Late mail advices from Sydney, Australia, say:
" The shortage in the Wheat crop of Australia
has induced a considerable amount of activity
in this market, some large orders having been
executed in the past few weeks. No concerted
action is reported at present, but we look for a
substantial rise a little later. Prices for
Flour. however, would not at the moment war
rant shipments from your side but we think it
quite possible from present indications that we
may see n smart rise ere long, in which event
your millers will doubtless turn their attention
TO this market as possible outlet"
WHEAT-BuSinesS opened this morning in
good shape. There was general inquiry for ship
ping purposes, and sellers readily responded.
The fact that buyers were somewhat more lib
eral in their bids made trading comparatively
easy: Stock that csuld legitimately be classed
as No. standard found prompt custom at
81 27%, while choice grades were taken with vet
quicker freedom at 81 80 q ctl. The tone of the
market is generally OF healthy character and
though there is apparently nothing in immedi-
ate surroundings to warrant the belief of any
pronounced buoyancy in the near future, yet
the indications are favorable for continued
steadiness at least
