Wheat futures were strong. but dull.
Offerings were light and the demand
was moderate, but it was sufficient to
put prices up little under the eircum-
stances. No cables were received, owing
to holiday in England. One favorable
feature was that the difference between
September and December is gradually
narrowing. More gold imports are ex-
pected this week as the currency pre-
MUM offsets the loss by exchange.
