Of influential buying Of late and quite
an effort apparently to advance p,.ces.
The action Of the market indicates a
rather heavy tone and some further
decline unless there is an important
change in conditions.
Corn Market is practically un-
changed. It Is dull, but even the
weakness in wheat developed but
very little pressure. The prevailing
conditions are somewhat monotonous,
There is no bull party and very little
bullish effort, but the market at no
time develops much selling pressure
or much weakness. Receipts continue
moderate and demand moderate also.
If the farmers are marketing much
corn they are evidently finding a
better market for IT nearby than
here. Until these conditions change
We think We would buy on the breaks.
