Practically no business ot importance is to day passing between tidewater buyers and sell ers st primary points. There appears to be a surplus of wheat held at Portland tor all immediate requirements. In fact more wneat appears held here than the trade can take care of under prevailing strike conditions. Because of this congested condition there is really only a nominal price basis here for wheat for the week's opening. There appears to be a lack of snap in tbe baying with lead ing exporters showing no anxiety to take hold. au or tnem appear to be in a good position at this time so far aa stocks of grata are con cerned.
