firm with good variety California
wheat quoted unchanged at $1.38

ing the fore part of the week, prin-
clpally as a result of unfavorable

at the principal markets and re-
ceipts were generally small. No. 3
yellow was quoted at Chicago at
$1.O2 to $1.021a, at Minneapolis at
961ac to 9712c and Kansas City 81
to 1.01 per bushel. Demand was
good at Omaha from all classes of
the trade but was slow at Wichita.
