New WHEAT ON 'CHANGE. Sixty bushels
OF very good new wheat were sold on
'Change Saturday at .S1.S0 and forty bushels
at Sl.75, while very good old only brought
SLIGO. The market has been irregular from
the start, but there has not been enough
offered to establish quotations. Some OF
the mills will not buy until the offerings are
large enough to make itworth their while
10 60 to work, and some OF them said
Saturday that il the offerings were any
way liberal they would buy now. No one
at this moment can say what the regular
opening price will be. We mean by :" regu-
lar'' the price which will be paid when all
the mills commence to work regularly.
The fine and abundant crop would indicate
low prices, but the short supply OF old
stock on hand and the war in Europe woald
indicate high prices. A figure neither as
low as so nor as high os 81 win be the
regular opening price. The market, how
ever, may be subject to many fluctuations.
