distressing additions to the costs OF the
average household. Panicky offerings
of wheat, however, quickly passed into
strong hands. and when sellers partly
recovered from their fright and tried to
buy back they found that the surplus
in the pit had virtually disappeared.
On a swift upturn that carried the
market slightly above last nlGhtS s nS-

established by Developments that ex-
porters and millers had been buying,

American seaboard were the highest

end of the day. but with no better rea-

about the chances of the war affording
an outlet maybe for Russian wheat
through the Dardanelles.
There was a slight increase of rural
offerings of wheat today, notably in
parts of Kansas, but in general the
farmers and the country dealers re-
fused to sell. preferring to hold reserve
stocks for higher prices.
Corn maintained relative strength in
the lace of the wheat smash. There
were assertions that the Dutch govern
ment had bought 100000 bushels of
corn today in this country, and that
England was also buying. Foreign
and home demand for oats was good,
and prevented oats from any startling
depression with wheat.
