 Wheat exhibited rapid changes and from a strong start, suddenly developed weakness only to again become strong. The opening was strong on its falling off in the worlds ship ments and higher prices at Liverpool. Small receipts in the Northwest also contributed to the bullish sentiment and May opened k@% to %9hc higher at 6ih to 9lx. Commis- sion houses had liberal offerings and there was some liquidation. While there was a good general demand at the start, the selling be- came so urgent that the market was unable to withstand the pressure and prices declined May selling of to Sik.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. l4.-There was no change in the temper of the English market today. Bearish opinions were numerous and seemed to be based principally on the belief ts larger than current advices signify Liver pool has adhered to these theories all along
 However, and renewed expressions are not sur pTistng. There was a disposition here to wait and watch developments, consequently trading was decidedly lighter than has been observed for some time. Liquidation supplied the ma urgent demand for spots doubtless influenced some speculative selling also. The support was contributed mainly by big bulls, who are firm ly rooted in the conviction that the crop is
 materially short and a drop in the movement will soon be witnessed. As a matter of fact tha immediate stability of the market de- pends on developments in the spot depart knent. Much is said about an unsatisfactory
