Wheat was weak and opened at S1.06
May, after which there was reaction to

was great deal of wheat to sell, and prices
declined spasmodically. touching 81 .041A at
12o'cIock. The selling was general, includ-
ing sales by elevator men, millers and COM
mercial men, while buying was mainly by
shorts, These put 1t out again on small re-
actions, leaving the market without any good
support. The wiuter wheat country reported
rains removing the snow covering, but the
danger from that cause was disregarded in
the push to unload and stop further
loss. The decline in futures caused a very

scalping nature, May touching $I.Ol: 10000

There was some inquiry for milling wheat
among the sample tables early in the morn
ing, and indications pointed to g revival of
the demand for cash grain. The improve
ment was short lived, however, and before
II o'clock the same dizziness was apparent
that has eharac erized the trade for the last
two weeks. Some sales of No. were made
early at $l.OS, and the little demand APP
peared to be mainly for that grade, but low
grades were as slow as ever. Receipts were
IL cars, and 80 were shipped out. Duluth
reported 20 cars on track. Local stocks de-
creased So, 485 blu last week, and Duluth in
