The depression in speculative markets put
a damper On the buyers of milling wheat.
ana samples displayed OH the tables went
begging for purchasers IN the first hour.
Some inquiry developed later, but with
most of the local millers out of the market.
Owing TO the shutting down of many of the
mills. there was not an extensive inquiry to
be filled up. Concessions were offered by
great need of grain. Receipts for the two
