a uniformly strong tone. At the outset cables
We're weak and this with the breakup of the
cold weather presaged a setback for wheat.
1t was with some surprise that traders saw a
steady opening and a still steadier advance in

winter wheat and the anxiety of millers to Sc
cure what there was on the market however

smaller sales The foreign demand was re-
ported good and private advices stated that
stocks abroad were too small to permit of any
decline in prices at Liverpool

S2Ac and closed strong, 1Q1Mc higher at 500
S2kc.

tected by the strength in wheat May closed
