SAN FRANCISCO, March 24th.
The tone of the Wheat market here is any
thing but healthy just at present. Operators
now recognize the total unreliability of the
Government report on stocks, and this makes
them very chary of the later announcements
regarding the probable amount of grain to be
carried over. According to the statementfirst
given out officially there We're apparently but
135, 900 900 bushels of wheat in this coun-
try, while now it is said that there is 27S.-
2S3, 900 bushels. On top of this the visible
supply decreases very slowly. and receipts ut
primary points are heavy in comparison with
the shipments The break in local prices to-
day took place III face of higher Eastern mar
kets, Chicago and New York opening a OF a
cent higher, ana closing at an advance OF y OF
