Chlo.igo, March -8.-Bartlett, Frailer & Carrington: The average trader, even If he believes In ultimately lower prices, fs ern the market for the present. Corn was Inclined to draw early lu the session Wednesday, Influenced by the wid ening discounts for the lower grades.

The buying around Inside juices quite generally believed to be for larger packers, and market shows tendency to rally on this demand. The Chicago Evening Post: Gnrdner-Und- dleford's traveling cron expert wired from Carsons, Kntis.: "Coffeyvllle to here sev eral spotted fields. Drove all around Oswe go; found a few bugs In every field, lint no damage. Everything looks fine. Outs up, hut noedlng rain." Rroombnll’s report dltlons ns follows: Tho outlook for the crop continues high- *y favorable. France—The outlook for llie cron Is excellent, the weather being favorable; supplies arc Increasing. Ger many—Weather conditions are unfavorable for the crop, aud the great part of tho area under which wheat wns abandoned ns a result of winter killing Is being re planted by other grain. Huugnry—The un satisfactory condition as reported Inst week Is again mentioned, with complaints increasing; some of the area tinder wheat has been abandoned. Roumunln—There are occasional complaints heard us n result of winter killing. Bulgaria—Italy—North Afri ca—The crop outlook continues favorable.

Julius Bnrnes, partner In the Ames Brookes Company, of Duluth, largest ex porters of wheat In (he Northwest, was on ’change today. He has Just returned from a trip East, and ssbl that the proj- pectlve foreign demand for wheat for the next five or six months at least ta excel lent. "Wheat arriving so freely nt Du luth nt present," said Mr. Bnrnes, "la very largely already sold for shipment East, nnd the durum part of It for ex port. The latter comprises about two thirds of the dally receipts," Clement, Curtis Sc Co. received the fol lowing from Kausas City: "Have report that green hugs near Winfield are dead owing to lint weather, sud wheat la extra ordinary fine; also that they are spread- tug at Arkansas City nnd have been found In Ha Hue couuty. Htill believe they will do no damage In Kansas. Manager of Home. Groin Company wired from KnIU. Okln.: ’Green hugs have l»eeu here for two weeks, but have done no apparent in line condition aud wheat growing rapidly, ten days to two weeks earlier than us ual: no complaints of Injury.’ " W. H. Crosby said: "Kansas n* a raiser of a crop of wheat this year Is right be tween the devil and the deep sea at the moment. If they don’t get rain nnd cool er weather there within the next few days, the heat and drought will get the wheat crop. Jt they get rain nnd Iho cooler weather the green bugs will ent tin tho wheat. *o it Is hard to see how Kansas Is going to squeeze through." WESTERN JOBBERS SHORT ON STAPLE COTTONS. The New York Commercial: Evidence has come to light within the post few days nnd was accentuated that buyera rep resenting Western Jobliers are short on bleached goods and general lines of domes tic* to an extent that has not been fully realized In the first-hand mnrket. Proml- neut representatives of Western jobbing houses have been making unsuccessful In quiry for bleached go**!*, half bleached and staple brown cottons for delivery dur ing the com lug three months and even Into the late fall. They have shown no hesitancy In paying the prices practically equal to the spot values now named ou giMHls. In this connection It can l*o men tloned that Eastern Jobber# have been more fuccessful lu covering their forward requirements then the Western contingent, due solelv to their linvlug been more con fident In*the steady advance of price. In a general way. the cotton goods market was •inlet so far as purchasing from converters or export brokers was concerned. A few cutlers-up plrced older# c-n colored goods suitable for wot king shirts and overalls. The shortage of white goods for th-» I ml once of the spring nnd summer season Is so pronounced that tb-* Importers am! do mestic handlers are able to secure round advances over their already high price# on any goods they have to dispose of. The much talked of combination of Ingrain cirpet manufacturer# In Philadelphia to sell through W. a J. Hlosne, It Is now re ported. will not be affected. For various tea tons, the proposition appeared to be of ton general n character to permit of reconciling all difference# unmug manufac turers.
