Rains Put a Temporary Check
Upon Farm WorkCorn
i^ Turns Strong.
Good Cash Demand and Some Im
provement in the Flour
Market.
Government Report to Come To-
morrowGossip of the
Grain Trade.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, AprrT'O.
Rains over Sundaj. heavy enough to interfere
with wheat seeding and certain to cause some
delay in corn planting, put strength Into wheat
and gave the market a firm opening. Prices hard
ened as trading progressed for there were more
buyers than sellers and shorts who* wanted to
cover had to bid for It. The cash demand was
good and flour shipments of 58,000 brls were
posted.* The whole made a firmer situation spec
ulatively and commercially. For No. 1 northern
l\4c over May was paid. The precipitation was
general over the northwest, southwest and cen
tral states, but this morning the southwest was
clearing np, end while the skies noithwest were
cloudy, a forecabt of. fair weather tonight and
Tuesday was Issued. One thing to be figured
upon ts the government report to come tomorrow.
Many in the trade believe that however bearibn
it may be it will be found to have been dis
counted. That it will be bearish no one doubts.
Everything from the southw est right up to date
has been favorable and the government can
scarcely fail to show an unusually high condition,
especially since the report will be based upon
data of April 1, when winter wheat was In even
better shape, if anything, than at present.
St. Louis led the strength today and was up
a cent on wheat, on account of the rains.
Liverpool closed *4 higher.
Minneapolis stocks, despite the fact that re
ceipts are not very heavy, and that cash demand
is daily reported good, continue, nevertheless,
to show increases, aud for two days there is an
other gain of 50 OOO bu. Ileceipts today were
310 cars compared with only 242 a year ago,
while Duluth got 83 against 14, Chicago 2
against 27, Kansas. Citj 43,000 bu against 35,000
and St. Louis 26.000 against 69.000. Duluth I
Btocks gained 238.623 bu last week, and now
total 7,080.488, while Fort William and Port
Arthur stocks gained 358.092 bu. and now total
8,465.879 bu aguinst 7,645,677 a year ago
World's shipments were 10,832,000 bu against
8,576.000 last week. Russia' sent out 1,744,000
bu and Anient a shipped 2*368,000.
Primary receipts 432,000 bu against 447,000.
Clearances, 137,000. With reference to export
trade. Duluth wired- "Absolutely nothing doing
and bide out of line. That 160,000 bu Bart
lctt sold last week was reselling ome that they
bought some time ago. They sold it at a loss,
so they sa here."
The northwest weather this morning was as
follows. Fergus Falls, cloudy, cooler, looks like
rain. lained all day Sunday. Hillsboro, cloudy,
40 above: rained hard Sunday: looks like rain

THE FLOUR MARKET
SHOW OF IMPROVEMENT IN THE FOREIGN
DEMAND.
Better reports were-heard this morning of for
eign demand, and it was said that inquire was
coming more freelj. Domestic demand was also
a little better Prices showed no change, but
with better demand and firmer wheat there is
the likelihood of an advance soon If present con
ditions hold.

Prices Yield Slightly to "Call Loan An

Reading and Amalgamated Copper
Beaching a Point in the Bally.
New- York, April 9.The opening trade in the
stock market today was quiet and the price
changes from Saturday's level were small except
in a few specialties, and mixed betwe en gains
and losses. Anaconda was run up 1*4, but more
than lost the gain within a few minutes. North
Western gained a point and United States Rub
ber lost as much.
Very few stocks moved as much as per
cent In either direction from last week's clos
ing. Prices yielded slightly after the opening
then hardened and again receded when call
money opened above 20 per cent. Wisconsin Cen
tral perferred declined 2%.
Prices yielded but slightly and hardened again
before noon, the rally teaching a point in Read
ing and Amalgamated Copper. Extreme declines
were Tennessee Coal 1*, Great Northern pre
ferred and Wisconsin Central IV* and New York
Central and Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie a point. Bonds were irregular at noon.
Dullness was the only feature between noon and
1 o'clock.
Business increased considerably when a gen
eral selling movement began which cost a num
ber of stocks a point or more. Continued high
money rates seemed the motive of these Belling.

ALBERTA WILL LEAD
"The province of Alberta," said W.
H. McWilliams, the former Minne
apolitan, now of Winnipeg, "will come
to the front in the present season, and
in many respects, will lead the prov
inces, relativelv speaking, hereafter.
There is one element that permits or
some doubt with reference to Alberta
the rainfall. We believe the country
capable of great development, and it
has the "climate and soil suitable for
diversified farming. It is, however,
very largely given over to grazing, and
has come to be fixed in %he minds of
many as purely a cattle country. This
is wnollv wrong. Splendid crops have
been raised in Alberta, on land once
considered too far out, or too far from
running water, or too dry, or in some
way unfit for agriculture. I is some
thing like Dakota where much land now
under cultivation once was looked at
askance by land men. So it is with
Alberta. If it can be show" by proof
of several successive seasons, that there
is the rainfall in Alberta sufficient for
general and diversified agriculture, that
province will show greater progress
than anything yet seen in the Canadian
we"st."
PBATT, formerly of Minneapolis,
now editor of the Black Diamond, pre
dicts the utter failure of the coal
miners' strike.
