Sample sellers claimed that the market
was duller than on the preceding day: Re-
ceipts were 90 cars. and moderate display
was made on the tables, and buyers found no
trouble in supplying themselves with all the
grain needed. Speculative markets were
weak on 100000 blu increase in the
amount on ocean passage. and buyers OF
cash wheat seemed to have their fears of a
famine allayed by the same cause. There
was scarcely a sale made up to - O'Clock,
and concessions in prices appeared
to offer no inducements to millers.
Shipments were SO cars. Duluth re-
weak and lower in sympathy with other
points and in the first hour slight degree of
firmness succeeded the opening depression.
Cables reported foreign mnrkets very dull
and lacking in activity, while a New York
report made the amount of wheat on ocean
passage 100000 bushels greater than a
week ago. The bullish kilograms of the
evening before were Of no avail and the
trade looked for a heavy, declining market.
Very little demand was developed after the
placed at $l.O15s.. After that May was
offered at l.0734, but there was little in

share of the time was bare of traders There
