Wheat opened trihe lower than 1t
closed yesterday. The decline in sep7
tember was quite marked. but deferred
futures had some outside support and
resisted the innuepce of the lower ca
bles and heavy primary receipts, prices
for over two hours holding close to
opening quotations. The market dur
Inv that time outside of short periods
of activity in September was exception
ally dull. The strength of December
was mostly artificial, as a good deal Of
changing was done, selling September
AVID buvIug December. That December
AID moi advance was due to the selling
nv shorts, and though price changes
were narrow, the general feeling IN the
nit was one of heaviness. The SepteIl-
her premium In the meantime entirety
SIsappeared and the price OF that OPP
tIon finally declined to point ABOUT &c
under December under elevator people
apparently willing to sell even at tliat
figure. Up to within about thirty MIN
utes Of the close trading was dulIest IN
weeks. Toward the end of the session
more activity was shown. The seas
bnnrd reported good export demand,
with about fifty loads engaged. The
northwest markets previously rather
wenk turned frmer and local shorts

Gradually advancing. Northwest re-
CENTS were i.O22 cars against 81 last

reints were 1873 cars, eleven OF which
wore Of contract grade. Total primary
receints were l.2I5,0O0 bushels, against
ogs o0O q year ago. The northwest
nredIcted heavier receipts next week.
Atlantic port clearnnces Of wheat and
flour aggregated $4,000 bushels. Ar
gentlne shipments were LIBERAL l,OiOvVO
bushels, which was given as one OF the
reasons for the weakness In foreign
markets. The northwest promised an
increase In stocks OF about l;lVO0OV
bushels, which indicated a visible m
crense OF over 100000. December
onened nc lower at 7O&97O&c. 1t de-

Corn was very dull but steady until
near the end OF the session, when

caused by good buying by shorts. who
