 The wheat market was weak all day. with the exception of a slight upward squirt soon after the opening. due to the firm mar ket at Liverpool, where prices showed only a small loss despite the sharp decline here yesterday. Pit traders were generally bear ish because of faRorable weather condi- tions and sold freely throughout the entire day. Receipts of new wheat are constant ly increasing and this fact inspired consid- erable selling. Late in the day shorts be- came active buyers and caused a steady tone at the elosa.
