Wheat opened easier on the local board,
and with a decline. at Eastern markets the
crowd was looking for a break. Everybody
appeared to be selling at the start and first
sales of May were ct S1.23. though prices
quickly dropped lac. December sold down
to Sl.l7li by IL o'clock, and the demand
was very light. Election talk took UP the
attention of traders to such degree that the
pit was deserted most OF the time. Early
sales were the best made. Cables reported
wheat steady, with prices unchanged. Wheat
on the sample tables went begging for buyers
all the day. and at the close there was still
liberal supply for sale. Buyers were holding
off. as they have done for a week. and no
inducement i'll the way of reductions in
values had any effect. Sellers were offering
No. 2 northern at 81. II, that they claimed
could be sold for S1.16 the day before. The
better grades were in some demand, and but
few cars of No..1 hard were on sale. Re-
ceipis here for the day were PIG cars, and 62
were shipped out Duluth reported 20 cars
OH tract. The market closed very dull. with
aconsiderable quantity unsold. Following are
the closing quotations: Grades-No. hard.

FlOur-Market Record: Trade was dull at
the advance quoted i'll prices. There Was
moderate inquiry from general domestic
small order dealers, but not much demand
from large jobbers. A few sales were made
for export at 42s for patents and 2S@29s for
bakers. The difference between the two
grades shows the straits of millers to dispose
OF bakers without the aid of foreign demand
to clear away the surplus. Wheat Is too high
in the Northwest to make -four from to sell
