The wheat market was dull, and while
firm, shortly following the opening some
long wheat sold out Cables quo ted white
wheats firm, but reds weak. The weather
reports did not come 80 bad as was expected,
and sales for short account gained favor, the
larger volume of them breaking the markets
nearly 1c. The prospect is thought TO be UNI
favorable In the Northwest for a sound crop,
but il cuts no great figure. for the reverse is
still possible. The market was unsettled,
and the sma II fluctuations hinged upon
weather largely. The receipts of wheat were
small, only l06 cars being received. OF these
n good many went direct to local milIers,
leaving a limited amount to sell by sample.
The demaud for No. | northern was good,
with spot sales nade mostly at 1Q9l NC over
July. Considerable wheat was bought 10 ar
rive at lc premium. Very little No or 8
was offered. OFF grades were quiet. Not
enough business doing to tell what the pulse
of the market was. Supply was small. Wheat
