The Bulls Jtast Get a Start When
the Bear News Begins to
v. 'Oom
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, March 13.
r-The bulls found something less of an in
crease in local elevator stocks this morning
than had been expected, or 300,000 bushels for
three days, and receipts here of only 186 cars,
against 268 a year ago. They found Liver
pool up %d, Berlin %e up and Antwerp %@%e
higher. There was also an Increase in Brad
street's figures for the world's visible, of only
306,000 bushels, and several other statistical
Items had a less bearish color. Buying began
at once. In Chicago, Barren continues taking
the wheat, but Logan and Ware came in and
sold. Locally Barnum, Lewis and Watson were
buyers, and Woodworth the best seller. May
wen* to 76%c here, and to 78%@78%c in
Chicago, but, after the buyers had taken all
they had orders for, there was still a little to
sell, and T6@T8%c and 7T%c were the fig
ures later. The Bradstreet's report made the
Increase 200,000 bushels In Europe or afloat,
and found only 96,000 bushels Increase east of
the Bockies. This was a small Increase in
view of the reoent accumulation at leading
points. It helped strengthen the pit. The
bears came in with Winnipeg and Toronto re
ports snowing Manitoba wheat bids from abroad
about 2%c too low for business, and nothing
doing In American wheat at Baltimore or either
ports. The Kansas reports of a heavy snow
fall and full protection to the winter wheat
were also confirmed in full, and the weather
Indications promised a general fall of rain or
snow in the next thirty-six hours. The win
ter wheat is undoubtedly protected by snow
and has plenty of moisture. Everybody knows
and, as a bear influence, the winter wheat
promise has about spent its force for the pres
ent. When the crop begins to grow a little
mor* will be known about it. Duluth got T8
ears, against 46, Chioago 6 against 88, Winni
peg 199 cars compared with T6. St. Louis had
86,000 bushels, compared with 45,000.
Primary receipts, 801,000 bushels, against
460,000. Clearances, 86,000 bushels i 'wheat
and 91,000 barrels of flour, equal to 146,000
bushels.
Cash demand was good at May price for Ne.
1 northern and 2o under for No. 2. Wheat to
arrive sold at the same prices.
The department of agriculture reports the
percentages of wheat in farmers' hands, re
spectively, at 28 per cent in Minnesota, 26
per cent in South Dakota and 20 per cent in
North Dakota. Thts would equal about 46,-
000,000 bushels. Of this quantity, the Trade
Bulletin figures, about 4,000,000 bushels have
been shipped since March 1, leaving 42,000,000
bushels. Of this amount, 22,000,000 bushels
will be required for seedleaving 20,000,000
bushels for interior millers, receipts at Minne
apolis, and Duluth stocks July 1. Last year
the quantify was reported at 186.000.000 bush
els, out of which 46,000,000 bushels was dis
tributed and held over, besides what the in
terior miller* purchased.
The government snow map shows only a trace
on the ground in southern, central and western
Kansas, two to three In inches in northeast and
three to six Inches in Nebraska. There is a
trace to six inches thru the Ohio valley and a
trace to three inches in th enorthwest
The London Statist says: "Fear of renewed
political disorders in the spring will lead to
a serious decrease in the area sown to spring
wheat in Russia. Under winter wheat it is
known that there is some decrease in the area,
but so far the conditions have been excellent
for these crops."
The following is the Broomhall foreign crop
Mtnmit'ry: United KingdomThe wheat plant is
looking rather sickly. FranceThe weather is
more favorable and no complaints are heard
regarding the condition of the crops. Supplies
of good wheats are verj scarce and dear, while
other gaades are offered freely and prices are
somewhat easier.
GermanyThe weather is very changeable,
bnt no complaints are beard regarding the crops.
Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, ItalyCrop con
ditions are favorable.
RussiaCrop conditions are most favorable,
but there is further mention of small acre
age. Arrivals at the ports are increasing slow
ly. Business very dull.
Spain and North AfricaConditions are mod
erately favorable.
IndiaThe growing crop of wheat in the
United Provinces is doing well. The area un
der, wheat In central provinces is officially
stated at 3,543,000 acres, against 3,496,000 acres
a year ago. The outturn is estimated at 90 per
cent of normal.
THE FLOUR MARKET
NO RESPONSE TO CHANGING WHEAT
PRICESSHIPMENTS LIGHT.
Millers say they find but feeble response to
changing wheat prices and Influences that ordi
narily work for stimulus to the market appear
to have lost their effect at present. When the
market advances the belated business that ordi
narily follows an advance Is missing, and when
prices sink to points where waiting business
would ordinarily be expected to uncover the
showing is disappointing. Prices today are un
changed. The mills are still grinding at half
capacity, but some may close later in the week.

CHICAGO GRAIN
DECLINE ON OPENING OF WHEAT PIT
THEN REGAINING OF PRICE.
Chicago, March 13.The local wheat market
today opened with a slight decline on free sell
ing by pit-traders, who were actuated by re
ports of snow in tbe southwest and milder
weather In .other sections of the wheat belt.
The loss, however, was soon regained on buying
by commission houses. Trading was very quiet
and the maiket dull. May opened *4c to
%c lower at 77%c to 78@78%c and advanced
to 78%@78#c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts of 265 cars against 349 cars
last week and 347 cars a year ago.
Toward the middle of the session a slump oc
curred on selling by pit traders, who were influ
enced by lower prices at Liverpool. The market
was weak for the remainder of the session, the
low point for May being 76%c. The close was
weak, with May down l% at 76%@77c.

DECISION
SUPREMEt COURT '8
CAUSES A LONG SLUMP.
General Market Shows Tendency to Sag
in the Early Trading, hut Hardens
LaterSt. Paul and Atchison Most
Favored of the- Standard Stocks.
-r^r
NewCTYoflc, March lS.The small opening
dealings Indicated a languid interest in stocks
at the opening of the market today. There
was a sprinkling of gains, but most prices ygere
lower. Weakness of the Chicago Union Trac
tion stocks on tbe supreme court's decision
against the company was a feature. The com
mon fell 1%, and the preferred 6 points.
Reading and Consolidated Gas went down a
point, and Colorado Fuel There was a rise
of 1% in Great Northern preferred, and of a
point in Ne York, Chicago & St. Louis.
Violent fluctuations in several specialties
failed to create more than a languid interest
in the general railroad list, which was de
cidedly sluggish. After some heaviness had
been shown in sympathy with tbe liquidation
in Chicago Union Traction, the market rai
led on the rise In the metal stocks. Sub-'
sequently the course of the railroad stocks and
specialties became more defined, the specialties
selling off, while the railroads began to mani
fest firmness. Among the losses established
were Amalgamated Copper and Central Leather,
a point Chicago Union Traction, 4%, and the
preferred 11, The gains included Tennessee
Coal, 1% Lead, 1% Smelting, 2% and New
York, Chicago & St. Louis, 3.
Smelting and Lead lost most of their gains.
The market became idle at intervals and was
very sluggish. Buying of Reading to a point
above last night caused some recovery in sym
pathy. Brooklyn Transit gained 1%. Ana
conda fell 6%, Consolidated Gas 2, and North
ern Pacific, the North-Western stocks and Col
orado & Southern a point or more. Bonds
were heavy.
Inquiries for special stocks were not suffi
ciently urgent to alter prices much, but there
was neverthless a gradually hardening which
was most noticeable in the Southern railroad
group. Of the standard stocks, St. Paul and
Atchison were the most favored. Chicago Union
Traction preferred made further progress down
ward, losing 14 points in all, but the common
was steady. St. Paul moved up 1, and Louis
ville & Nashville 1%. Metropolitan Street
Railway fell off 1%, and Delaware & Hud
son 3.
Stocks which have little or no influence on
the course of prices occupied most of the trad
ers' attention until the gradual absorption of
Union Pacific caused an effect on the general
tone. The market became more active and
higher. Union Pacific, New York Central,
Northern Pacific, Lake Erie & Western, Kan
sas & Texas and LinBeed preferred gained 1
to 1% Wabash preferred, Reading and Ameri
can Car, 1% Cotton Oil, 2 Virginia-Carolina
