WHEAT FUTURES.

WHEAT FUTURES.
Wheat was higher at first with July at
Y334c, with too many sellers to get off great
deal, when prices began 10 fall. The decline
was steady, with a few fluctuations to 92lSc,
where the break was arrested and I2c gained
quickly. Trading was of general character
and quite large, but without any 1mPortans
lines changing. Later figures drooped some,
and business was slower, with considerable
hesitation. The crowd was mixed up on it,
and the character OF the trading indicated
much changing from one side TO the otner
very frequently. Reports showed similar
conditions Liverpool was called firm, with
moderate demand. A great deal was said
about the condition Of spring wheat which
does not seem to be in good shape. There is
too much dry and freezing weather IN the
North, and many fear for the result. Amount
of wheat on passage increased 1,Oo4.OU0 bu
last week.

ments that is not so easy to sell. excepting
on kind of speculative account. The profit
