CHANGED AT CLOSE.
Bullish News Fails to Bring Out
the Expected Speculative
Interest.

| There was excellent buying OF wheat at
| the opening OF yesterdays market Though
! the reports received from the Northwest
| Saturday were found to have been greatly
exaggerated. the rains were said to be eN-
cessive in those sections OF the spring belt
where harvesting had been begun. Re-
ceipts were light and Paris, the only for
eign market in operation. was strong. Profit
taking wiped out the early gains. but the
market closed higher. Statistical news, the
most important factor on Monday. was
considered, bullish.
