Even before it was assured that the
visible supply of wheat in the United
States had begun to shrink the wheat
market here had noticeable upward
swing. This circumstance was due to
sharply higher quotations at Liver
pool, aScribed more or less to militant
steps which the British government
was taking in Egypt. The fact that
world shipments Of wheat last week
were smaller than had been expected
was also a strengthening influence.
Buying on a big scale devcloucd in
the wheat market and despite heavy
selling to realize profits the greater
part of price gains was held at the

said to be Of good volume and the De

favorable crop news from Argentina
