above May. Near the close the market be-
came excited and prices rapidly advanced TO

Receipts OF wheat for the Two days, includ-
ing Sunday, were 2S6 ears with shipments %
cars. The demand for cash wheat was ex
ceedingly slow during most of the day, with
home millers rather backward in taking hold.
The offerings on the sample tables were quite
large and after a few selections had been
made BUYERS hesitated without getting
further concessions. few sam iles of win
ter wheat were offered and were n slow sale.
The advance in futures near the close caused
some improvement, both in demand and
prices.
