I fc 1ww' t'jy 4$' V*'^lWySif 10 Barnes Leads the Pit Trading, and Pierce of Chicago Buys Some Cash Stuff. Nothing of Special Importance in Either Foreign or Domestic News. Minneapolis Elevator Stocks In crease 700,000 Bu for Three Days. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Jan. 9. Nothing important enough to move wheat up or down more than a fraction was in hand when the market opened today, the news carrying If *njthing a lather bearish color. Later there was a sharp upturn on good speculative buying which drove the shorts to cover. The big item was the local Increase, which for three day*, is 700,000 bu The wheat keeps piling up here, and some cash grain men are predicting that it will continue accumulating until the laigesf stocks ever kno.vn will appear. There ai of eourse two sides to this. After the larger crop of last season and the long unbroken period of food weather that favored country marketing of wheat, stocks In country elevators ran up to enormous figures. TUeie were no official reports obtainable, hence no one knew just how big they were, but estimates as high as SO.000,000 bu were heard Really these were guesses, not estimates. More recently a local authority of highest reputation put the total at about 20.000.- 00 bu, and this met general acceptance in the trade. It is a fact that there has been no such fcelllng of wheat by farmers of late as would measure up anywhere near the receipts In Mln ftcapolls, and it is clear that a good part of hat has gone Into store here has come ut of store in the country. Such a shifting rocess really means nothing to one calculating tot long-time results., for, however much wheat there is In all, there is that much and no aore. whether It is in the visible or the invisible supply. Speculatively, however, this sort of rea soning is not so forcible, for many traders are influenced by what they can see Thej cart) the approximate visible figures in theii beads and know about how much wheat there was a year ago and two years ago. and It is hard to get them over to the bull side when they can sep the stocks in creasing every day. Receipts hero this morning were 347 cars compared with only 177 a year ago. Chicago received 220 against 68 and Du luth 15 against 27. Winnipeg had 261 against 98. St. Louis 40 000 bu against 68.000 and Kansas City 49,000 against 30.000 New York sent report of the sale of 15.000 barrels of spring wheat flour for export, but Minneapolis millers did not find improvement in this respect and said that foreign bids had been lowered a little. Shipments posted today showed slightly increasing tendency, 30,986 barrels ap pearing. Cash wheat was in better demand, and the very choicest lots went at l% under May, all of It selling fractionally closer to the option. Pierce of Bartlett-Frazier, Chicago, was In the cash market, which helped strengthen it In the pit Barnes was a good buyer, taking mall lots, but a good many of them and an occasional big lot as well. The foreign markets carried no indication of new development In any quarter. Liverpool was %@%d lower, Antwerp unchanged to %c up, Berlin %c higher and Budapest unchanged. Broomhall's weekly summary reads as follows* United Kingdom and FranceWeather mild and wet, supplies moderate. GermanyWeather has become milder after the frost and snow sup plies of native wheat moderate it is expected purchases of foreign wheat will be resumed in May or June after the Increase of duty.
