own undoing IL looked for time as IL
another break TO lower prices was in the
Immediate prospective, but when the
offerlngs had been absorbed with nothing
serious happening the shorts" were con-
yinced that II would be discreet 10 buy
back their wheat. Before the close prices
had fully recovered the early loss and
had several fractions gain over Saturday
10 their credit.

to-day. Partridge was willing TO take
All the May wheat for sale at &c, and the
attitude he assumed was doubtless an i'm
portant check 10 the early decline. The
leading influence for strength was the de-
crease of l,5s9.0OD bushels IN the visible
supply. The English visible supply also
decreased s6o00O bushels. The amount on
ocean passage Increased ii9u.Ve bushels.
