down.
Wheat traders climbed into the pit
at the opening OF the session, with their
view concerning the value OF wheat
lowered from &c TO n half cent This
was due to the fact that Argentina last
week shipped 3,75O,00O bushels, that ca
bles were lower and the weather con-
ditions remained the fast friend OF the
crop. Having given this exhibition or

proceeded to slumber. For hours-in

tuations were narrow as a cable slot.
