Foreign demand for wheat was not as
active as 1t was on Monday, and as a
result sales Of wheat for export only
totalled about 100000 bushels. Bel
gium was the principal buyer, but
Germany, England and other ContInen-
tai interests took small amounts OF that
grain. England, 1t was said, would
need more wheat soon. Southwestern
wheat offerings were limited on account
of good milling demand. Millers were
reported as paying to 4 cents more
than export bids for wheat Inquiries
for cash wheat were In the market, but
bids we're out of line. Sales of corn
totalled about 10000 bushels.
