temperatures plowing was In progress as far
up as the Canadian Northwest. This conai
tlon. together with the fact that an ad
vance of 4 cents since the middle of last
week had failed to stimulate any demand on
the part ot manufacturers of flour, proved
too much In the end for ownersnip or wneat.
During the middle -of the day there was a
decided display of strength, owing to a Dig
decrease in the United States visible supply,
It waa pointed out. also, that primary re
ceipts had been 27,000,000 bushels less than

a firm demand greatly in excess ox a year
ago. May varied between 48c and 49c,
closing steady to 44c up at 4Sc. Cash
grades wer nrm. No. 2 yellow nnisnea witn
