The demand for spring wheat. 1t was Manitoba The partial firmness was well maintained until about the middle of the session when the market began to weaken from free offerings from local holdings. As trading advanced offerings increased in volume. the selling was started by re- port from Minneapols to the sffses that sadex ten Seven of these cars it was said were grad- ed Noe 1 Northern. two grad the durunn variety The excellent quality of these arrivals was the chief factor in bringing out the liberal offerings on the from, territory where 1t was claimed the yield was very unsatisfactory.
