A fairly active business has been transacted
during the week. As to fluctuations in prices

uiar excitement.

~eek had depressing influence while it lasted

foreign export demand is for the best and
hardest spring grades, which are scarce and
firm. while soft wheat is represented to be in
excessive supply. The New York Bulletins
