,ided sentiment toward accepting the
action of the convention as "substan.
tial" compliance with the terms of

hat the earnest desire of the pres.
ident is to retire from Cuba at the
'arliest possible moment consistent
With the best interest OF the people

pool unchanged, but foreigners were
reported good buyers OF wheat at the
seaboard. The cause Of the advance
here was light selling pressure and
continued dry weather throughout the
west and southwest. Our advices are
that except in limited section the
conditions OF spring wheat In the
northwest are good and that no ma
terial damage has yet resulted from
the dry weather. Our own judgment
is that while there is nothing alarm
ing 80 far, that tendency of develop
ments are against the crop and that
wheat should be bought on the weak
spots. July wheat opened at 74A@
NC. sold down to i4c, up to 747sc, and
