all of the pits on the board OF trade today
Traders were inclined 70 even up their deals
in view of the fact that tomorrow will be
holiday The news affecting the price of
wheat was generally bearish; cables were
weak and lower: the accumulations in Great
Britain showed heavy increase during the
past week in spite of a decided decrease in
the shipments from Russia and England; r.
ceipts at the leading points in this country
were heavy and the export clearances at the
seaboard were only moderate.

quiet and steady for time; then. under
fair demand from shorts to realize profits
the market grew firm and advanced to 92ssc.
a report was then received from New York
that foreigners were free sellers there; local
longs were also found TO be unloading, and
Ream. Cudahv, Kent and other bears were
said TO be putting out good lines. These
offerings broke the price 10 92c. During the
last hour however, there was rally to 925sc
on the strength of dispatch from New York
saying that eablegram was published to the
effect that Russia will have to import about
60, 100000. bushels of wheat TO supply the
wants of the nation. and thatthe minister of
the interior had been dismissed by the car
for concealing the gravity of the situation so
long. and allowing so much wheat to be ex-
ported. While this report was not con-
frmed il made trade nervous ana the close
was nearly az the top. 92l2c.
The strength in y oYeInber corn continued.
There was very little TO be had, and the price
was advanced from GOO 10 75c. with
very limited transactions. reaction

which carried the price to 75c. at which
il closed. There were rumors that some
of the largest shorts had effected
private settlements at12e. but the market did
not show il Year corn started at 475sc. sold
