Wheat opened quite strong yesterday
/ by a number of small orders to buy,
together with q little better tone eyinced
IN some of the Liverpool cables. There
was also decrease Oh passage Of l, 400,-
600 bushels, and the visible from early
returns predicted a decrease of nearly
100000 bushels. New York also advised
of very liberal quantity exported dur
ing the past two days. India showed
an increase of 10000 bushels shipped
during the week, and the visible supply
did not show the decrease expected, be-
ing only 11S.000 bushels. The latter
two items put damper OH the trade
after the early orders had been filed,
and the market ruled rather quiet for
the balance of the morning session. Its
course was, however, stubborn ana in
clined to maintain the advantage gained,
and up to noon fluctuations were con-
fined within very narrow limits.
The news of the day was, on the
whole, little more bullish, and it
would appear that many had spent their
hours of the Sabbath picking up grains
of hope for the wheat market rather
than the pearl of great price. During
the Interim of business they have found
that our stocks are seriously depleted at
all primary markets.; that the greater
part of our entire available is in the
official visible, and that we have moth
ing to fall back upon when that begins
to decrease. Notwithstanding their late
discovery there was not IMAM Jack"
Of them that had the courage to put
their shoulder to the wheel and shift
the market from the rut in which it has
been wallowing.
