tended to create less confidence here, and at
the opening there was a good deal of wheat

CASH WHEAT-Morc activity prevailed
throughout the session and rather liberal
tn6uIO6d M ortI1
freely traded on spot and to arrive at kc
hlgner plane than was characteristic OF the
market Monday. Millers and elevators
bought No. northern at 2hzc under Decem-
Der. Some large sales were made to arrive on
the same basis. No. 2 northern was in i'm
proved request at &c under standard. There
qualities of No. 3 wheat, with prices ranging
all the way from 53c to Coo. Low grades
were slow and light trading the rule. Some
improvement seems to have taken place in
the monetary situation, as elevators are more
prominently in the market and this would
seem to suggest the idea that money must
be trifie easier. Receipts, $40 cars;
shipped, 73.
