There was more in yesterday than for
some time and draggy and lower market.
Speculation was light and futures in Chi
cago were off sharply, hence the buyers of
cash here wanted lower prices and did much
picking around. But in a quiet way the
bulk of the offerings were disposed of by the
close at a decline of 1h@lc No. hard sold
at 7h@8c over test No. 3 hard, 7h@8C
over; No. hard, 76Dl0c over The close,
however, was weak at these prices. The fu-
ture market as well as the cash, was bear
'ish. May opened the day at 673Ac, sold
down to 6Gc and closed at this, the low
point of the day, decline of 1sc since Sat
urday. July opened the day at 66Nc, ad-
vanced TO &c, then broke down to 66c, the
low notch. There was general snow re-
ported throughout the West, and small
holders were generally sellers, as they had
q slight profit in sight and the news 30 far
as received was by no means bullish. The
receipts in the Northwest were also heavy
and very good at other points The visible
supply statement showed an increase of
about 10000 bushels last week in the Unit
ed States and Canada, which was light. BY

Better receipts yesterday than for some
time and but little support to the market
from the country caused a weaker feeling.
Country orders are coming in very slowly
and the fact that the visible supply state
ment showed a decrease of only about 50O,-
600 bushels against $4,000 bushels the
same week last year was construed as a
bearish sign. Futures in Chicago dropped
a fraction and May and July here closed a
trife lower. The cash market here was a
good Ac off and even at this decline there
was no life to trade. BY sample on track
