The wheat market bal ruled very dull and
steady today. Opening was steady at lani
night! figures, and market sold up ons
quarter cent. Healers then took |M>v*wsioa,
and until doss market fluctuated within
range of half cent, very little outside trading
being done Foreign complication*, togt ther
with heavy exerts and slightly better ce*
blas, made the feeling among local crowd
rather more bullish. Prediction*, are for do
crease in receipts at Northwest, and if they
are correct and heavy outward inovemeut
Continues, will instill In decreasing visible
supply and consequent higher price*, tura
weaker. Pressure of heavy receipt** and the
comparative light shipping demand sasses tea)
heavy f?>r market to stand, and unless re?
ceipts hold up think priced cannot be sus?
tained. Provisions active and on the whola
higher all around. Hogs coming iu mod?
erately.
