Wheat was very strong, but the temptation
to close out long stuff here and ut 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 10 sustain p-ices, the selling of
long wheat, aud the selling of some for short
account broke prices more than lc in few
minutes. The market showed itself to be
in the hands of scalpers largely. Coun-
try elevator buyers are doing little sell
Ing and will probably n 1t do much until The
country movement gets very much larger
than 1t 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 were pretty well evened up during
the morning.

CASH WHEAT.
The large numUer of cars that arrived
placed big supply of samples on the tables
10 be disposed of, one al a time, for each car
had to be examined and rated separately. If
there had been no break i'll futures, there
might have been better demand for sam
pies, for when futures decline cash buyers
strike for an equivalent break III spot stuff,
and without immediate compliance on the
part of holders, there is dizziness. The 1ues-
ton of elevators not transferring grain that
needs handling, is giving a great deal of
trouble.and is affecting the value of ali gram
not going To mills or into Store. Samples
Went slowly after the early sales aud such
lots as could not 20 direct to the mills or to
store were hard to move. The matter Of
transfer of lots needing handling was
troublesome matter for some lines.
