general disposition on the part of shorts to

erpool was steady. The wheat on passage
| showed a decrease for the week of 1O4. 0)0
bu. New York reported good inquiry from

better demand for futures and higher general
! ma, kete. The movement in the Northwe
from farm granaries was reported to be small
and elevator stocks steadily growing smaller.

were pretty well cleaned up early in the ses-
sion, and but little was left unsold.
