WHEAT-The foreign markets showed little
change. Chicago was 5ac lower. The Chicago
letter of Bolton De Ruyter & Co said: Mar

Weather in United Kingdom a little more ia.

Southwestern markets report a good cash de
mand at about uncha nged prices. Primary re-
ceipts still light. Demand still little disap-
pointing. Market here again lapsed into dull
ness. with professional traders working in the
main for lower prices. Spectators seem to be
in the air. The situation is bullish but the
market has no speculative leader and the trade
goes at a small profit or a small loss 81
long receipts keep small and demand 3.
good we see little to make lower prices The
situation abroad would seem to necessitate ar
export demand for wheat in the near future
but il is slow in coming We still regard the
long side of wheat the breaks as the wisest
course
