market opening with sellers of july at 91S4c,
and fell to about 91l2c before buyers were
much attracted by it. 1t fell later to 1ac and
rose 3801iac and dropped to 907S@9ic. June
was offered at 9O4c, but buyers were not
taking it then. The month is nominally
about 1c under July. May was held about &c
under July. There is very little doing for
futures nearer than July. At times that month

No northern wheat was fairly good at the
start, several local milers buying, but as the
weakness became more developed in tut
ures, they began TO hold back, and sales were
slow to make, except at concessions. No.
hard was not in active demand. The under
grades appeared to be doing little better at
the lower range of prices, but were still dull.
The demand apparently would have bken
good at abont Sac under July, but holders
were not willing to accept such figures.
Prices ranged a little over cent under Tues
