Wheat waa active n11l firm at an average do
eiinoo OF 74c. por bn. Tho market was chiefly
local, tho ndvicca @ from other pointa being unim-
werc tho hcnvicst that have been known in this
city OIL my ono day for many nontha past, and
this caused a great deal Of wheat to be thrown OIL
tho market, which fact weakened prices till tho
offerings ns PEEL haa % been absorbed: Large Quantities
for February, and about all Of this WAS sent
round this morning. There waa, however, little
trouble In placing it, and tho nnriot was really
strong one, VA ~ good aeal Of capital stood
was strong enough to tako hold Of tho options
against which tho February wheat WAS bought.
There was very little dcnand for car lots, and
none Of it soemed to bo for shipment.
