was reported short, and likely to become a
big buyer. Report of damage came from

CASH WHEAT
The buying of cash wheat was principally
by elevator companies. A few cars were
bought by local millers and some was taken
to go out, but this class of buying was lighter
than usual. The bulk of the sales of No.
northern were made al 97l2c, delivered, with
No. = northern &c under. Some sele ctiuns of
No. 1 northern sold as high as Csc. and few
cars sold up to 9SS4c. f. O. b., but they were

dull. Receipts of wheat for the ~ hours

Demand for low and medium grades was
large and the request active as it had been
