WHEAT FUTURES.
A brisk demand was noted for wheat tut
lures Saturday morning, with more. or less
excitement, caused by covering and realiz-
ing. Prices early went up from 8SAc bid to
SSS4c,. and then to S9c September. The re-
snap out of it, and by IL o'clock it had gone
down to sS3sc. The reports from abroad
noted a firm and higher market. and
said crops are backward in the United
Kingdom and OH the continent. Still
it was admitted that with good
vest might not be later than usual: The
movement of winter wheat was fair. In the
Northwest there was talk OF hot dry weather
again, and in various parts OF Dakota there
was complaint of it. In other respects the
weather was called favorable. August went
up from soc to 897sc, and back to 89Ac.
December sold from 90lsc to 1sc.

CASH WHAT.
Receipts of wheat for Saturday were so
cars. Shipments, 81 cars. There was a
pretty fair demand for good wheat from both
homeland outside millers, with rather light
offerings There was a little outside buying
of poor wheat, but such lots were generally
at opening and holders advance d their ask
ing prices later, but buyers were backward
about taking hold of track wheat at figures
it was held at. Later the market weakened
in sympathy with lower futures, and such
lots as did,not sell early were slow to move
later.SN.sE
