one shipper has engagements to fill and he is
said to be calling in Buyer Season contracts

and weaker. One failure in Liverpool of
firm dealing largely in Red EASTERN Wheats
caused drop of Sd a GENITAL in those grades.
The recent tirmness in cargoes near at hand
for French account is less noticeable. Crop
accounts in Europe so far give no cause for
apprehension, but all their crops are back
ward. Our market can only be quoted at
81 As to 81 An for No. Shipping, with
| limited demand for Milling OF 81 5O@1 50
