In the visiblo_supply statement there appears to bo | 170,000 bushels of wheat afloat on thelakes. This with the visible increuse caused some local selling.

Private detailed advices continue to show u larger outgo of wheat and flour thun the ageregates posted in tho daily public statements. Even the lower igures show an enormous cash demand and the reports of Ironch and Russian shorts today gave an ln- pulse to speculutive buying of Inte futures, The market may remaln normal for a few dava or evon weoks longer, but wo beliove that a large amouny of bull energy may break loose and assert itself any day.
