About Wheat.

The wheat market had been a little
down for a few days until yesterday,
when the price in this city again adj
vanced to IS cents. The tone of the
market is hopeful, and wheat is firm
at this price. In New York and Liy-
erpool the markets are reported firm,
and altogether the wheat outlook is
encouraging. Seventy-five cents is
considerably above the ruling price for
several years, and many farmers will
doubtless sell at this figure rather than
risk the fuctuation Of the market. II
is to say the least fair price for wheat.
