Wheat was moderately active, and agnin weak,
at III nyerage decline Of 11Gc. Tho receipts
giving, no immediate prospect Of al iucroaso III

Some Of them placcu largo quantities on the
market, especially in the oarlY part Of tho ses-
sion and, although most Of these offerings
wcro abaorbod by tho short Interest," tho result
waa q downward movement in priceB. Thore
was little demand, except from the shorts. Few
cared to buy long, and tho shippers held aloof.
It was stated alBo, that there LAS beon no such
extensive freozing of tho wintor wheat as
WAS rumorcd two Or throo days ago, but that tho
wintor-wheat promises Ut excellent crop thus

from; though it is reasonable to suppose that
the light fall Of snow, and q temperature vary
