Wheat Strengthened on ItThe
Valley Needs Dry Weather

Prospective Settlement of the
Lake Strike Has Oppo-

Visible Supply Makes a Liberal
DecreaseNews of the
Trade.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, May 7.
Chicago May wheat advanced again in today's
early market and held up all options. Traders
were afraid to follow, feailng a quick setback.
It is probable thut there Is an outstanding short
interest in Ma} large enough to make ttfe shoits
nervous, yet it is really hard to estimate as to
importance. What the traders fear Is that some
day, when the last of it is covered. May will
fall back quickly. This might not unsettle the
general market. Still it is an uncertainty.
Something of the possibility of the situation was
shown today in arise to 81%c for Chicago May
and a reaction to ^9\c by 11 o'clock. Th
buying or selling of only 50,000 bu might
make that much of a difference, so narrow is
the May option. Chicago July was affected
enough to make the figures Tg%@79-\c give way
to 78%c. Minneapolis was steadier, the range
In Hay being 77%o to 77o, and in July 78%c to
38%c
The weather is turning better. Low tempera
tures are giving way and for tonight a general
rise is predicted. Omaha had rain this morning.
The local decrease for two days Is about 223,-
O0O bu, wheat coming out of elevators every day.
I Receipts here were 214 cars against 152. and
fairly good cash demand was reported at 1@
l%c over July for No. 1 northern. Comparisons
elsewhere were 22 cars and 1 for Duluth, 8 and
St for Chicago. 208 and 66 for Winnipeg, 64,000
and 11,000 bu for St. Louis and 35,000 and
15,000 for Kansas City.
The regular Monday statistics were not espe
cially significant. World's shipments were about
a standoff all around, the total of 10,672,000
.comparing with 10,040,000 a week ago and 10,-
944,000 a year ago. The quantity afloat for
Europe Increased by 248,000 bu, making the
[total 61848,000. Stocks at Port William and
frltn-t Arthur fell off sharply last week, 1,287,981
bu being loaded out for eastern lake shipment.
This leaves 4,458,844 bu in store there, against
6,078,880 a year ago at this date.
Primary receipts 894,000 bu, compared with
198,000 a year ago. Wheat and flour clearances
.835*000 bo.
The weather at noon was an influence for
strength. Snow was falling at Moyvllle and
Comstock and Fargo and Grand Forks had winter
temperatures. There were snow flurries all morn
ing at Grand Forks, and it was cold at Fergus
Falls. This is not the kind of weather needed
in the valley. It is already too wet and back
ward.
Broomhali cabled: "Liverpool wheat quiet,
unchanged at opening. Undertone was steady
owing to a further decrease in local stocks. This,
Jtogether with the strength in America Satur-
*-day, caused some staoits to cover and prices
'grained 1 ^d. Some realizing occurred on less ac
tive demand for cargoes. Corn quiet and un

tone firm. The Argentine estimate is being grad
ually discounted. The Argentine crop of corn is
Officially estimated at 180,000,000 bu against
131,200.000 last year. The present condition of
grain is fine
The strengthening effect of the bad weather
was offset by the later rumor of a settlement of
the lake strike. I is thought some announce
ment of resumption of work by the disaffected
men will come later. Should the strike cease
it would be bearish In wheat, as Duluth would
again be in position to send cargoes to Chicago
for May delivery.
F. Ewe of the Van Dusen-HarHngton com
panv back from the southwest, says Indications
axe that elevator companies will be receiving new
red wheat in Oklahoma by Jnne 20. The general
crop outlook is favorable, bearing out In the

attending it this year, but everything now to

New Yoik, May 7.A majority of the impor
tant stocks were under pressure at the opening
uf business in the stock market today, especially
St. Paul, Union Pacific, Reading, Great North
ern preteried, New York Central and Amal
gamated Copper, whose losses ranged from 1 to
1%. On the other hand there were quite a few
specialties and active railroads that opened at
good Improvements. Lead and Coloiado Fuel im
proved 1, American Ice 1% and Pacific Coast 2%.
'the hesitation and depression at the start was
not prolonged, with prices rising strongly when
large bujing orders came in tor Reading and
the grain carriers. Reading rallied from 124%
to 128%, but weakened afterwards under a tre
mendous realizing, and fell back 1%.
Full recoveries were made in the general mar
ket and a number of leaders eventually sold as
much above Saturdaj 's closing as they had
opened below. A featute of the market was the
strength of many of the metal specialties.
Reading advanced again easily to 3 over
Saturday, but the general list did not rise as
high as in the first hour. There were some
gains in industrial stocks. Bonds were irregular
at noon.
Stocks yielded easily after midday, in sympa
thy with a 3-polut reaction in Reading. The
Hill strcks betrayed notable weakness and there
was a general -cturn to the low prices prevailing
at the opening or below. Northern Pacific
dropped 3V4, Anaconda 4% and Great Northern
preferred 5%.
Receipts flour, 21 194 brls wheat, 157,000 ha
oorn, 138,375.
Spasmodic rallies were very poorly maintained,
the market n&eting considerable offerings as
prices improved and the market was allowed to
sag back to the lowest.
Business na but little more than nominal
during the greater part of the hour. Interna
tional Pump excaptionally moved upward 5
points. United States Steel sold at 38%c, a
loss of a point, and Erie first preferred declined
a point.

The market today is strong and there seems
to be little stock offered. Calumet Pittsburg
and Lake Superior & Pittsburg are the leaders
Whether this advance Is caused by news from
the properties or by manipulation, it is hard to
say. but at present the market looks as if It
might go higher. The production of the three
producers for the month of April was 1,792 tons.
While this Is a hard market to predict its

able that prices somewhere near the present

disappointed in that the 2,500,000 bushels of
hard winter wheat here has not proved a foot
ball to be kicked around at will. Those who
have the property evidently have an expanding
view of the value of it each daydespite weak
ness in new crop monthsand there are many
others who have bought the grain for delivery
this month who have not yet received it.

by them being Union Pacific, of which arbitrage
