places. The decline was less in New
York than in the West, as relative
| prices there had been lower and to some
extent based on export values. Wheeler
was good buyer around SIC for both
May and July. with the selling widely
| scattered. There were some outside
buying orders here and filled with con-
siderable promiscuous dealings by
home traders. August was 1c under
May.
The reason that August sold so near
to July was that it takes old wheat to
fill with. The fear is that old wheat
then may be scarce and wanted to mix
with new for grinding. The fact of old
wheat being required so late in the
season prevents business, and it seems
to be general sentiment that the rule
should be changed to make any wheat
deliverable on contracts, whether in
speeding old or new; until that is done
there will be caution in sales of August
and September.
May wheat was nominal at the OPEN
ing.and July sold at SIC; August sold at
SEC. There were bidders for May at
July prices, but it was mostly held at a
little higher when found for sale. After
the first sales the market advanced &c,
with sales Of July at SIC. That price
did not hold long, and before IL o'clock
the market for July was under SIC, with
bidders at S6s4c. The feeling was weak
the most of the day, with trading
around SIC for May and July, with An.
gust about 1c under. Following are the
closing quotations: No. hard, April,
Csc; May, Csc; July, Csc; on track, 81:

There was feeling of weakness in
the cash wheat market, as might have
been expected on drop of three cents
in futures and receipts that exceeded
expectations. Sellers were trying to
dispose of their grain, though bids con-
sidered too low were refused on the
prospect of firmer market Monday.
Local stocks in elevators are expected
to show decrease of $4,000 bushels for
the week, and the visible supply de-
crease is also expected to be large, A
few outside orders were being filled, and
some local grinders were sorting up
stocks, though the aggregate sales were
light. Receipts for the two days were
347 ears, 247 of them coming in over the
Manitoba road. Shipments were 153
cars. Duluth reported II on track.
