Lack of confidence in the buying side
of the wheat market was largely asso-

with the failure of New York broker

ket was also an evident bearish factor
as to wheat as was the absence or Dig
export buying. Various rallies TOOK
place, but they seemed due mainly to
short covering and to be of transient
character, notwithstanding predictions
of revival of business and of greater
industrial activity soon. Selling OF
wheat to go into store here was reported
and there were to-day deliveries Of
