WHEAT-The market has shown considerable
strength, and prices have been maintained III the
face of heavy deliveries by wagon at the city mills.
At mill aiene the daily receipts by teams aver
aged 1000 bushels daily, making of the heavi-
est weeks for business in the line ever known.
Prices are now up to good fair point and this,
together with the fact that lhere is no farm work
progressing leads farmers 70 haul freely. especially
while country roads hodgood. Rail receipts hdye
been light bpt are ne " increasing though showing
mostly ordinary quality of wheat. The board OF
trade market has been firm, with small advance
in prices and closing with an easier tendency, with
buyers moro choice in their selection OF grades.
The demand is steady. so that If sellers should
make the slightest concessions from GARRETT quota
tions, all stocks would be readily taken. Specula-
ton Is quite active In the futures, yet sutci-
entity confident TO make bids daily. Prices now
little lower in bids than week ago, both spot and
futures, following Eastern markets. These are
liable to be fuct Mating, but in the unan will prob
ably maintain values, as the supply CT good wheat
