The enthusiasm of the previous few days
in the wheat market had worn away. and
prices fell from the low closing of yesterday,
which was S71sc, to 87Ac. A better demand
saved the market from further decline at
that. and a rise to 875sc september was
made Business was slower than for several
previous days. According to BeerbOhms'
cable cargOes off coast were slow and moth
ing doing in corn. and wheat cargoes on pas
sage found few bidders. Mark Lane said
wheat at the opening was very 1nact-
i've and perhaps, cheaper. report
was read at the Glasgow millers
convention estimating the production of
wheat of all countries 1O,000.O0O quarters
short Of the seasons requirement.. Crops in
the Northwest were reported as doing, fairly
well to-day where they were not already ma
tured, and where there is moisture enough.
Reports from some places said foreigners
were selling futures i'll this country. There
is very little yet that can be said with any
confidence with respect to the final outcome
of the spring wheat crop, owing to Its spotted
condition.
