average rs on Friday. and more active in casE

which caused slight advance 10 prices. The
receipts were fair, but chiefly Of new wheat, the
old being in very small proportion, while ou1
stocks Of old are small. The shipping demand
WAS principally for old. and all offerings wore
for new which itself commanded premi-
um over seller the mouth. The specu-
lative department was unusually quiet
a couple Of prominent operators
sold severa! lots early. and this made buyers
hold back till near the close, when New York WAS
quoted tirmor. The general feeling WAS weak,
