In provisions the outcome varied from 12c decline to BOG advance.
 It was clearly shown that the ma io-i+v of traders lacked confidence in the buil side of the wheat market Even after the fact was widely known that export purchasing of domestic wheat today amounted to s,o00,C0e bushels. upturns in prices failed to hold. A reduction of 12 OOO.OOO bushels in the estimated surnIus of Australian wheat counted. too. only as temporary stimulrs. On the other hand conitaued notice was given to unenpIov. ment figures and to other adverse aspects Of the business situation.
