ON BULLISH STATISTICS.
MOVEMENT TO MARKET rs
VERY LIGHT.
Wheat Declines at End of Session
Under Heavy Profit
Taking.

Corn was the feature in yesterdays grain
market. Wheat worked lower. under the
pressure of bearish weather news. but the
coarse grain was In good buying demand
throughout the session, and closed well
above Saturdays prices. Though the visit
bic supply OF wheat showed a heavy de-
crease for the week and receipts were only
moderate. selling orders came out early
because of general rains in the winter relt
Strong spots developed at times on bullish
crop reports from Kansas and other
States. and there was some sympathy with
corn, but toward the end of the session a
great deal OF long stuff came out. and re-
alizing forced the market down.
