are
somewhat like woodchucks, and live in the
dense woodlands between northern California
and Washington state. They are described as
rare, shy and peculiar. They live in burrows
in the damp woods, and are rarely ever seen,
as they scamper Into their holes at the slight
est noise. The pair at the Zoo are said to be the
first ever held in captivity, and much trouble
was experienced in capturing them.
The authorities of the Zoo have Just com
pleted Important improvements in connection
with the beaver dam. This dam was entirely
the work of the busy beavers. It is built in
a small valley, and Is nine feet in height by
seventy-five feet in length. There was so much
wash during rainy periods that the dam be
came filled with sand. The authorities of the
park took the matter in hand and constructed
a concrete culvert, which Is so arranged with
an automatic contrivance that it carries the
storm water into Bock creek when there la a

NEW Y0BK COTTON, Dec. 29.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of 8@5 points,
or just about ss doe on cables. The room trade
was bearish on a cable from Liverpool an
nouncing that one of the leading English crop
authorities had raised bis estimate of the yield
from 10,250,000 to 10,600,000 bales, and the
market ruled nervous and unsettled during the
first hour, with prices about 9@10 points below
the closing figures of yesterday. Trading was
not active and aside from the selling of a few
professionals, seemed mostly in the way of even
ing up preparatory to the holiday tomorrow and
Monday. It was- the first notice day for Janu
ary contracts, and about 25,000 bales were issued
but had no appreciable Influence on the mar
ket.
