Wheat was more active, and about 1c higher
than on FRIDAY, though Liverpool WAS only re-
ported steady. and New York WAS quoted tame,
IN increase in volume, now that Iowa has got
rid Of the ep1zootic disease. The demand was
principally speculative for options) and local,
though several outside orders we're On the floor
SECTIONS. The millers Of those parts are paying
more attention to spring wheat than ever before,
owing to the great difference in the price Of that
and winter. Of course, it is only necessary to
start the rumor Of q consumptiVe demand, with

as yesterday, with almost no demand during q
considerable part Of the session, as the atten-
ton OF operators was largely attracted to wheat.
New York Was reported tame, and our shipments
were almost nothing, while receipts we're up to
the average. There Was no inquiry for ship
ment, and but few shorts we're on the market,
