advance the wheat market ruled easier to-day,
prices declining Xc, and closed sake lower

Northwest and this started parties who had
bought on cold weather to selling. Tomorrow

long wheat, parties not caring to hold till
Friday. Some little export business was re-
ported at the seaboard, and there was also
some business doing in cash wheat there.
