NEW YORK, August There were
a good many disappointed brokers
around the wheat pit to-day. All Wis
ions OF a heavy speculative trade at
the expense of Chicago, whose quota
lions were cut off from the tickers to-
day and replaced by New York prices,
vanished. Instead Of clamorous ac-
tivity there was holiday dullness most
of the session, so profound at times
that messenger boys nodded and pit
traders sat around the ring edge in
fantastic attitudes waiting for the
country to appreciate Chicago's bad
form and exclusiveness and send their
orders to New York. But somehow
the public was slow to change it's Gus
tom and orders did not come in as ex-
pected. Optimistic brokers said the
test was not a fair one; more time
should be allowed; that news anyway
did not warrant much activity. Others
sat around and gloomily watched the
Chicago board where prices were oc-
casionally chalked down as they drib-
bled in over private wires, wishing
again for the merry ticks which form
erly kept the two markets in constant
touch. During the first hour just
twenty wheat and eleven corn quota
lions were received from Chicago,
while a couple of million H"shels would
cover the morning transactions at
New York. Later in the day. however.
business picked up little and with 1t
came advancing prices, based on
better demand for cash property at the
west, both for domestic and export pur-
poses. Final prices which We're top
for the day, showed 3s@&c advance
over Tuesday night. Future sales were
about 100000 bushels.
