Bile in the price of wheat during the
pp st week. Our dealers here are only
paying 81 cents per bushel for No. l
(longberry) wheat, while No. 2 is only
worth 50 cents. This is fall of from
five to seven cents since last week. The
unsatisfactory condition Of the export
trade and the near approach of the new
Western crop are given as reasons for
the fall in prices. The corn market is
comparatively steady.
