The wheat market opened quietly and
quickly ran down 1c. in sympathy with de
clines i'll the general markets at other places
and with the weakness in other grains. Corn
fell lie on speculative account. and oats as
much, while provisions were lower. A con-
tinuation of large farm movement of wheat
and consequent large arrivals here were
causes of local diSquiet. BradStreet'S re-
ported a small decline in available stocks,
and that led to realizing by longs, and few
shorts were put out. Near l O'Clock the
wheat market was higher, ana the loss of the
morning was more than made up The de-
mand was good for both cash wheat and
futures. The closing quotations to-day were
as follows: No. l hard, March, g9c; on track
99l20J9S4c: No. l northern, March ana April.
91c; May, 9Si2c; on track, 9134c: No. north
ern, March, 9jc; on track, 05I2c; July,
S10)$4.

lower i'll sympathy with futures. The bulk
of No. northern sold at 971Gf14c, and No.
. northern at CSC, which is about 12c under
yesterdays figures. Some sales were made
to arrive at 97c. The demand was slow as is
usually the case on a weak market. Eleva-
tor companies ana local and outside milleTs
were all i'll the market but only TO Il moderate
extent. Poor grades were allow. Some
fancy No northern sold up TO 91l2c deIiv-
cred, and CSC {. o. b. and o. t. Receipts of

second patents; S39C04.40 for fancy and ex-
port bakers: SLSl0235 for low grades In
bags, including red dog. Flour was rather
quiet. but firmly held by millers, who were
selling fairly. Considerable was going abroad
of both patents and bakers on old contracts.
with some OH fresh sales. The domestic
trade was quite fair, though not so large as
was desirable. The low grades moved easily.

Yorable in the flour line. There is too little
of the low grades to supply all wants for
them.
