being practically deserted by traders In
wheat the governing influence was the
New York stock market and as IL varied
SO did the wheat options. As stocks show
ed a tendency TO firmer feeling wheat
maintained a steadier tone, but it could
not be said that the business transacted
was at all voluminous. The talent said
that the uncertainty arising from the OK

cash market was stronger and nc. higher
