1 4 i Wlieat Opens with the Bulls Hopeful, bat the Bears Slain It Again. Increase of Only 5,000 Bu for One I Day in Local EleVator Stocks. Good Export Clearances in Wheat and Flour, Corn and Oats, Mlnneapoli" Chamber of Commerce, Jan. 27 The bulls were very hopeful when the market openod today, for there were several things In sight that made them think wheat prices would do better There was an Increase In Mlnne polls elevator stocks of only B.000 bn for one 'day, which, compaied with the gains of 5 OOu to 100,000 bu every fuiecesslve day for a month ,past, was Teiy light Indeed. The weekly re 'port also failed to "how the full increase of 800,000 bu that was estimated, the table figuring *u 770.597 bu. This is a pretty good gain, and lit brings the total un to15,432,661 bu Yet ptte trade had expected more. The bulls thought *that probably the end of the long period of 'increasing stocks wns coming into sight and they Donght Minneapolis May around 83%c, and Chi cago May at SB^c. The bulls thought otherwise, however, and they handed out wheat enough to fill the bujing oiders and leave something over, -and soon the old pressure was on again, Minne apolis May selling down to S2Tc and Chicago May to 8*i&c. The bears could not influence ]he cash, market, however, in full degree, and i*aln the prices were closer to the option, No. northern selling at l%@l%c under May and J?o. 3 3@4c under. There was a good export Jmstnass reported, especially in corn. Baltimore jend Galveston made heavy clearanoes, and totals for the day were 300,000 bu wheat and flour. 1,009.000 bn corn and 604,000 bn oats. This we* favorable, but it had little effect upon the market, which was on the dovin turn and could mot be checked. Liverpool closed lower. Australian shipments for the past week were 3,704,000 bu Minneapolis received 243 cars compared with B10 cars a year ago. while Duluth had a com parison of 88 and 64, Chicago 24 and 16, Winni peg 88 and, 102. St Louis 43,000 bu and 46.000 and Kansas City SS 000 and 29,000 i Broomhall estimates that the world's ship iments for Monday next will be about 9.600.000 Ira, of which quantity Europe will take about 8,800,000 bu. The actual shipments last week were 8.304,000 bu, and those of a year ago 9.024,000 bu. Arrival* of breadstnffs into the United Kingdom during the past week will ag gregate about 3,200,000 bu He expects that there will be a fair increase in the quantity of breadstuff's on passage. The Commercial West covers the statistical situation in the northwest as follows: ItNhas been estimated this week on the basis of a northwest crop of 185,000.000 that 37 per cent remains in the hands of farmers, exclusive of the 18,000,000 that will be required for seed. The conclusion was reached in this way Crop 185,000,000 Present distribution: Mlnneapohs-Duluth stocks 21,000,000 Shipped, Duluth 15.000,000 Country elevators, esti mated 18,000,000 Country mill consumption to date 40.000,000 Shipped south of Minne apolis 8,000,000 Old wheat sold 2,000,000 Reserved for seed 18,000,000 117,000,000 Balance farmers' hands to sell 68,000,000 Present farmers' holdings 37 per cent. We give this statement for the puipose of suggesting an errorthe consumption at Min neppolis and Duluth has been omitted. This has been 50.000.000, including shipment*. On this basis 19 per cent remains in farmers' hands above seed, or 84,000,000 bu. THE FLOUR MARKET FAIR GENERAL DEMAND, BUT HARDLY ENOUGH TO KEEP ALL MILLS GOING. Rumor had it that the mills would close down in part tonight, but the millers said there was no likelihood of an output much below that now shown, which is half of normal capacity.

Minneapolis, Bnluth and Chicago reported receipts, of 305 cars, against 454 cars last week and 281 cars a year ago. The market became weak later on profit-tak ing by a number of longs.

"Somde funny incidents happen every the of the enforcement of the Raines law, which provides that no drinks of liquor shall be sold Sundays and after certain hours on other days, unless they are served with food." said Thomas C. Lynn. I remember being one of a party one night which was whiling away a convivial hour in an old-fash ioned resort noted for its excellent Kentucky whisky. The proprietor ob served all laws to the letter, altho leav ang the spirit to take care of itself to a certain extent. "In his larder this evening there was ^just one sandwich. It was a dilapi dated affair and had been made several days before, but it did to order as food with which one could secure a drink. Each of us would take turns ordering the sandwich, which would be served with a glass of bourbon and soon af terward takenyback to the kitchen for another trip. "Finally a stranger came in and sat down at a nearby table. He asked for a glass of beer and was told that beer could only be served with a meal. When he found that he could buy a sandwich he ordered one, which was placed before him, with a stein of beer.
