All Favorabl e
Crop Reports
Stocks Still Increasing
a Little.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. March 31.
On this, the last day of March, the speculative
ttuation lu wheat permits of closer analysis
than heretofore. It is clear that Ihe predomi
nant feature lies in Chicago. There is no longer
any doubt about the Chicago holdings. There is
at least 6.000.000 bu May wheat held there by
"peculators or the most part It^is owned by
eastern men, and the greater part of it is wheat
that was bought higher up, and losses of several
cents a bushel appear in it. Of course, there
la *s much wheat short as there is long. The
Chicago bulls started the talk of a squeeze, that
is now heard so generally, and were able to
show how. ith contract stocks In Chicago very
i light, these holders had only to stand pat. and
the shorts would have to buy in make good
I on their deliveries and pi Ices would rise. To
one who looks around the country and sees the
I big .stocks and the large proportion of contract
wheat in other- markets, such an argument seems
absurd. Still, there is no denying that the
men who hold the wheat have money and they
might make the shorts very nervous for a time.
Also they could take over their wheat and mer
chandise it. This would be a long time and ex
pensive proposition. It Is hard to see what great
thing would be accomplished by It. Prices might
lie manipulated for the next fortnight suffi
ciently to allow the Chicago bulls to get from
under their load, but, for any serious effort
to work about a squeeze or corner In Chicago
there appears nothing but disaster. The price
situation hinges on the disposition of these Chi
cago long lines of May. and -with stocKs still i n
Creasing, primary receipts showing no falling
off, winter wheat holding its stand and spring
opening In the northwest with high promise, new
crops looming up in the distance and other
countries still giving us a good competitive run
for foreign business, one wonders why Chicago
men should be so anxious to pay cash or and
put into store 6,000.000 bu wheat at several
cents above prices nt which it could now be
tought in the open market. It must be remem
bered that the strongest bull influence may be
come a bear influence in its back action or when
overplayed. If these men a re going to take over
and pay for 6,000,000 bu wheat it is a great bull
featun, but, if they are not going to take it
ever., they will have to dispose of it in some
manner before delivery day. Hence the possi
bility of the selling out of 6.000,000 bu long
wheat between now and May 1, and the probable
effect of such liquidation upon the market,
are considerations no speculator can afford to
overlook. A change for the worse in the new
crop outlook would materially alter the whole i
i\, situation, l-ut no such change appears, all the
news running fnvotable.

looks like moisture for the northwest in the next

THIS FLOUR MARKET
BETTER BUSINESS LATE YESTEEDAY, BUT
'a LITTLE TODAY.
Considerable business came in late yesterday,
i{ but the report todiy was not so favorable. The
weaker turn in wheat probably had some effect.
Millers look for a more definite turn to the mar
ket next week ana priceB at the cloBe today were
left unchanged. Flour will likely follow any im
portant price changes in wheat on Monday.
