There was a little quiet inquiry for
futures this morning, with the buyers
/ too far below the ideas of holders to
effect trading. The market was pretty
well evened up excepting sales that
were out against elevator stocks and
purchases by mil!ers both of which are
expected to stand open to near the May
deliveries. Such lots probably come
near balancing each other, though, per-
haps, ewheat sold against that will not
grade. and to that extent, the market
be over sold. The slow movement of
cash wheat was favorable to activity it
futures.
There was a little demand for May
wheat at about s10S at the start. with
holders asking high prices, but later
sales were made at sl.O724, and on a
run down touched S1.071s. There was
a rally and sold up to S1.0S3s, from
which there was again an easier feel
ing. Business, part of the day. was
unusually dull, aud then it was hard to
get trade even at the nominal price.
A large amount of cash offerings of
poor sample that stood around on the
tables nnsOld gave the general trading a
dull appearance. Prices of futures
were rather steady up to near the close.
Following are the closing quotations.:
No. 1 hard, February, S1.0S: March,
s1.1s; May, S1.201a; on track, S1.l6@1.17;

There was liberal display of wheat
again on the sample tables, and the
posted receipts of 179 cars on the black
H. o,.J fn hf,tr
The demand was very flat, even less in
quiry being apparent than on the pre-
vious day. The quality of the grain
was poor, as usual. There were few
local millers examining samples, but up
to IL o'clock very few sales had been
made, and even the slight bulge in spec
ulative markets did not have much
effect in bringing OH activity. Sellers
were making concessions from previ-
GUS quotations, but there was light de-
mand for g0od wheat, and the poor
stuff could hardly be marketed
at any price. Shipments were
90 cars. Duluth reported 81 on track.
