The depression in speculative markets put
q 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 filed up. Concessions were offered by
sellers, but no one seemed TO be III very
great need of grain. Receipts for the two
days were 7j9 cars, of which 3S3 came In
over the Manitoba road. Shipments were 80
cars. Duluth reported SO on track
larger proportion than usual of the sample
wheat was carried away unsold at the close.
The early market was at first strong, but sold
quickly down about %c to S1.I5A for
May, and as quickly back to ST. 5ss and
then TO 81. 15S4. The trade generally be.
ieyed in higher prices in the END, but
had been desired by the powers behind
bull deal that had undoubtedly been begun.
Believing so, they were more active buyers
on declines than sellers on bulges. There
was some wheat offered by elevator com
panies that make tia rule to sell against their
country holdings. Sellers for purely specu-
latiye purposes were scarce. and the short
interest was feeling for weak spots to buy
on. Reports from the country were plenti-
full that the farmers free movement mas
generally ceased and moro of the country
elevators have been closed indefinitely.
Flour was not selling, and there was nothing
in the consumptive movement or wheat 10
encourage firmness. But as the free move
ment of wheat in the Northwest encouraged
selling few days ago, the cessation Oh IL en-
couraged buying at the late decline.
This market was well supplied all day, and
did not yield TO the break i'll Chicago ana

yanced again. Toward the close prices adj
