Margins Narrow. sY ~
There was very narrow market with
fluctuations rather slow and trade eyery-
where very small. The outside is doing moth
ing, and the pit traders generally favored
lower prices. The result was that after
little furry of strength at the opening, on
cash demand at Chicago and light receipts
in the Northwest, the market broke to within
Nc from put price, and fuctuated slowly be-
tween 60A@60Ac thereafter. The news Of the
day was mixed, but the heaviest piece was
the Bradstreet report, which showed the
worlds available to have increased about
million. The market sold off RAPIDLY 1c
on this. but with outside trade standing
ready to take hand on any big break, and
with the snow covering light in many parts
OF the winter wheat country, professionals
were rather inclined to keep out of the short
side Of the market. The following was the
