by locuses is insignificant.
Wheat market at opening steady, a
d9sc higher, being Influenced by the
unexpected firmness in American mar
kets yesterday and the forecast of
light Argentina shipments. Following
the opening severe selling pressure de-
Veloped and prices declined B61c
with the principal weakness in July.
This pressure was attributed to the
lower offerings of La Plata parcels
and selling by tired holders. Just be-
fore midday there was a rally from
the extreme decline on the further de-
cline in the bank rate to 3A per cent
and this prompted shorts to cover. At
midday the market was irregular at
