Undoubtedly the financial troubles in New

Exports were fair. The spring wheat
movement has fairly commenced, and Is
also serving to check bulls enthusiasm.
Atmosp here is clearing very rapidly in

ment is not very large, hence do not look
Tor any material decline from present
figures. Corn has been LEFT TO the scalpcrs

nnanimty on that point, and | cannot
agree with them. If the market sells above
