directly opposing influences upon the mar

what the net result may be. In other re-
spects the state of trade is satisfactory, ex-
cept that severe storms and cold have much
interfered with trade, collections and trans

while Atlantic exports of wheat were I6O,OOO
bushels; but there Is nothing to indicate
that the unsold surplus at the end the year
