frost, made light of at first, is often serious
matter. The answer to it was that with frost
where the crop is grown and the kernel full
size, the yield is not reduced, the only harm
being in reduction Of quality, factor that
never yet ended in keeping up prices of wheat
in the country so injured.
The opening market for September was
about 76Iac, and sold above and below it
during the day. There was the usual prem
INN for August and December above Septem-
Der, put the trading was nearly all in SepLem-
ber.7 The range was from 76c to TIC. The
elevator companies have let loose but little
wheat futures against country purchases, as
such purchases have been small, which puts
but little floating i'll the market as a trading
basis. Nearly all operators are somewhat
interested one way or another in moving the
remaining old crop wheat, and while so en-
ployed are paying little attention to futures.
There was good cash demand reported in
all general markets, with reports of quite
large amounts being worked at the lake
markets for immediate shipments, some be-
ing bought on to-day's cables. Some private
cables reported Liverpool closing weak with
three farthings decline, but public closed
higher. There have been heavy sales of May
oats that depressed the market.
Following are the closing quotations.: No.
hard on track, Csc; No. 1 northern cash,
SIC; August, 7Sl2c; December, 7SAc; on
track, SS@99c; No. 2 northern on track, $50
S4c.
There was some inquiry for milling wheat
on the board ali the morning, but offerings
consisted almost wholly of elevator wheat
that is not very desirable. Millers were look
ing for fresh wheat and all receipts from
the country that made an appearance on the
board were examined early. The fresh re-
celpts of No. 3 were absorbed early in the
day and at prices that were steady to firm.
In the elevator wheat prices were not strong
and some sales were made at easier figures.
Receipts for the day were "a cars and So

rather light receipts. Demand only on local

siderable quantities. and the market is barely
steady; quoted at from 2O@2sc, but the out
side is Obtainable only for the finest grades.
