MAY WHEAT TAKES A TUMBLE
Armour Releaaea Million and a Halt
Roshela at Beat Price of
Season.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-A break of 3S cents
In the price of May wheat marked the
selling today of approximately J, 300,000
bunhela by Armour.
The crowd had sold July short Saturday
on favorable rains In the southwest and
the cold snap todny caused a covering
movement which carried the July delivery
to 83Ti cents, m cents above Saturday's
close. Sympathetically May rose 1'4 and
1'4 cents to 92H cents, which Is equal to
the best price of the season. At this price
Armour let slip about J. 500.000 bushels.
Ttie decline thus started brought out
numerous stop loss orders under which
the reaction carried May to 89 cents. At
this point profit taking by shorts and a
cessation of the Armour selling brought
about a sharp rally to R9T4 rents. July
was comparatively much steadier, the de
cline from the top reaching only 2Si cents.
Rome estimates cf the Armour sales run
as high as 7.000,000 buohels. Whatever It
was, considerable of It was bought back to
check the slump.
Closing prices were sufficiently steady to
Indicate to the majority of traders that no
matter what amount the lending long hnd
sold he had not relinquished his grip on
the nearby delivery. May closed at 91H
91H cents and July at 82H,fr82H cents'.

tion and Promoting Better Feel
ing; on the Border.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 25. Landmen from north
west Canada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
the Dakotas and Illinois gathered In a con
vention at the Merchants hotel here this
afternoon. This gathering is composed of
Individuals who either own or are Interested
In Canadian lands. The purpose of the
meeting primarily la to promote tha in
terests of those concerned by adopting
measures to stimulate emigration Into
Canada and promoting a better feeling be
tween those on each side of the border,
socially and commercially.
Heretofore there has been no organisation
and therefore no concentrated effort. By
union of effort It Is the intention to start
an active propaganda that will bring the
resources of Canada, more especially west
ern Canada, before the homeseekera of this
country and Europe. The Interest on this
movement over the border la shown by the
fact that Winnipeg has sent to the meeting
representatives of Its common council and
Board of Trade. The Canadian' Paclflo
railroad la also represented.
