Ui.-Heavy proflt-tak-lug and a little talk of peace and of dlf-fU-ulUc hampering export nearly wiped out today a aubstanrlal advance In the wheat market price and oloaed unset lied with gaina of Ho to o net- Com Jinlehed Ho off to He up, oata unchanged to He lower and provision a ahade to J0r down. ' Holder of wheat' did not manifest at ' first any general disposition to sell out 4Uid It was not until the market had risen an average of 1c a buahel that jnuch unloading was done. Vague hint ot peace which had been discovered In ' some of the European dtapatohe were at this juncture made capital ot by peo ' ulatnra working for a decline. There -t-amed to be a widespread dlapnaitlon. however, to avoid a far a po"tblo no ticing crude rumor, with which the .trade ha had of late considerable un " welc.ome experience. Uoaslp, though, of a check being not' unlikely un the sailing :.4tt Kngllali shin from American gulf -Iwirta aa given some attention and had -nr. unsettling effect. A New Orlean freight authority wu 'quoted as saying VMrHlsh vessels were not to leave port -without having official sanction to do so. " Kefuaal of many country dealer to sell Jwhea; except at a decided further ad--vanta kept actual transfer to exporter, "flown to smaller proportion today than Mia recently been the raau. One of the , leading cash concern her was said to bave withdrawn from the market for the present, having disposed of to foreigner 'a'l the wheat readily available and being ..without any expectation of replacing the -etock In an advantageous manner. Milder weather, tending to diminish 'feeding and to enlarge rural offerings, acted a a handicap on the bull la corn. Export sale formed more than an offset, '4 hough, untlt the wheat market suffered -a down turn. Oat held to a narrow Grange. fluctuating only with other cereal. Primary receipt were larger than the shipment. Generous arrival of hog weighed down provisions. There was an outlook also for a further heavy run aa a result of the lifting of the Wisconsin quarantine. Oraln price furnished by ltgan A Bryan, office 215 South Sixteenth street: Arilciei Open.
