ally lower, the prime cause in grain being the

the last break in wheat, when it fell of from

sold at 4414c. Oats continue very dull and
quiet, with fluctuations of sc in seller Nav.

the morning session, the pit at times being
entirely deserted; more activity and also
more weakness was observed toward the
close than at any other time: an advance Of
