Corn had the largest trade It has expe-
henced for many days. Speculation was
mixed aud nervous and the pit at all times
was crowded with traders. Conditions

Wheat was also weak at the start and
both the local receipts and the estimated
receipts for tomorrow were increased I.iy.

Auences corn was sold in large lots Ltqni'
