in tenacity to make fluctuations or permanency
of high or low prices. The tendency ha:
been downward, and declines have ensued during
the week. but holders have been strong, even wher
obliged by the inevitable to submit to lower prices
Their feeling seemed to be that as soon as reliable
statistics can be had. there will be revealed cror
shortage that will hereafter affect values In The
wheat movement, and things are ouly drifting. On
