Wheat was lower this morning and fell
further later in the day. The chief cause Of
the break was that there had been a reaction
caused by the shorts covering, which re-

long account desired 10 pay. to sustain the
prices merely for sentiment. London was
called steady and quiet but Liverpool was
weak according to private cables and I2d
lower: The New York spectators were re-
ported 10 be selling wheat for May in the
west. which sales were based OIL tie lower
Liverpool quotations and they affected mar
kets unfavorably. The general feeling was
unsettled.
There was good demand early for good
wheat but II was soon filled, after which the
market was SLOW. Millers boguht fairly OF
Nos. /, and 3, and elevators took No l

run into the rut of inactivity again. or as near
into it as the changed position this year Will
permit. The demand for current use does
well even in the dull times this season. and
there are forward sales enough that are
ordered from to keep local mills fairly en-
ployed.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments LOGO tons:
quoted at S11W1l50 for bran, SII@12 for
shorts and S12G12.50 for middlings Mill
stuff was in the ordinary demand, but the
stiff prices that millers held it at interfereo
an
ceded enough to effect sales when they
needed to do SO TO keep the surplus cleared
out OF the way. Some millers he'd shorts
above bran, but others sold at the same prices
Corn-Receipts, 800 bu; shipments, 2.lGO
bu. Quoted at 340p35c for No. 3, 35@l35I9c for

much weakness in sample lots, the prices OF

blu. Quoted at zS12029c for No white; 2S0l
2es4c for No. white and 2e019Sc for No :
and 3. Oats maintained a reasona BILE steadi-
ness and there was no backwardnes SIS in buy
Ing when the stock was needed. for the COM
mon feeling was that prices are quite war
ranted by the situation. Receipts continue
fairly large for local cons umpton and afford
a moderate surplus TO ship. The buyers for
the latter purpose were in the market
