Wheat was dull Mt 1c decline. Iirerpoo
kilograms werc conflicting, some quoting the
market up, others easier, though it vas gen.
orally conceded that dour was I'd better, owing
% scarcity, the mills there having been ecantl-
y supplied with water. New York reports
we're not encouraging. Tho great cause Of
weakness was the desire to place cash wheat
ID order to avoid tho e1trn storage of 1Sc which

.ho equal anxiety to get rid Of options

: gas very dull and almost lfeless, except on
