81. LOUIS. April 4.-FlOur quiet and I'M
changed. Wheat lower. The opening was firm,
but sharp declines in all other markets, together
with the tine weather, soon brought out a weaker
feeling. There was pressure to sell May that
broke 1t 23c, though 1t closed with buyers at 7sc
recovery from the bottom. June was also very
weak, and closed lee lower, while the new-crOp
options were better sustained, as shorts bought
bought freely. The close, however, was weak,

MINNEAPOLIS, April 4.-The display on the
sample tables was not very large again to-day,
for the wants of all classes of buyers. Sellers
claimed that there was even less demand than on
on all kinds Of wheat. No. / hard was held at
about previous prices. but the lower grades were
offered at reduced prices, without attracting buy,
up at $50 at first, but the slump in speculative
markets had some effect on trading, If 1t did not
on prices. Receipts were 134 cars and so were
shipped out. Closing quotations: No: 1 hard.
