Despite generally bearish news wheat
values again were the uDturn yester-
day. The market was a rather halting
one and some of the big professional
longs were taking profits on the hard
spots. While foreign prices We're higher.
the response to domestic advances wus
comparatively feeble and there was little
war talk in the cabled advices Weather
conditions were favorable throughout the
winter belt and the movement OF grain to
market was brisk. Buying was mainly by
outsiders.

this cause that the outlet slim. and so

VI! M!ILES-Stlmulated BY the good record Tho
market has been making the last week ten
days IN the sale Of what few good mules az
rived, there large supply on tine market
to-day: embracing more than 20 head. This
was altogether too many for the demand under
the present circumstances and a mistake
to have 80 many mules on the market at this
time OF year when all outlets limited Deal
ers could not do otherwise than take advantage
Of the situation and have taken or 81. jefi5
head from the price prevailing last week. Most
of the offerings were very good mules. but this
has made no difference there were too many
for the market and the demand backward.
except at the decline.
