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, 000. 00Mhi. total of shipments from the United Rtntes nnd Canada, although t include tho Fa cite porta nnd the clean..... of a great deal of wheat In the shape of flour. The firm also calls attention to the fact that Argentina this year hat a very largo linseed, corn ami oats crop In addition to Its wheal. "America is today on n domestic basis In wheat nml Is not yet aware of It," said 1. 4\ Gifford. "Wheat at Chicago and Liver pool will probably be nt the samo price be fore May. The present Unsocial stringency means n greater consumption of floor, s* It Is the cheapest avallnblo food. Heretofore the American laborer has filled his nail with whatever suited Ids appetite.
