went flying after September, impelled
by mad rushes to buy and general bull
excitement. It soon reached 81 o2h,
and then in common with the rest Of the
list cooled of little both In trading nc-
tivity and upward movement. For a
time the whole market rested like some
huge monster taking breath after a fray,

bought. There were no important ex-
port transactions. and the spring wheat
