Oontlnned Mg receipts northwest and heavier shipments from Argentina formed ths chief reasons why ths bears were able to maintain control la the wheat pit. Confirmatory dispatches recanting the actual resumption of work by the rail road strikers, who have keen delaying exports from South America, discouraged speculators on ths bull slue snd led to much aggrsaalva selling.
