lily down until SLl2c was reached. At that
figure there was very fair demand, with
small reaction and a few sales at 5Sc
subsequently The feeling was easier, and for
a considerable time the market stood at SOl2
@SO5sc. Trading was active during the early
part of the dav, with more business than
usual. Receipts were 42l cars at Minneap-
break seemed to be the holiday character Of
foreign markets, increased receipts in the
Northwest and the selling out of long wheat.

Receipts $50 cars, shipments SIS. against
262 and 81 yesterday. The demand for
sample wheat, considering the decline for
futures, was good, though at a lower range
than yesterday. Buying, as for some time
past was mainly by home millers for their
own use. Larger receipts brought more of it
on the sample tables but II was pretty well
disposed OF at the end of the session, except
ing the low grades. and they were again very
difficult to sell. Buyers were in the market
for them that claimed to be unable to handle
them at the prices asked. Near the close
wheat was weaker and the last sales at the
bottom for the day.
