Omaha reported many cars of wheat
carried over from last week unsold.
Opening prices here. which ranged
from &c decline to 112c advance, were
followed by material gains all around
and then something of reaction.
An increase in the United States Wis
ible supply total acted temporarily as
a helper for the bulls. The close. how
ever, was strong. ia to IS net high
er. with December at 1.4S12 TO L4834
and May. at 49t2

tons that frost damage was much
more apparent today than had been
