beyond expectations. The day started with
prices lust q shade lower for near futures
and 4c lower for December, The trade was
not aggressive on either side. The early
Liverpool cable gave prices tending upward
with spot wheat u pence dearer. This was
balanced by the remarkably fine weather on
this side. and some improvement abroad
other things being favorable, the trade here
did not feel like buying, because they bought
steadily from Hutchinson yesterday, and
shorts were not only covered, but many were
loaded i'll a small way. There was. after the
first hour, slight improvement from open
Ing prices but this was more than lost at
noon, when prices ruled lower than at the
opening, and from a to l2c under
