rather quiet but later good speculative
business developed. The feeling was de-
cidedly unsettled, though most OF the dav
fluctuations were confined within small
range. Between the various influences
which were presented operators were Kept
in a constantly changing mood IN regard TO
trading Some rumors OF financial trouble
abroad and alsoa New York were received,
but nothing but small failure
in London could be traced TO
any reliable source. The latter news
caused. however. little uneaslness and q
slight decline for the time being. But re
ports Of export buying at New York
caused a reaction and tirmer feeling. 4
report was credited to BrGdstTecls saying
that the amount of surplus wheat of the
United States was only 9l,00O,OO0 bushels,
nj which 81 100000 bushels had already
been exported. leaving but 30,OOOOOO. This
caused some little excitement and helped TO
force prices to the top notch. Corn was
fairly active. within fair range, with the
feeling prevailing much better, good
advances being established on all
futures. Oats were traded in
