and provisions closed unchanged to I4Ec

The opening in wheat was weak, with
no special important trade. Both local
professionals and outsiders were sellers
in a moderate way and for short time
prices showed dropping tendency and
ranged slightly below Saturdays close.
The weakness was mainly on account
Of decline in Liverpool. Receipts at
most western primary points were
heavy, though they did not reach last
years total. This fact. however, was
lost sight Of for the time being. The
narrownpss of trade at first rendered

by n steady advance to 7Sl&c. the mar
