count OF reports of light frosts in the North

the price gradually declined to a point about
nc below the opening. There was a sharp de-
mand FOR cash wheat, both for spot stuff and
STOCK to arrive. Premiums were we'll main
tanned throughout and in many cases slight
advances were conceded by the more aggres-
sive buyers. There was good outside inquiry
