only 191 cars, against 598 last year. and
the showing of only IA cars in Duluth,
against 3d. was extremely bullsh even
allowing for the fact that the last year
figures are for two days. Minneapolis had
only III cars. With all the strength due
to the light movement there was an ex-
cellent demand for cash wheat, some of it
coming from buyers who persistently held
off for the past day or two.
