The sharp upward movement of wheat
prices locally during the week put .the
price within lo a bushel of the dol
lar mark and caused tighter holding
among many Interests.
Bluestem wheat sold up to 98 o a
bushel, track delivery, during the week,
w hile club sales were aa high as i94o,
although few paid mora than 93o for
ibis variety.
The movement- of wheat waa not
heavy because there was little to offer
in tha country. A large per cent of
this la being held for higher prices."
