The wheat trade of Chicago has been
told for several days past that Duluth
w'as a heavy buyer of July wheat In the
Minneapolis markets. According to a
statement made by A. D. Thomson yes
terday, this buying was In the way of
undoing a spread between the two points.
And Mr. Thomson was the principal In
this business. In referring to tho supply
of spring wheat available In the north
west, this gentleman said that In his
opinion the stocks there were hardly
large enough to meet the requirements
until a new crop Is available.
May wheat showed a little wider range
at Chicago yesterday, and shorts wcro
supplied with that month without any
great effort on their part. The undercur
rent for that particular future was uulte
strong. Tho more deferred months were
fractionally better, wholly In sympathy
with tho strength In the May option.
There were largo purchases of wheat to
come here In July, to arrive not later
than July 20, and tho price was 4c over
the July future. This wheat la to come
from Illinois and Missouri, St. Louis re
ported enormous offerings there of new
wheat for June and July shipment.
Corn held up well In price yesterday,
when the string of bearish news that
was poured Into tho market la considered.
The strength In the May future overbal
anced nil else and that month closed at
fractional advances, while the moro de
ferred months were unchanged to a lit
tle higher. The selling came from com
mission houses, while shorts wero the
leading buyers.
Oats continued to show an Improved
tone and closed higher for all the months.
With lighter receipts and better prices
for hogs the provision market was
stronger yesterday. Tho general interest
was small and the cash trade still of an
unsatisfactory volume.
Cash wheat was He higher.
Cash corn was unchanged to He higher.
Cash oats were unchanged.
Clearances wore 1.000 bushels of corn,
55,000 bushels of oats -and wheat and flour
equal to 35S.O00 bushels.
Liverpool closed IVSttd higher on wheat
and WaliA lower on corn.
Primary wheat receipts were 624,000
bushels and shipments were 1,019,000 bush
els, against receipts last year of 670,000
bushels and shipments of 630,000 bushels.
Primary corn receipts wero 3U6.000 bush
els and shipments were 482,000. bushels,
against receipts last year of 444,000 bush
els and shipments of 330,000 Bushels.
Primary oats receipts were 461,000 bush
els and shipments, were 839.000 bushels,
against receipts last year of 491,000 bush

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trndlnjr mid Closing
Prices on Honrd of Trade.
CHICAGO, May 7. Well grounded no
tlons that the government crop report
might turn out more bearish than had
recently been looked for, hindered today
any decided odvanco In wheat. ThiS
Washington figures, however. Indicating
r harvest of 20,000,000 busheLs more than
trade estimates came too late to have
a direct effect on the market. A few
minutes before hand, prices had closed
easy, .He off to a like advance compared
with last night. Com showed a net de
cline of Ho to HS4ic. Oats were c
down to He up, and provisions at 5c to
25c loss.
Wheat had a firm tone the greater
part of the day. Europeans were buy.
Ing futures here, and word came from
New York, Duluth and St. Louis that
export demand was In evidence. In ad
dition, .misgivings were general that the
spring wheat acreage of .both the Amer
ican and Canadian northwest would b
seriously reduced by tho prevailing cold
wet weather. Forty per cent of the seed
ing In Manitoba still remains to be done.
Although corn at first showed some
firmness on account of early reports of
unsettled conditions in Argentine, the
market afterward weakened. Later ad
vices from Argentina told of fine weather.
Besides cash demand here was slow, and
there were freer offerings from the coun
try. Oats followed corn. Elevator con
cerns bought May and sold July; specui
latcrs did the reverse.
Sellers by packers more than overcome
an early advance In previsions. It was
eatd that as soon as farmers had com
pleted their field work hog receipts here
would be greatly enlarged.

CHICAGO, May 7. Adverse weather
conditions- northwest threatening to de
lay ktlll further the progress of seeding
carried the wheat marKet today up
grade. The fact that n largo consign
ment of wheat unloading here from Du
luth was turning out to be of a quality
not deliverable on Chicago contracts
formed an additional help to .tho bulls.
Prices opened a shade to UtPHc higher,
and continued to advance.
European buying of futures here and
a good export demand at New York for
nearby shipments had a strengthening
effect, but fear bf a bearish crop report
frorn Washington hindered an advance.
The close waa easy, a- shade off to a Hko
advance compared with last night.
Slackness of cash demand weakened
corn. Later some reaction took place
Subsequently the market sagged again,
as late reports said the weather In Ar
gentina had cleared. The close was weak
at Sa to H&fc net lower.
Oats held steady. Offerings were only
moderate.
With the exception of May pork. In
which trading was light, provisions ru'rd
firm. Tho chief influence was a rise In
the price of hogs.
