BEARS BECOMING BULLS State Reports Indicate Million Acres Less of Wheat Will Be Harvested This Fall Kuropcan Tone Is Much Stronger. CHICAGO, May 2. (Special.) Despite a reak In the last ten days of over 13 cents from the recent high point, the -wheat market last week was a strong affair and values regained about 8 cents of the lost ground. A large percentage of the local traders are now bullish on wheat and predict an Irregularly higher market. The news from the Northwest la considered the most bull ish factor for the time being, the weather being cold with snow and rain, and freez ing temperatures in many sections. North western seeding thus far has been only from 15 to 50 per cent, and very little above 25, according to most reports. A wire from Winnipeg said that not over 10 per cent had been seeded. The ground is frosen hard and a blizzard has covered parts of the Canadian wheat belt with a foot or more of snow. Patten Is Vindicated. No one In the wheat trade today haa ever seen a situation similar to that obtaining at the present time, but the trade Is being educated to see that it is a big broad supply and demand market, with greater scope than the average trader has been able to comprehend. A Tnarket that can break 12Vs cents and then advance nearly 8 cents in two weeks without a bull leader. Is one that has not been seen In recent years, and Is re garded as a complete vindication for dames A. Fatten. Bears Turn Bulls. Traders who have been very bearish en wheat now have swung around to the bull side and a canvass of the most con servative and influential trading element found a majority in favor of buying. There has been a cleaning out of the :areaker holders, ana the market Is In fcetter position to advance than it has been for some time. . Traders who have changed from the ifcear to the bull side explained their position as due to the belief that the trade from now on will be brought face to face with more bulhish conditions, such as lighter receipts In all markets and especially in the Northweet. where the country movement is said to be over and stocks are expected to show a decided shrinkage as compared with last year. A depletion In stock Is sure to tell in the long run. Still Higher Values Feared. T'nless the present anxieties con cerning the seeding of the Spring crop in the Northwest are soon re moved the wheat trade may bo witness ing higher values than It has yet en countered or seemed likely to be en countered. The close adjustment of the 1908 crop of the -world to the actual requirements for consumption can hardly stand the strain of a late har vest In 1909. The small carry-over Irom the 1907 crop made it necessary to apply the first two months move ment of the 1908 crop to the replenish ing of the reserves to normal propor tions, and this extra drain on the 1908 crop -will make It dtfflcult to grant an extension In the delivery of the crop tt 1909. Less Acreage In Wheat. The action of the wheat markets everywhere, both for spot and future delivery, showed that thero is an un derlying condition of strength. The action of the market in this country during the last week Is likely to make considerable impression abroad and possibly soon again have the effect of restricting large marketings by the leading exporting countries. On Friday next the Government will give out its estimate of losses in acre age to Winter wheat during the last -Winter. Various state reports indi cate that the forthcoming report w'll how at least 1,000.000 acres less for harvest this year than last.
