corn ranging from &c decline to &c ad-

provisions varying from l0c setback to
a rise Of 15c.
Enforcement of heavy margin
rates. zoe to 35c bushel. on all trad
ing in wheat did much to curtail the
volume of business as we'll as to make
the market a good deal steadier than
for a long while back. The new rates,
virtually shut out the majority of
small spectators, a class traditionally
danger to themselves and to others
during an excited market. News of
greatly enlarged shipments from Aus
tralia and Argentina led to an early
setback in wheat prices, but this fac
later.
Upturns in prices at Winnipeg we're
largely responsible for new buying
here in the wheat market after the
early decline. The fact that Winnipeg
quotations at one time showed a
jump Of nearly four cents a bushel
attracted considerable attention, but
selling here to realize profits was soon
OF sufficient magnitude to bring about
moderate setback from the days
top level.
Corn and oats derived their strength
largely from speculative buying which
had been turned away from wheat on
account of big margins required for
traders in that grain.
Provisions were governed chiefly by
the action Of corn and hogs.
