excited traders at the opening this morning

or SC higher than at the close yesterday. The
cables quoted wheat "a turn dearer" at Liver
pool, and the receipts at primary points were re-
ported light 1t was also stated the Minneapolis
Millers' Association had advanced their price 3
cents, but notwithstanding these "bulr points,
the offerings became heavy and the market
dropped off rapidly to 94lc. There was
slight reaction, but toward the close of the session
it was estimated that the next posting Of the Wis
lble supply would show an increase of l. .250, 900
bushels, which produced weak feeling, and,
under the pressure of more free selling, May
broke off to $3.50, and closed for the day at 9344
093sc or BIC higher than last Saturday. The
trading was only moderate scale after the
first hour, outside orders being of a limited
