A bullish sentiment prevailed among wheat
traders at the opening. due partly to the govern

potent influence was the frmness at Liver
pool in the face of the weakness here yesterday.
The effect OF reports of rains in Argentina was
also just beginning to be felt and the continued

general demand. May up 1sqhc to i4QAc
