pathy with prospects OF improved crop con-
ditions caused by the prevailing forcing
weather All sorts of foreign wheat were
lower in Liverpool. That market quickly re-
spends to lower prices on this side now, and
anv Clique that breaks American markets

The same complaints continue of high cost
of wheat as compared with the selling price
of flour. The new crop is coming on the
market in the winter wheat country, and the
