i Wheat-The market displayed a some
what easier tone yesterday owing to a
{ less active demand from domestic mill :
ers 1t was said that small amount of
was offset by sales here Of two sailer
4 cargoes of Argentine wheat. Prices in the
: Minneapolis market remained unchanged
S from those of Tuesday, but private dis
patches from there said that there We're
3 150 to 200 cars of good winter wheat on
track for which it was hard to get bids:
The action of the market was believed
mand for -four. The big family trade.
which was largely responsible for the
tivity and strength in high grade wheat.
has fallen off very materially of late.
while at the same time bakers have not
been disposed to pay the high prices be
Ing asked for hard wheat flour There
has been moro or less export demand for
flour since the export restrictions were
removed. but IN many cases the ques-
ton of payment has checked business
Mills are now offering -four more freely.
and during the past day or two have
shown disposition to shade prices some
what In order to effect sales. q
COrn--Tradng operations in the market
were of holiday character and after
closed at 4 to u undv the iinal of
Tuesday Operators We're not inclined to
take an aggressive stand either way, and
trading was largely in the form of even
Ing up outstanding contracts. The cash
position showed a slightly easier tone. and
II was thought highly probable that the
movement Will increase quite materially
after the first OF the new year. The fact
that the market experienced very sharp
break during January of last year is hav-
ing a bearish influence on sentiment in
some quarters. and many believe that un
less the movement does increase the mar
ket is likely to work itself into an over
sold condition. Exporters sold five loads
King dom. but while these small export
orders os appear from time to time shippers
large business as Argentina continues to
underse!l America in Europe.
