There seemed to be a general liquidation OF
long wheat. May opened at 5sc and closed
at 572sc, a decidedly new point. July was
about as weak as May, opening at 6o7sc and
closing at sec. February closed at SIC on
N SFoeS ; N NG; narS 5sc Oic Sales les, quite ite' large; lots
of May were soil at sc, and considerable
July at 5S%c. For a few minutes after open
fort was made to sustain prices. Then the
break opened, and there was a gradual loss
of 1c. When CSC was reached there was a
more rapid slump, and the price fell the
next cent, TO SIC, in about ten minutes.
The last half hour was more quiet. with a
slight rally. The most of No. 1 Northern
wheat that was offered for sale on track
brought soc to 5912c, or 1c to hc above the
closing figures. These sales were made
there were very little TO sell. Tn country
roads in the Northwest are bad, and teams,
it is reported, have difficulty in getting to
market with their grain. The late warm
days have affected the roads, and now be-
ing followed by ice it is not possible TO
move grain either with sleighs or wagons
checked the tendency Of farmers to sell.
