question was felt in the wheat market

very little in consideration and the de-
cline was due rather to the belief In a
peaceful solution Of the Cretan affairs
than to any bearish Interpretation Of
the statistical news or to the wheat
situation proper. The opening OF the
market was easy, a squirt to yester-
days close following. but prices after
ward settled down and closed steady

wheat was easy n NC lower.
The corn market vas generally
steady, the opening, however, being
easv. partly through the influence ex-
eFted by the quiet tone Of the cables
and partly in sympathy with wheat.
Cash corn was in good demand, firm.
Prices were Nc higher.

there were grave apprehensions that it
would be railroaded through the sem
