The wheat market opened weak, with
prices about the same as they closed last
night. fractional advance was secured
shortly after, but was of short duration, and
the market fell back again to q shade under
opening prices. There were few small raj.

narrow limits. Business was generally dull
The Interests seemed 10 be mainly in favor of
the bull side, but quotations from other
places showed dragging market and buy
ers hesita ed about taking on more long
wheat. Weather was colder in the winter
wheat section, but in most places the ground
was covered with snow and the plant proba-

Receipts of wheat were l67 cars for the
day. and shipments 70 cars. The demand
was less active. and. with the lower sales of
futures, prices on spot wheat declined. A
few early sales were quite well up. but later
the markei. dragged lower. Local millers
were the chief buyers. A few small lots were
taken for shipment, but shippers II ostly held
off for further break. Considerable wheat
was offered by elevator companies. with
several lots sold to arrive. The sales to ar
rive were about as high as the same grades
would bring for May delivery. Reports from
the interior indicate small but steady farm
movement.
