AS consequence, there is practically no Market
and quotations therefore largely represent the views
OF sellers. Yet there never was time probably in
year when the outlook was so favorable fer hold
ers of Wheat. We have tonnage in port sli lent to
carry away nearly 100000 els .nd there is little

ty to fill outward cargoes just as fast az vessels are
ready to load. For week past the talk on Change
