&c, declined &c, and then suddenly advanced
lSsc, eased OF lc and closed about Ac lower
than yesterday. There were moderate offerings
early in the day and but little demand, and
after fuctuating within small range for some
little time suddenly advanced on covering by
shorts, which action was influenced some by re-
ports of buying of wheat in Wisconsin by Min
neapolis millers and reported blizzard in Da-
kota heading eastward. The shorts possibly
were also induced to cover, to Some extent, on
account of the holiday tomorrow.
Corn was moderately active az times tnousn

quiet There was nothing new In consequence
developed that had any apparent effect on
