There was a fairly good trade In wheat all day and the market closed unchanged to 9i,c a bushel higher than Saturday.

There is much grain in tllo ware houses which, although sold by the farm ers, will not be shipped before early in the spring, or perhaps later This, which Is to be taxed under the stat. law, will m,ake the price paid hy the buyer even more than the fancy amount originally offered.
