total gave decided impetus today TO an
advance i'm the wheat market here. The

Wheat traders ran into genuine sur
prise I'm the visible supply figures. II
had been predicted that the report would
show good enlargement OF stocks. but
instead the aggregate was more than g,

ENplanat tions that the decrease In the
United States visible total was the re
suit of the nonreport OF wheat afloat at
Buffalo where the same condition has
existed in previous wears az the close OF
navigation, led to something of a setback
from the top prices Of the day,
