NIinneanOiis Wheat.

Tradingwas spasmodic in the local wheat
market, and the early business was done at
materially lower prices. Cables were lower
and tending down. Still there was feverish
and uncertain feeling noted with wide fuc-
tuations. The opening was lower and sales
1c or so under the closing of Friday. This
was the closing day of the week, and as such
there was the usual disposition to avoid car
rying open trades of large lines into the
next week. The fluctuations are largely
the result of the uncertain position
abroad. Sensational reports were out in the
usual number. After the early decline there
more of the usual late unsteadiness. There
were claims that the Russian crops were
turning out better than expected, and on the
other hand that the recent unsettled weather
