Wheat showed fair steadiness in the early
trading. and later was firm and higher. The
amount OF wheat on passage decreased 1,0l8
900 bu and corn decreased 152, 600 bu. If the
decrease continues for a few weeks it would
remove one cause of depression. Whether
the rise yesterday was an indication of future
strength, or of simple reaction, was a point
not we'll settled in the minds of traders. At
least some thought it prudent 10 be careful
alb out selling too freely after the late large
decline. Some selling against calls was
noted, and it checked the rise before Il

bags including red dog. The flour markets
are quiet but steady excepting a general
weakness that prevails. caused by sympathy
with wheat that has settled so much recent
ly. A great deal more wheat has been found
in the corners all over that had not been
in public sight, than there had been any
thought OF, and that has taken the nerve
out of the market. big deal TO run I'D
