weak again, May starting at from 5434@54TSc,
compared with Sage at the close yesterday. The

soon accomplished. An advance 30 551sc in the
first ten minutes trading was followed by several
reactions TO 81 7c and recoveries to 55 Lsc during
the next hour and half. The situation was un.
changed in all essential particulars, though the
Liverpool market was quoted as opening easier
ana 14d lower. The Cincinnati Price Current re-
marked that the interior offerings continued
small and that milers' supplies were generally
low.
New York reported some buying of wheat on
foreign account and sent buying orders here on
its own account The scalping crowd was looking
for reaction from the recent heavy feeling. but
every outside order TO sell 1000 bushels was fol-
lowed upon its execution by bunch OF small
bites or offerings from the local scalpers. The
price was down again TO $3.50 about TWO hours
from the opening. The total receipts ut the prt-
mary markets amounted to 226, 600 bushels COM
pared with 217 600 bushels Thursday of last
week and 279,OO0 bushels on the corresponding
