WHEAT-The market shows no very active
symptoms. Moist weather doubtless influence
to some extent the movements of operators.
With no pressing demand from abroad, shippers
are less inclined to purchase for export purposes
very freely in the face of a good and general
rain-storm Such ineidentals tend TO weaken tee
situation at almost any time, and the prospect for
decline in quotations, under present surround

than when II is brisk and active. There is fairly
liberal array of offerings but there is no large
quantity of really choice product. Most of the
samples submitted are of medium and off-grade
qualities. Whatever demand may exist, calls for
first-class article. Quicker sale is found for the
more choice offerings than anything else. Trans

gagged for the same on several successive
Panama steamers Much stock has been sent

mailing season. There has been some move

buyers will take no more than will meet their
pressing necessities. supplies are more than
plentiful, but stocks remain under good control,
