A heavy Short in Terest is being rapidly built up. Opened lower and again met heavy Selling for local and professional account causing scattered Small liquidation and recording new Low Levels with prices 5 1-4 to 5 6-s lower than last night at the close. Short covering was extensive and brought about several Good reactions but these failed to hold. Contrary to general belief the Cash situation showed a continued improvement. Sales were equal to those of yesterday and the local basis was unchanged to 3 cents higher. Primary receipts continued Light. There was an absence of out Side interest on the buying Side and the Market closes heavy tonight. Yet weather is predicted Over much of the Belt. As in wheat there is a Short in j Terest being rapidly built up. I followed the Corn open ing lower and finishing heavy 2 1-2 to 3 3-4 under last night. There was a i further improvement in the Cash de Mand with sales locally of bushels and the trading basis steady i to 1-4 higher. Primary receipts were very Light.

Decent Stocker steers ranged from 54 to 54.75. And Good Stock heifers were scarce up to and above. The Market was slow and weak. Choice hand weight dealers topped at 59, with Tho Prospect of a wife at the towers brought the usual delicate problems that with a Rich Bachelor had been slurred Over. To what stratum would the household now belong the Bride was rumoured to be she was also a Friend of the vicar s wife. The status of clergy families is some what abnormal in a District where they almost exclusively provide the intellectual note. Besides provincial j county adores its clergy. Would county therefore take her it had not yet taken up Wallis and a wife or fell in the rank of her along the Cleri Cul by path she might Eracli these coveted portals. Really Tho prob Lem this time needed most delicate handling. A first Call might be advis Able for a Call provided an opening without closing the door upon an exit. But a Check arose to provide yet another problem. Newcomers to a country District Are not usually Honor de by their first cull until after they have appeared in Church. That proves they Are settled and have unpacked their sunday ready to see and to be seen in fact. It also sets a Seal upon their respectability. The Bride for whom All eyes were searching failed to set that Seal. Sunday after sunday passed. At last mrs. Murray was approached. She was apologetic. But unconvincing mrs Wallis had been away so much with husband his business that word business was a synonym for holy in the ears of local wives. It was All embracing. Very embracing indeed for some of the but that is neither Here nor there. It struck Tho right note. Sym Pathy for a new wife whose sense of duty thus debarred her from showing off her Trousseau overcame strict convention. Bits of pasteboard slowly accumulated in the big Hall of the towers. Perhaps curiosity proved an Ecial motive but it remained Ussatis in justness to Walls it must be owned that his exaction scarcely War ranted such Seif Scarince.
