far from sluggish to-day. There was goou
range of prices, and business at times was
very heavy The market was that OF an uncer-
tain kind which often results when the
news is one way and the feelings OF the traue
the other Way. On the whole to-day, the
news was bullish, while the trade was pear
ish. The market opened higher for all tut
ures and made some advances all AROUND OH

lighter than anticipated. At ST. Louis, Wnere
the talk was for 100000 bu the recelpts
were 143, 600 bu and July wheat opened 12c
higher. At Minneapolis, where 400 cars
were expected, the receipts were zoo cars
Another bullish feature was the large de-
crease in the visible supply. The decrease
had been estimated at from 5OO,ooO Du 10
500, 900 bu, and it was soon apparent that
the decrease for the week would reach
l 900. 600 bu or more, and the official figures
gave the decrease as 1915, 900 bu. The de-
crease here was pa, 600 bu, leaving stock
of all kinds of 1858 900 bu. Before noon
there was a sharp decline from the best
prices early, on heavy selling by Hutchinson,
selling for place. and the slight encourage
ment given by the cables. Prices, however,
remained at the bottom but short ume
Eight loads ofWheat were engaged III this mar
hot for export. New York reported some eX-
mort nusiness. There were rumors of better

/ o'clock. July sold at nc to 7Sc, TO TI1sc'
december. 7S14c to 7Sssc, to 7SlSc, to 7oesc,
10 777sc. The second bulge in wheat was no
better sustained than the first and prices de-
clined to the close. Last prices were very
nearly the same as the opening figures, ana
from 1AMIac better than Saturday. Corn was
dull from first to last. The range OF prices
