Other gains generally followed
wheat.
Early wheat trade, lacking news
of any definite overnight Euro
pean developments was slow,
prices moving within a very nar
row range.
Winnipeg, in early trade lost a
cent or more, but reacted sharp
ly to net gains of as much as 1
cents as the tone of European
news turned less favorably. The
Canadian market, however, also
was unable to hold its best lev
els and closed higher. The
Canadian wheat board announced
the British government had
agreed to buy an amount of wheat
under 10.000,000 bushels from
the board and added additional
purchases might have been made
by the British government through
British buying agencies. .
Liverpool eased today, closing
U-H cent lower. Foreign demand
for North American wheat im
proved, sales of 630,000 bushels
of Manitobaa being reported for
shipment to Rotterdam.
