Wheat opened weak and lower this morn
ing. The condition Of winter wheat as re-
ported by the government after close OF bnsl
ness Saturday was l per cent lower than
April 10, but that was better than had been
expected and tended to weakness. The con-
dition in the spring wheat regions was not
f]attering according to reports from around
the Northwest to-day. The weather IS coid
with frosts reported and the ground dry, all
through the middle and north where last
weeks rain did not reach. Still q part of the
reports speak hopefully of the prospect,
while others were quito the reverse. me
wheat market was very unsettled and ad-
yanced from the first, with some fluctuations,
from 92c July to 93lsc shortly after the noon
hour. Trading in July was brisk and fair
business was done in May at some &c under
July. There was good buying, with no large
lines for sale.
