The weather was the leading item at the
start. The southwest was firm on posi-
BILE winter wheat damage. The wire serv-
Ice in general was out of order, and
much of the daily gossip failed to come
through. Today's closing Liverpool ca
Bile was I'D lower than Wednesday and
I'D to * higher than Friday. There
was considerable realizing at the close,
partly due to reports that tho visible on
is talk CT 6,000,000 bu wheat afoat at
Buffalo, which would mean 6,0o0,Ge0 bu
increase there. as there was no such
item last Monday. Local stocks failed
