 Another significant feature resulting from the local money market was the pronounced falling off in trading. transactions barely amounting to 950,- GOO shares. This is the first full ses sion in several weeks in which the total has not exceeded one million shares by a liberal margin.
 Price movements were accompanied by a mixture of advances and de- clines. Low grade rails were again in high favor.

 After the close it was estimated that export buying of wheat in the last 48 hours would aggregate as much as B. 700000 bushels. The purchases were made under cover, and the fact that hey were going on was not generally suspected until the last half of the ses- sion.
