rather dull, but the undertone was decidedly
firm. News was scarce. and as the market got
pretty well eveped up in the shuttle yesterday,

days close, and in short time the market
stiffened up &c, December going to Soc and
May to S31%c
The most important bull news received here
was Minneapolis dispatch saying that Cana

Tor wheat 6@Sc per bushel in Manitoba, and
that some of them had recently been getting
supplies at Toledo. Under the influence of this
news and the reported working of 100000
bushels more here for export, the market took
on decided strength late in the session, and
during the last minutes lively trade was wit
messed, and the best prices of the day were at
tanned. Tie final closing showed net gain of
S@15c.
Corn was moderately active and easier early,
but frmer later as the session advanced. The
free movement created considerable pressure

trmer, closing 1sc'lower than yesterday on near
futures and Isc higher on deferred futures.
