ing progressed advances at all of the northwest
markets began to be felt. A sharp upturn at
of an Increase OF 1850, 900 bushels in stocks Of
wheat there during the last five days. This
heavy increase. however. was Offset by an un-
usually brisk demand for cash wheat by millers
and by the -four situation. One message to
local commission houses claimed that -four sales
today at Minneapolis were the largest on record,
while another report stated that the country
-four to foreign countries compared with 1915
barrels a year ago. New York also reported
much better inquiry for cash wheat by foreign
ers but added that the advance today had
checked business. Trade late in the session
quieted down considerably, but the demand
seemed still to be unsatisfed. The market
closed strong at about a below the high point
of the day.

trade was small. The market closed firm at

port which showed a comparatively small yield.
The price of the grain was up 1s91c. The close
was at gains of 1s4%c.
