Wheat was very strong, but the temptation
TO close out long stuff here and at other
points was too strong to BE- resisted. The
shorts that were SO at the beginning of the
last rise had covered. and, with nothing but
sentiment to sustain prices, the selling of
long wheat, aud the selling of some for short
account, broke prices more THAI lie in a few
minutes. The market showed itself to be
in the hands of scalpers largely. CuuIi-
try elevator buyers are doing little sell-
ing and will probably not do much until The
country movement gets very much larger
than it is now. The bear feature in prices
now is the readiness with which importing
countries are supplied from other exporting
countries when we stop shipping. During
the latter part of the day futures were duh.
as they we're pretty well evened up during
the morning.

CASH WHEAT.
The large number of cars that arrived
placed big supply of sam les On the tables
10 be disposed of, one al q time, for each car
had to be examined and rated separately. If
there had been no break i'll futures, there
might have been a better demand for sam
pies, for when futures decline cash buyers
strike for an equivalent break in spot stuff,
and without immediate CONF lance on the
part of holders, there is dullness. The ques-
ton OF elevators not transferring grain that
needs handling, is giving u great de al of
trouble. and is affecting the value of ali grain
not going TO mills or into store. ga mples
went slowly after the early sales and such
lots as could not go direct to the mills or to
store were hard to move. The matter of
transfer of lots needing handling was q
troublesome matter for some lines
