pie evidence that several important longs had
been turning paper profits into the actual arti-
cles The longs also were reported to have
gone short to some extent with an idea of re-
instating their long lines at more advantageous
prices. Tenders of wheat abroad over night
were tribe higher and only a few orders re-
suited. A fair export business. however, was
reported in durum at Duluth Liverpool

vance here yesterday, and as a result prices at
the opening here were of over nc. The COW

this in turn brought out long wheat. December

Potato handlers continued to report steady
demand for high grade Burbanks, and as there
was very little such arriving they readily
closed out at full figures and occasional lot
brought small premium. The market was
overloaded with common to merely choice pota-
toes. however and receivers experienced consid-
erable difficulty in diminishing the accumulated
supplies. Onions were offered at the fat rate Of
90 cents GENITAL. and although they sold well
the market was far from beingcleaned up at the
close. Changes in miscellaneous vegetables were
few There average demand for most
descriptions and top quality lots of nearly every
thing were steady in price, but the disposition
of OFF stock offered somewhat of a problem TO
sellers.
