Reports from the Winter Wheat
Fields ConflictingSnow
Due for Tonight.
Local Cash Demand Good and
Receipts Not Very
Heavy/
Minneapolis Chamber or Commerce, Feb. 6.
llie Kansas City weather man put a weight on
Wheat futures this morning bj predicting snow
for tonight. What the southwest. needs to
Uay fear of damage to winter wheat is higher
temperatures and snow or rain. That there has
fully been need for further precipitation lb
proved by the weather report of yesterday,
emanating from Lincoln and stating that Ne
braska has had the smallest total moisture dis
ttlbution this season of any for twenty-three
years. This was before the recent snow. To
day Nebraska is in better condition. All the
Important winter wheat territory got more or
less snow in the recent fall, but it was light
and not general in Kansas, and Oklahoma got
Uttle. Now if the prediction of the Kansas
City office comes out and snow falls tonight,
the winter wheat ought to be all right, for the
present at least. The Minneapolis foiecast is
tor fair and warmer weathei tonight and to
morrow and slowly rising temperatures. The
market felt the effect of this better crop out
look and Minneapolis May sold off early to 83c,
Chicago May going to 84%@84%c. L-ater the
market rallied quickly to 83^c and 85%@S5i4c.
The bulls weie a little disappointed in the
showing for local stocks. After a period of
several months of continued increases, the week
started with a decrease of 140,000 bu for the
first two days. This was taken by some to
mean the beginning of steady decline. But
this morr-ing the decrease for three days was
posted at 145.000 bu, or practically no change.
Stocks may therefore be said to be about hold
ing their own. Shipments of about 60,000 bar
rels of flour, reported yesterday, made it look
if the mills were making flour enough to
consume wheat at a rate to effect a steady
decrease, but today the figures were 39,323
barrels. Minneapolis received 14S cars against
199, Chicago 26 against 29 and Duluth 54 against
83. Comparisons elsewhere were 142 cars and
85 at Winnipeg, 120,000 bu and 32,000 at Kan
sas City and 58,000 and 23,000 at St. Louis.
Reports came in about 11 o'clock that put
the.market up quickly. Great Bend, Hutchinson
and Russell showed cold weather and bare
fields. Omaha said there was no snow on the
fields, St. Joseph leported the same and Kansas
points began sending in messages alternately
good and had. but indicating damage in some
cases. Springfield, 111., on the other hand, had
one inch of snow to boast of, and St. Louis had
tour to five inches over a considerable extent
of snrrounding country.
Liverpool closed lower.
Broomhall cabled that there is some anxiety
In Russia over the very mild weather in the
winter wheat districts, and that arrivals at
Odessa are smaller France and Germany ap
pear to be in good condition, Hungary *as had
a snowfall and in Rumania the conditions gen
erally are favorable. Portugal has a larger
wheat acreage and good weather, but Spain re
ports heavy fiosts. Broomhall says the situation
In India is still uncertain, but he finds no change
of importance in Argentine.
Ccsh demand was good and under May
for No. 1 northern was the trading basis. No. 2
going at 2*c under. Wheat to arrive sold at
the samp figures.
Bradstreet's showed, an Increase of 732,000 bu
in the world's visible supply, which was not a
heavy ineiease for the date. The quantity east
of the Rockies decreased 768,000 bu, but wheat
in Europe and afloat Increased 1,231,000 bu.
Of the speculative situation In Chicago Aldrich
wired Stephens as follows
THE FLOUR MARKET

The mills are now ODeiating at about two
thirds of total capacitv, and are doing a satis

is an excellent demand for feed and tbe mills

"Action of the mor
ket indicates that the local crowd, who are
doing most of the trading, are working almost
entirely on the wheat they themselves sell. In
the decline of ."c from 89c to 84c the liquida
tion eauie almost entirely from western bulls
whose lines were small compared with the Wall
street holdings. The latter, it was noticed, did
not do any of the selling, in fact were constant
buyers on a scale down, and this has left the
market in its present state, with the possibili
ties of io damage or a change in foreign
sentiment fiom the bear to the bull side It is
easy to see how it would be possible for the
bear to have hard sledding for the next month

dam was signalized Wednesday by sim
ple ceremonies. Controller Metz went
up to Croton and placed the last stone
on the coping of shaft No 2. used
a silver trowel presented by the con
tractors, Coleman, Breucharid & Cole
man. The others present, to the num
ber of a score or more, used common
trowels, which had been used by the
masons in laying the stonework. A
feast and speechmaking closed the cer
emonies.
The new Croton dam has taTcen about
thirteen years to build, and has cost
nearly $8,000,000. I should have been
completed half a dozen years ago, but
an error in the calculations for the
foundation necessitated the reconstruc
tion of the core wall and a consequent
large waste of time and money. The

300,000,000,000 gallons of water.
Controller Metz broght home a Bos
ton bull terrier of doubtful lineage,
which was presented to him by Con
tractor James S. Coleman. When last
seen he was negotiating with an ex
pressman to take the dog to his home.
The animal has been named "Dam

an old barn door! It's her mother
she gets her looks from!" "S*p&
