the long Interest was too much extended,
especially with general nhllc, ro keep prices

Chicago Record-Herald: Lines are Doing
very sharply drawn between bulls and bear*
In wheat. Both are probably more positive
than at any time on the crop. The bull*,
however, were greatly outnumbered, popu
lar sentiment running very strongly with
the market In favor of lower prices. Otic
of the lending owner* of wheat declared
that the market had been greatly oversold,
that Chicago prices were the lowest In the
country and that there was no point on the
map from which wheat could be shipped to
Chicago at a profit. He held to the belief
that both the Canadian and our own North
west has already marketed all the wheat
that could Im» spared nnd that tho constant
milling demand for wheat In Chicago, some
of It from ns far South as Tennessee, Indi
cated tluit there would be no flood of winter
wheat here.
George M. LeCoant has Just completed an
Investigation of tbe Cordova district of Ar
gentina. In which the wheat crop was re
ported a week or ten days ago ns badly
damaged by hall. Ills cable report to Kin-
ley-Barrell reads: “Wheat la In, splendid
condition nnd will make a full crop If It
tills well. Weather Is favorable and crop
needs only two weeks more of favorable
weather to mature.” heCtmnt hat now cov
ered Santa Fe nnd Cordova districts, which
contain more than half the wheat ncreagr
of Argentina. Ills reports from both «Is
trleta are practically the same.
Ilroomhall cabled that Hungary would
probablv Import aotna American wheat by
the way of Hamburg, owing to the fact that
Hungary has* no commercial treaty with
Argentina.
The Dickinsons have recently been un
loading n great deal of their raah wheat In
the local market. They have been aelllng
It for Decani her delivery, presumably with
a view of disposing of tho hig stock which
they drew out of other public elevators u
number of months ago,
l.ewy k Goldschmidt, of Antwerp, count
ed one of the best posted of the conttnentnl
European grain Arms, contend that the pre
diction of 0.000.000 hu. of weekly wheat
shipments froth Argentina nre u physical
Impossibility, with the exception of perhaps
a single week or two during the season.
Even this they regard as quite doubtfu..
Their Aitlmnte Is based on the known fact
that Argentine transportation facilities nre
far behind those of the United Rtntes; that
they are particularly deficient lit the matter
of Available storage nnd that they hnvo
comparatively few whipping ports, no mat
ter how great might bp the ocean tonnage
The Antwerp firm calls attention to tm
difficulty experienced In maintaining a 5,

United Rtntes nnd Canada, although t

of a great deal of wheat In the shape of

fact that Argentina this year hat a very
largo linseed, corn ami oats crop In addition
to Its wheal.

the American laborer has filled his nail with
whatever suited Ids appetite. Ir he do
cldcs to economise he can fall back on
wheat bread. Much of the Manitoba crop
this year Is so tutor that the banks will not
advance snvUdiig on It. Manitoba wheat I*
not liable to be much of a competitor for
export during the present crop year."
