received particular attention from wheat
traders much of the time today as an
important bearish factor. Motives for
selling were also found in current adj
vices which laid emphasis on the mag

unsold wheat now afloat for Europe.
Moreover, Liverpool reports said Cana
dian offers of wheat were cheaper and
were again in competition with wheat
from Argentina. causing lowering of
prices all around.
On the other hand. one of the fore
