was all gone from wheat to-day. At the

sellers. The weather since Saturday was
conceded to be most beneficial to winter
wheat. The snow followed by a hard
freeze afforded the plant all protection
that is necessary. The partial absence of
this protection was recently a bull factor.

this afternoon, caused some hesitation

to restrain short sellers. May wheat
